Can a person become criminal due to changes in surroundings

[mapuc]

(couldn't come up with a better headlines, than this one)

It happens that some of our immigrants from North Africa or Middle East commit a criminal act while they await their asylum from the Danish State.

Some years back some psychologist said on national tv.

(from my memory)

"It's not the crime they have committed we should forgive, but understand why they did it.

It's a huge Change in culture, language, environment and other things(can remember all)for them

Those major changes can very well turn a person into a criminal "

Some of the words are mine.

Those words made me wonder-was he right when i said those words

Can major changes in a person life turn him or her into a criminal
Changes in culture, language, environment and other things.

This post/thread is NOT about islam, it's more a psychological question.

´cause was his answer a political correct answer or a scientific correct answer ?
