One emerging aspect of recent advances in neurocriminology is the discovery of possible links between violent criminal behaviour and genetics.
Analysis of data from several studies indicates that the strongest link between genetic variation and aggression comes from Monoamine oxidase A gene .
• It has earned a nickname “warrior gene” because it has been linked to aggression in observational and survey-based studies.
• It encodes an enzyme MAO-A responsible for catabolizing amine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline.
Deficiencies in MAO-A activity have been identified in numerous studies to correlate positively with aggressive behaviour, but its influence may be moderated by environmental factors.
Researchers have presented mounting evidences that biological, environmental, and social factors are involved in criminal behaviour.
Although further research into this aspect of neurocriminology is required, the findings highlight an ethical dilemma with regards to prosecuting criminals.
Since individuals cannot be held accountable for their genes, should they be held responsible for their dispositions and resulting actions?
However, no controlled experimental studies have tested whether the “warrior gene” actually drives behavioral manifestations of these tendencies
An attempt has been made in this booklet as usual to include Functions, Clinical and Legal Implications & the Impact of an allelic variation of the MAOA gene on criminal behavior.
