A gene-based evolutionary explanation for the association between criminal involvement and number of sex partners.

Biodemography and social biology - 1 Jan 2008

Beaver Kevin M, Wright John Paul, Walsh Anthony

Abstract excerpt

Empirical research has revealed a positive relationship between number of sex partners and involvement in antisocial behaviors. Most attempts to explain this association have taken an evolutionary perspective and argued that the same traits (e.g., impulsiveness, shortsightedness, and aggressiveness) that are related to a large number of sex partners are also related to criminal involvement. However, there is also...
