Next time a politician says 'we must address the root causes of violence', ask whether they're referring to 1) evolutionary processes of sexual selection 2) genetic influences on aggressiveness & impulsivity, or 3) over-regulated economies that incentivize 'illegal markets'

Antisocial attitudes and beliefs are one of the biggest predictors of reoffending in adults and children. It’s among the top criminogenic needs that are targeted when working with offenders.
Yep, but I think heritable sociopathy/psychopathy is driving a lot of the 'antisocial attitudes', rather than the attitudes shaping the aggressiveness.

My million dollars is that we'll find that culture and hard-wiring will each have massive levers we can pull to make huge differences. But it won't be easy.
