“…, 2001) present evidence that in utero famine exposure is associated with impairments of the central nervous system, worse self-reported health, and coronary heart disease. Neugebauer et al (1999) find a higher prevalence of antisocial personality disorder during adulthood, and the results by Ravelli et al (1998 propose increased glucose resistance later in life and higher rates of obesity in cohorts exposed during the fetal stage. However, the unique dataset that was collected to investigate the long-run health effects of prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine does not contain socioeconomic outcome measures like educational attainment or labor market performance.…”

Effects of Prenatal and Early Life Malnutrition: Evidence from the Greek Famine Abstract This paper examines the long run education and labor market effects from early-life exposure to the Greek 1941-42 famine. Given the short duration of the famine, we can separately identify the famine effects for cohorts exposed in utero, during infancy and at one year of age. We find that adverse outcomes due to the famine are largest for infants. Further, in our regression analysis we exploit the fact that the famine was more severe in urban than in rural areas. Consistent with our prediction, we find that urban-born cohorts show larger negative impacts on educational outcomes than the rural-born cohorts.

“…Poor nutrition in either the first or second trimester of pregnancy has been associated with a 2.5-fold increase in antisocial personality disorder in the offspring 27 . Malnutrition in infancy is associated with conduct problems in adolescence, a relationship that is partly mediated by low IQ 28 .…”

Neurocriminology: implications for the punishment, prediction and prevention of criminal behaviour

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Criminal behaviour and violence are increasingly viewed as worldwide public health problems. A growing body of knowledge shows that criminal behaviour has a neurobiological basis, and this has intensified judicial interest in the potential application of neuroscience to criminal law. It also gives rise to important questions. What are the implications of such application for predicting future criminal behaviour and protecting society? Can it be used to prevent violence? And what are the implications for the way offenders are punished?

“…35 Maternal malnutrition characterized by a poor intake of proteins, if experienced at the first and second trimesters, has been associated with adult antisocial behavior. 35,38 Minor physical abnormalities at birth suggest poor neural development and may be associated with the delinquent and violent behavior seen in children and adolescents. 39 Childhood malnutrition Liu et al carried out a longitudinal prospective study to evaluate the association between malnutrition experienced until the age of 3 and aggressive behavior at ages 8, 11 and 17 in a cohort of 1,795 children of which 353 had experienced malnourishment at age 3.…”
