It's very unclear what these studies are actually measuring. Framing it as "criminality" or "antisocial behaviour" presumes a lot about the universality of those categories. Also the Frick/Mason study explicitly says that the literature is too small to draw solid conclusions.

There might be some category of "aggression", or even something like "psychopathy", that is heritable and that correlates with criminal convictions. Or it could be some totally other thing, I don't know.
