The author examines criminal behaviour from birth to adulthood in a
sample of nearly 1,000 subjects in order to determine the
biological and sociological influences on violence. Over 100
predictors of violent behaviour found to be significant in past
biological and sociological studies of crime are analysed. The
results indicate that both biological and environmental factors
produce strong, and independent, effects on both delinquency and
adult crime and violence among both males and females. Powerful
influences on violence include behavioural disorder during youth,
low school achievement, hyperactivity, lead poisoning, and low
levels of parental education. The results do not confirm the
findings of previous studies that indicate direct relationships
between delinquency and early intelligence, mental retardation,
socioeconomic status, or early central nervous system dysfunction.
The author concludes that many of the factors contributing to
criminal and violent behaviour can be prevented because they have
clear environmental origins that can be eliminated.
