Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the androgen receptor (AR) gene's CAG repeats and physical aggression, finding that higher CAG repeat numbers correlate with lower crime victimization rates, especially for violent crimes.
- In the second part, the research examines other factors like GDP, pathogen prevalence, and average intelligence, discovering that average intelligence significantly mediates the connection between CAG repeats and crime rates, especially violent offenses.
- The findings suggest that the AR gene may influence criminality more through cognitive ability than through testosterone exposure, indicating a need for further research on its effects on brain functioning and intellectual development.
