   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]
