Dr. John Paul Wright is Professor of Criminal Justice in the Division of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Wright was rated as the most productive associate professor in criminology and was recently evaluated as one of the most cited criminologists in the United States. He has published over 130 scholarly articles in criminology, psychology, behavioral genetics, and molecular genetics journals and is a frequent lecturer to professional organizations interested in the development of serious, violent offending. The winner of four teaching awards, he teaches in the area of life-course development and biosocial criminology.

In this episode, we talk about the psychology of criminal behavior. We go through the several levels of analysis for the development of criminal behavior, including its evolutionary bases, its behavioral genetics, prenatal factors, sex differences, the role of self-control, the influence of peer groups, maternal and paternal environmental and genetic influences, and social factors. We also talk about personality traits, the Dark Triad traits, and if this knowledge should be applied to the criminal justice system.
