Resumo

El principal propósito de este trabajo es presentar una reflexión a partir de las evidencias empíricas disponibles que relacionan factores genéticos, biológicos y determinadas características de personalidad con conductas antisociales y/o delictivas. La reflexión sobre la vía explicativa que conduce desde los genes y otros factores biológicos a la conformación de estructuras de personalidad que, a su vez, configuran organismos con patrones de interacción con el entorno proclives a la aparición de conductas antisociales y/o delictivas. El análisis enfatiza la necesidad de evitar los reduccionismos deterministas en el campo y aboga por la elaboración de perspectivas integradoras.
