Résumé
La mesure du chromosome Y a été effectuée chez 50 malades mentaux délinquants et chez 50 sujets normaux non-délinquants. La distribution est normale dans les 2 populations et il n'y a pas de différence significative entre les rapports moyens Y/F, Yf/Y et le nombre de bandes fluorescentes d'Yf. Pour les malades mentaux délinquants il n'existe aucune corrélation valable entre la taille de l'Y et le diagnostic psychiatrique ou le type de criminalité.
Summary
The length of they chromosome has been measured for 50 male criminals in a psychiatric security hospital and for 50 non criminal control men. The distribution was normal for the 2 populations and there was no significant difference between the mean Y/F, Yf/Y values and the number of brightly fluorescent segments. For criminal psychopaths, there was no close correlation between the size of the Y chromosome and the psychiatric or criminal background.
