versus other types (bad). Percent of boys with criminal behavior in adulthood
1) bio parents normal, rearing family good = 3%
2) bio parents normal, rearing family bad = 6%
3) bio parents criminal, rearing family good = 12%
4) bio parents criminal, rearing family bad = 40%
Indicates that biological vulnerability is important
Maoa gene - answer-codes for an enzyme that breaks down serotonin, which is low in
people with apd. Interact with environment: if individuals have variant of the gene that
causes low serotonin plus history of being abused, there is a much higher rate of apd.
