It is impossible to change ones perspective. That is something only they can do. One can direct to their own change and even then it's them following the direction. Genetics only influence they do not have more control over our will.
And I was raised in the ghetto and hang out with hoodlims and I am not one. I also have a mother who is not present emotionally creating loads of issues in myself. I didn't grow up to have a criminal mindset. I'm not one to shy away from showing affection or not am I void of emotion.
Again both are influences. and still are under our own personal will. That is only once we realize we have control.
If you view something to be set in stone and to be out of your control then it will be so.
