The genetic predisposition to murder could be found if people were looking for it, and behavioral patterns can be picked up at a young age. As for environment, everything from poverty to war cause people to think that murder is an acceptable practice. I don't see anything there that we can't attempt to solve.

I don't think you can't solve it. Again, in solving it, you've removed the ability for 100% free will.
I choose to not kill people on a daily basis. I have the choice to do so almost every second of every day. There are some people who cannot make that choice, it's made for them those are "flawed" in some chemical way they cannot help that.
But there are those who chose to do so. They choose to murder, they choose to commit crimes.
