Summary: | : In addition to social and environmental factors, individual personality traits have intricately linked with maladaptive behaviour. Thus, the purpose of this article was to review the link
between individual personality traits and criminality. A systematic review was conducted to obtain
information regarding the link between individual personality traits with criminal behaviour in
the Sage, Web of Science, APA PsycNet, Wiley Online Library, and PubMed databases. The results
indicate that individual personality traits that contribute towards criminality are (i) psychopathy;
(ii) low self-control; and (iii) difficult temperament. As an overall impact, the review is expected to
provide in-depth understanding of the link between individual personality traits and criminality;
hence, greater consideration will be given to the dimension of personality as a notable risk factor of
criminal behaviour. |
