Abstract:
Contemporary research aimed at identifying the causes of criminal behaviour has long gone beyond the traditional scientific ideas about the social nature of crime. The number of scientific papers is multiplying; the authors return to the ideas of Lombrosianism and justify the commission of a crime by various genetic reasons of predisposition to committing a crime. Even judicial practice is close to using the achievements of modern science as evidence in a criminal case.Judicial statistics indicate a slight decrease in the number of violent crimes committed annually. However, their share in the

Abstract:
Insanity defense is sometimes invoked in criminal cases, and its demonstration is usually based on a multifactorial contribution of behavioural, clinical, and neurological elements. Neuroradiological evidence of structural alterations in cerebral areas that involve decision-making and moral reasoning is often accepted as a useful tool in these evaluations. On the other hand, the genetic predisposition to anti-social behavior is still controversial. In this paper, we describe two cases of violent crimes committed by young carriers of genetic variants associated with personality disorder; both t

Abstract:
Bryan Vila's general paradigm for understanding criminal behavior focuses on the role of developmental factors in determining motivation for crime (1994:338). In his recent proposal in PLS, Vila states that criminality is “a predisposition that disproportionately favors criminal behavior” (1997:4). He suggests, further, that there always are some people who are motivated to use force, fraud, or stealth to obtain resources: either to make the best out of a bad situation, or to take advantage of a good situation. That is, some individuals have competitive advantages over others within a particul

Abstract:
The controversy about Iblis as a "convicted" creature, cursed and expelled from various heavenly pleasures is a dramatic and perennial narrative in every divine religion. Since God proclaimed that he would create the first ruling creature on Earth [read Adam], Iblis not only presented himself as a dissident and seducer of Adam and his descendants, as the conclusion of the classical and modern interpretations above but also at the same time a symbol of negative predisposition or personification of crime, borrowing Rahman's term. This means that every form of crime committed by humans, whether i

Abstract:
The management of mentally handicapped offenders has long been problematic. Three misconceptions of the relationship between mental handicap and criminality have been widely held since the turn of the century, despite there being no conclusive evidence in their support (Jackson, 1983). These are: that mentally handicapped people are more likely than others to commit antisocial acts in general; that they have a particular predisposition to commit serious crime, especially sexual crime (Robertson, 1981); and that they are unlikely to be deterred by normal sanctions.

The Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) gene, paired with a traumatic childhood background, can predispose an individual to behave impulsively and aggressively. Defence lawyers see this genetic link as a way to reduce a defendant’s sentence. This study endeavoured to establish whether mock jurors see this evidence as grounds for reducing a sentence, or, as the literature indicates, likely to increase it, on the basis of dangerousness. The influence of genetic evidence on crime-type differences (i.e., assault compared to bank fraud) was also investigated. A total of 217 participants (148 females) betwee

Dostoevky’s ideas about the nature of the crime clashed in the Swedish cultural space with the influence of É. Zola’s Naturalism and C.

Crime levels are a perennial development problem in Latin America and a renewed concern in the United States. At the same time, trust in the police has been falling, and questions abound about citizens' willingness to support government efforts to fight crime. We conduct a survey experiment to elicit willingness to contribute toward reducing crime across five Latin American countries and the United States. We compare homicide, robbery, and theft estimates and find a higher willingness to contribute for more severe crimes and for higher crime reductions. In addition, we examine the role of info
