S: the role of genetic factors in aggression can be said to be deterministic as it suggests that we are pre-programmed to be aggressive, when this could be due to free will.
E: If people are biologically determined to be aggressive then its not possible to hold them responsiable for their actions, and this may have implications on legal systems.
E: Therefore this theory does not take into account the fact that individuals may be aggression because they WANT to be, not just because of genetics. This has implications of the validity of the biological approach as it cannot be generalised to all people, as it lacks support to suggest our genes only play a part in our aggression.
