In this paper we consider how disturbances in the neurobiological/neurochemical processes at a young age lead to problematic attachment styles in later life, and which can potentiate probability of offending behavior. In particular, we will contrast attachment and offending patterns of the more generalist type of offender (i.e., those who have a varied criminal career, committing both violent and non-violent offenses, in extremis the psychopathic type of offender), with the more specialist sexual offender (prototypically, the fixated pedophile), in the light of a preliminary neurobiological model. Here, we will argue that these two extremes of offenders show, or are predicted to show, differential patterns of neurochemical/neurobiological functioning.
在本文中，我们将探讨在年轻时神经生物学/神经化学过程的干扰如何导致以后生活中出现问题的依恋模式，以及这些干扰如何增加犯罪行为的可能性。特别是，我们将根据一个初步的神经生物学模型，对比更具普遍性的罪犯（即那些有多种犯罪生涯，犯下暴力和非暴力犯罪的罪犯，在极端情况下是精神病态罪犯）和更具专业性的性犯罪者（典型的是固定性恋童癖者）的依恋和犯罪模式。在这里，我们将认为这两种极端的罪犯表现出或预测表现出不同的神经化学/神经生物学功能模式。
