The Genetic and Neuroscientific Basis Of The Criminal Mind

The Criminal Mind by Adrian Raine.  The Wall Street Journal.  April 26, 2013.

The evidence of a genetic origin for criminal behavior is presented along with the role of lead in deforming the brain, lack of early childhood nutrition, and abuse in shaping the physiology of the brain.  The author proposes a role for brain scans in parole and prison release decisions.
