行为遗传学研究表明，生物因素在反社会行为的发展中发挥了作用。这项研究的大部分还解释了环境和基因如何结合起来创造不同的表型。作者大量引用这些文献，并使用国家青少年健康纵向研究的数据来检查遗传和环境对青少年犯罪参与的影响。多变量模型的结果表明，遗传因素对青少年行为不端有直接影响。然而，最重要的是，遗传因素与犯罪同龄人和低自控力相互作用，以预测犯罪的变化。对Add Health数据的分析也提供了证据，表明存在共同的遗传途径，导致青少年参与犯罪，形成反社会同龄人群体，以及发展低自我控制力。
Behavioral genetic research has revealed that biogenic factors play a role in the development of antisocial behaviors. Much of this research has also explicated the way in which the environment and genes may combine to create different phenotypes. The authors draw heavily from this literature and use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine genetic and environmental effects on adolescent delinquent involvement. The results of the multivariate models reveal that genetic factors have a direct effect on youthful misconduct. Most important, however, is that genetic factors interact with delinquent peers and with low self-control to predict variation in delinquency. Analysis of the Add Health data also provide evidence suggesting that there is a shared genetic pathway to delinquent involvement, to antisocial peer group formation, and to the development of low self-control.
