Differentiate between the biochemical conditions that produce crime Biochemical conditions are believed to influence antisocial behavior. Biocriminologists maintain that an improper diet can cause chemical and mineral imbalance and lead to cognitive and learning deficits and problems, and these factors in turn are associated with antisocial behaviors. Abnormal levels of male sex hormones (androgens) can produce aggressive behavior. Excessive amounts of testosterone, the principal male hormone, has been linked to aggressive behaviors. Exposure to lead and other environmental contaminants has been linked to emotional and behavioral disorders.
