Notes -
I don't know a HBD forum where to ask.
How strong are various MAOA alleles associated with criminal offending (chiefly, homicide and violent assault)?
Difference between 3R and 4R seems relatively minor and smaller than IQ~crime association. And there's 2R.
It also appears that a 1.5 repeat allele was discovered in Middle East countries.
Somewhat unrelated notice, the rare good faith answer to mentioning 2R allele I saw on reddit was like that:
"Yes, it's true that %X% are likely to have 2R allele, which increases offending probability, but then %Y% are more likely to have "crime alleles" in other genes, but they don't talk about it as much". I say it because some people think that it's in current environment that alleles "cause crime", but environemnt should be changed. And in a
communist utopiaprorper environment alleles don't have any effect on crime.More options
