P. Wright et al., 2008; J. P. Wright & Beaver, 2005).”
Pulling back the curtain on heritability studies: biosocial criminology in the postgenomic era (2014, background): “…few months new studies estimate the heritability of some aspect of criminality, such as self-reported delinquency (e.g., Boisvert et al., 2012; Wright et al., 2008), arrests (Beaver et al., 2012), self-control (e.g., Beaver et al., 2008, 2009), and gang membership (Barnes, Boutwell, and Fox,…”
