Despite major advances in understanding the biological basis of human behaviour, the most popular theories of criminal behaviour remain restricted to those that consider only learning and social environmental variables. All of these strictly environmental theories have difficulty explaining why neurological, hormonal, and other biological factors would be related to criminal behaviour, yet evidence for links between such biological factors and criminality has grown. This article puts forward a… Expand

Sex, status, and criminality: A theoretical nexus
  • L. Ellis
  • Psychology, Medicine
  • Social biology
  • 2004
TLDR
According to the theory, most males begin to exhibit non‐playful forms of competitive/victimizing behavior around the onset of puberty as they start their reproductive careers, and adolescent males with the greatest abilities to learn will transition quickly from crude forms of competition to more sophisticated forms, while males who have the greatest difficulties learning will transition more slowly.

The emerging science of evolutionary criminology
Ellis (this special edition) has advanced a comprehensive theoretical and empirical account of the possible cause(s) of ethnic differences in criminal behavior. In this response, we 1) assess the… Expand
General Theory versus ENA Theory
TLDR
For the 10 hypotheses tested, ENA theory surpassed general theory in predictive scope and accuracy and its predictions of positive correlations between pain tolerance, muscularity, and offending were largely confirmed. Expand
Identifying and explaining apparent universal sex differences in cognition and behavior
Abstract With growing recognition that there are universal sex differences in cognition and behavior, four theories have been proposed to account for these differences: the founder effect theory ,… Expand
Race/ethnicity and criminal behavior: Neurohormonal influences
Evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory asserts that brain exposed to androgens plus the brain's ability to learn accounts for most of the sex and age variations in criminal behavior. Here, the… Expand
Race / ethnicity and criminal behavior : Neurohormonal in fl uences
Evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory asserts that brain exposed to androgens plus the brain's ability to learn accounts for most of the sex and age variations in criminal behavior. Here, the… Expand
Lynn's r/k selection theory of criminality revisited: Consideration of individual differences and developmental life history contributions to the patterning of population differences in antagonistic social strategies.
We revisit an old theory proposed by Lynn, connecting race differences in criminality and psychopathy with r/k selection. The origin of this group-difference is attributed to cold-selection in the… Expand
Androgen-promoted physiological traits and criminality: A test of the evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory
Abstract According to the evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory of criminal and antisocial behavior, androgens (male sex hormones) have evolved the tendency to alter brain functioning in ways… Expand
The evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory of criminal behavior expanded
Evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory contends that males are more involved in crime than females due to an evolved female preference for mates who are (or at least appear to be) stable resource… Expand
FETAL TESTOSTERONE AND CRIMINALITY: TEST OF EVOLUTIONARY NEUROANDROGENIC THEORY†
Evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory asserts that criminality is a crude form of competitive behavior over resources, status, and mating opportunities. Theoretically, males have been selected… Expand

TLDR

The biosocial female choice theory of social stratification
  • L. Ellis
  • Psychology, Medicine

TLDR
The theory asserts that most human females have evolved mating preferences biased toward males who are competent in provisioning resources, and postulates that alleles have accumulated on the human genome that promote social status‐striving and achievement to varying degrees. Expand

High autonomic arousal and electrodermal orienting at age 15 years as protective factors against criminal behavior at age 29 years.
TLDR
The findings suggest that individuals predisposed to adult crime by virtue of showing antisocial behavior in adolescence may be protected from committing crime by high levels of autonomic arousal and orienting. Expand
