Criminal behaviour During this presentation we will be getting inside the mind of a criminal and exploring the biology and upbringing in relation to criminal activity. By Jess, Sally and Eilisha

Biology of a criminal... Neuro chemicals are responsible for the activation of behavioural patterns and tendencies in specific areas of the brain. There have been attempts to determine the role of neuro chemicals in influencing criminal or antisocial behaviour. Included in the list of neuro chemicals already cited by researchers are monoamine oxidase, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that has been shown to be related to antisocial behaviour. Specifically, low MAO activity results in disinhibition which can lead to impulsivity and aggression found by Elliot in 2000

Biology of a criminal... Serotonin is a neurochemical that plays an important role in the personality traits of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder as found by Larsen & Buss in 2005. It is also involved with brain development and a disorder in this system could lead to an increase in aggressiveness and impulsivity. Low levels of serotonin have been found to be associated with impulsive behaviour and emotional aggression. In addition, children who suffer from conduct disorder; have also been shown to have low blood serotonin. Needless to say, there is a great deal of evidence that shows serotonin is related to aggression, which can be further associated with antisocial or criminal behaviour.

Biology of a criminal... Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that is associated with pleasure and is also one of the neurotransmitters that is chiefly associated with aggression. Activation of both affective (emotionally driven) and predatory aggression is accomplished by dopamine. Genes in the dopaminergic pathway have also been found to be involved with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) In one study by Morley and Hall (2003), a relationship was found between the genes in the dopaminergic pathway, impulsivity, ADHD, and violent offenders. Obviously, from this list of neuro chemicals it seems plausible that there is a genetic component to antisocial or criminal behaviour.

Biology of a criminal... Personality traits Personality traits and disorders have recently become essential in the diagnosis of individuals with antisocial or criminal behaviour. These traits and disorders do not first become evident when an individual is an adult, rather these can be seen in children. For that reason it seems logical to discuss those personality disorders that first appear in childhood. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder (CD), and Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) are three of the more prominent disorders that have been shown to have a relationship with later adult behaviour .

Biology of a criminal... Personality traits ADHD is associated with hyperactivity-impulsivity and the inability to keep attention focused on one thing. They also point to the fact that children diagnosed with ADHD have the inability to analyze and anticipate consequences or learn from their past behaviour. Children with this disorder are at risk of developing ODD and CD, unless the child is only diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), in which case their chances of developing ODD or CD are limited. Oppositional Defiance Disorder is characterized by argumentativeness, noncompliance, and irritability, which can be found in early childhood. They start to lie and steal, engage in vandalism, substance abuse, and show aggression towards peers. Frequently ODD is the first disorder that is identified in children and if sustained, can lead to the diagnosis of CD. It is important to note however that not all children who are diagnosed with ODD will develop Conduct Disorder.

Biology of a criminal... Personality traits Conduct Disorder is characterized with an individual's violation of societal rules and norms as stated by Morley & Hall, 2003. What is even more significant is the fact that ODD, ADHD, and CD are risk factors for developing Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). This disorder can only be diagnosed when an individual is over the age of eighteen and at which point an individual shows persistent disregard for the rights of others. ASPD has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of criminal activity. Therefore, it is of great importance that these early childhood disorders are correctly diagnosed and effectively treated to prevent future problems
