研究了862名瑞典男性在幼年时被非亲属收养的先天性和出生后犯罪前因的相互作用。大多数解释的变异是由于被收养者的遗传倾向之间的差异，但也作出了重大贡献的出生后环境，单独或与特定的遗传亚型相结合。根据早期的研究，酗酒和非酒精性犯罪的先天性前因之间没有重叠，但一些出生后的变量与犯罪和一种仅限于男性表达的酗酒是共同的。社会地位低本身并不足以导致犯罪，但与特定类型的遗传易感性结合确实会增加风险。不稳定的收养前安置有助于轻微犯罪和男性有限的酗酒的风险，但不是其他类型的酗酒。我们讨论了这些结果的临床和社会影响。
The interaction of congenital and postnatal antecedents of criminality was studied in 862 Swedish men adopted at an early age by nonrelatives. Most explained variability was due to differences between the genetic predispositions of the adoptees, but substantial contributions were also made by postnatal environment, either alone or in combination with specific genetic subtypes. There was no overlap between the congenital antecedents of alcoholism and nonalcoholic criminality, but some postnatal variables were common to criminality and one type of alcoholism that is limited to expression in men, according to earlier studies. Low social status alone was not sufficient to lead to criminality, but did increase risk in combination with specific types of genetic predisposition. Unstable preadoptive placements contributed to the risks of both petty criminality and male-limited alcoholism, but not to other types of alcohol abuse. We discuss these results in terms of their clinical and social implications.
