Trace mineral analysis of human hair was utilized to determine whether violent and nonviolent criminals could be differentiated on the basis of concentrations of levels of major and trace minerals. 40 violent and 40 nonviolent inmates from a prison population were selected for study. 27 mineral levels were analyzed and a discriminant function analysis correctly classified 86% of the violent and 78% of the nonviolent inmates. The results lent support to the hypothesis that significantly different levels of trace minerals could be found between the two groups.
利用对人类头发的微量矿物质分析来确定暴力罪犯和非暴力罪犯是否可以根据主要和微量矿物质的浓度水平进行区分。从监狱人群中挑选了40名暴力罪犯和40名非暴力罪犯进行研究。分析了27种矿物质水平，判别函数分析正确地将86%的暴力罪犯和78%的非暴力罪犯进行了分类。结果支持了这一假设，即两组之间可以发现微量矿物质水平存在显著差异。
