Summary:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among one of the most thoroughly studied disorders in psychological and neurological fields that examine psychopathology, along with being one of the most common as well. It is known to have symptomatic features that may have a relationship, in some way, to outcomes that are linked to criminal behaviors. However, due to the disorder’s various facets, comorbidities, and unique environmental interactions, this relationship between ADHD and criminality is a rather complex and psychologically difficult one to ascertain. A number of peer-reviewed studied were analyzed and integrated in this literary review in order to explore this relationship, and the overall consensus that has been found here emphasizes a more indirect relationship between ADHD and criminality, with external factors mediating the eventual participation in non-violent and violent forms of crime in tandem with ADHD.
