      From: rpattree2@gmail.com              Psychological traitsEdit       Conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder       Childhood conduct disorder and adult antisocial personality disorder are       associated with one another and criminal behavior.[1][5]              Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder       Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder correlates positively with       criminality.[1]              Depression and suicide       Minor depression and probably clinical depression is more likely among       offenders. Depression in the family is associated with criminality. Criminals       are more likely to be suicidal.[1]              Schizophrenia       Schizophrenia and criminality appear to be positively correlated.[1][6]              Intelligence quotient and learning disabilities       There is also a relationship between lower IQ and crime.              The American Psychological Association's 1995 report Intelligence: Knowns and       Unknowns stated that the correlation between IQ and crime was -0.2. In his       book The g Factor (1998), Arthur Jensen cited data which showed that,       regardless of race, people with        IQs between 70 and 90 have higher crime rates than people with IQs below or       above this range, with the peak range being between 80 and 90.              A learning disability is a substantial discrepancy between IQ and academic       performance. It has a relationship to criminal behavior. Slow reading       development may be particularly relevant.[1]              Personality traits       Several personality traits are associated with criminality: High impulsivity,       high psychoticism, high sensation-seeking, low self control, high aggression       in childhood, and low empathy and altruism.[1]                     Excerpt From:       http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlates_of_crime              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
