I think it is extremely important to pay attention to the results here. The authors admit that there is no single gene or set of genes that predict antisocial behavior and that there is only a small increase in RISK (different from actual presence) of antisocial behavior if a person has any one variant of the genes mentioned. To have any significant impact on risk of engaging in criminal behavior a person would have to suffer from almost all of the gene variants, which is unlikely in the population.
Biological Criminology has lead to extremely adverse consequences and whenever discussed should be explained in a way that cautions people of the inconsistencies found within the research.
