Abstract

GENETIC, NUTRITIONAL, AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN STUDIED AND DEMONSTRATED TO CAUSE DEVIANT BEHAVIOR ARE EXAMINED. THE NECESSITY OF FURTHER STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF CEREBRAL TRAUMA AS A MEANS OF REDEFINING CRIME, RESEARCHING ITS CAUSES, AND FINDING NEW METHODS OF COMBATTING IT IS EMPHASIZED.
