What do modern sociologists believe is the reason for the association between mesomorphy and criminality?

What will be an ideal response?


According to Sheldon’s results, he believed that meosmorphs were more prone to criminality because of their dispositions toward risk-taking behavior and aggressive personalities. The associations between mesomorphy and criminality are still being replicated by scientists and the link is undisputed. However, sociologists still take issue with the association believeing that societal expectations are what actually influences it. For example, a young male with athletic build would be encouraged to join sports teams and engage in high-risk behaviors by peers. Gangs would also desire more athletic members because of their potential to fight or perform acts that require more strength and stamina.
