You're already getting too far ahead of things.
First, think about what a 'crime' is. What constitutes 'crime' is based entirely on what the 'law' is. Laws (in this sense) are a creation of man, not nature.
So now we are correlating a man-made concept with something that is (at least partially) the product of nature. If this correlation is real, we need to explore that aspect of it before we start talking about policy.
So what makes a face? Genes, sure but that can't be the whole story. Environment? Nutrition? Psychology? Over time, as a person matures, maybe all of these things and more play some role in how his face will turn out.
Then, could it be that something behind the factors that shape a face also promote a psychology that puts less importance on submitting to authority? When we look at this as a criminal justice issue, that seems like a bad thing. In another context, it may not be.
This is kind of what I mean by approaching the issue with an open mind.
