Among the 700 inmates of a big Austrian prison 5 cases of XYY caryotype were detected by means of the Quinacrinfluorescence method and subsequent lymphocyte culture. Keeping in mind that, if at all, only a small amount of criminal behavior may be explained by chromosomal factors three hypotheses about possible links between the XYY abnormality and criminal behavior are discussed in this paper. 1. the connection is a spurious one, as both criminal behavior and the XYY caryotype are more frequent in a working class population without being necessarily linked causally. 2. criminal behavior may be a consequence of the bodily abnormalities connected with the XYY abnormality. 3. the XYY type may contribute to criminal behaviour by acting upon neuro-endocrinological structures.
在奥地利一所大型监狱的700名囚犯中，通过喹吖因荧光法及后续淋巴细胞培养检测出5例XYY核型。鉴于染色体因素即便能解释犯罪行为，其比例也微乎其微，本文探讨了关于XYY异常与犯罪行为之间可能联系的三种假说。1. 这种联系是虚假的，因为犯罪行为和XYY核型在工人阶级人群中更为常见，但不一定存在因果联系。2. 犯罪行为可能是与XYY异常相关的身体异常的结果。3. XYY型可能通过作用于神经内分泌结构而导致犯罪行为。
