Abstract

cross-cultural studies crime delinquency personality
This report describes the results of analyses of the relationship between personality and crime in the Dunedin Study sample and also in the Pittsburgh Study sample of 12 and 13 year olds. The result shows a number of significant associations and links certain predisposing factors with antisocial behaviour later in life. A comparison of the Dunedin and Pittsburgh results showed remarkable consistency.
