Question 6

A forensic psychologist is preparing a court report for a defendant accused of violent assault. The psychologist plans to argue that biological factors, specifically genetic abnormalities impacting physiological systems, may have contributed to the defendant's impulsive aggression.

With reference to the research by Brunner et al. (1993), outline how genetic and physiological factors can be used to explain criminal or aggressive behaviour in this context.
