Antisocial Behavior of Boys And Autonomic Activity/Reactivity

  • Chapter
Book cover Biological Contributions to Crime Causation

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 40))

Abstract

This chapter will be mote empirical than theoretical. There are two interconnected reasons for making the empirical studies primary. First, the results may be of some interest in themselves, and second, careful observation and analyses of the phenomena studied precede (and indeed form the best basis for) sound theorizing about the lawful principles of individual functioning that we are researching.
