    Not sure why I said anything about crime. That was silly.
    How about this. Brain development may follow laws. However thought processes don't. That's why people in the same circumstances will have different views beliefs and behaviors. That is their free will. I think that makes sense. Yes, let's go with that.

      As far as we know everything follows laws. Us not knowing the laws does not make them any less valid ;)

      The real question is whether these laws allow for free will or not, or even what we can consider free will to be.

      "That's why people in the same circumstances will have different views beliefs and behaviors. That is their free will. I think that makes sense. Yes, let's go with that."

      People have different opinions because they are different because their surroundings were different :P

      If you are interested in the topic I would suggest starting with wiki and working from there.

      Lastly I just want to say that Determinism does not necessarily eliminate free will. Philosophy, eh?
