自我报告的青少年犯罪的原因的性别差异进行了检查，在全和半同胞出生的妇女在美国的全国代表性样本。在影响青少年犯罪的基因中，没有检测到定性的性别差异。同样，遗传和环境影响导致的攻击性和非攻击性犯罪的变异比例在女孩和男孩之间没有显著差异。尽管如此，总的差异，在犯罪的男孩更大，和标量性别差异模型表明，遗传和环境对犯罪的影响有较少的影响，在少女犯罪的人口变化。同样，对多基因多阈值模型的检验表明，女孩比男孩需要对犯罪行为的表现承担更大的因果责任。
Sex differences in the causes of self-reported adolescent delinquency were examined in full and half siblings born to a nationally representative sample of women in the United States. Qualitative sex differences in the genes that influence delinquency were not detected. Similarly, the proportions of variance in both aggressive and nonaggressive delinquency attributable to genetic and environmental influences did not differ significantly between girls and boys. Nonetheless, total variance in delinquency was greater among boys, and a scalar sex-differences model suggested that genetic and environmental influences on delinquency have less effect on population variation in delinquency among girls. Similarly, a test of the polygenic multiple threshold model suggested that girls require greater causal liability for the expression of delinquency than boys.
