Abstract
Mealey's evolutionary reasoning is logically flawed. Furthermore, the
evidence presented in favor of a genetic contribution to the causation
of sociopathy is overinterpreted. Given the potentially large societa
l impact of sociobiological speculation on the roots of criminality, m
ore-than-usual caution in interpreting data is called for.
