One argued consequence of this is that males are more aggressive, and more violently aggressive, than females, since they face higher reproductive competition from their own sex than females. In particular, low-status males may be more likely to remain completely childless. Under such circumstances, it may have been evolutionarily useful to take very high risks and use violent aggression in order to try to increase status and reproductive success rather than become genetically extinct. This may explain why males have higher crime rates than females and why low status and being unmarried is associated with criminality. It may also explain why the degree of income inequality of a society is a better predictor than the absolute income level of the society for male-male homicides; income inequality creates social disparity, while differing average income levels may not do so. Furthermore, competition over females is argued to have been particularly intensive in late adolescence and young adulthood, which is theorized to explain why crime rates are particularly high during this period.<sup id="cite_ref-AEP_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AEP-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The "<a href="/wiki/Evolutionary_neuroandrogenic_theory" title="Evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory">evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory</a>" focuses on the hormone <a href="/wiki/Testosterone" title="Testosterone">testosterone</a> as a factor influencing aggression and criminality and being beneficial during certain forms of competition.<sup id="cite_ref-psychology-criminalbehavior-law.com_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-psychology-criminalbehavior-law.com-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In most species, males are more aggressive than females.

Research on the relationship between testosterone and aggression is difficult since the only reliable measurement of brain testosterone is by <a href="/wiki/Lumbar_puncture" title="Lumbar puncture">lumbar puncture</a>, which is not done for research purposes. Studies therefore have often instead used less reliable measurements from blood or saliva. Some studies support a link between adult criminality and testosterone, although the relationship is modest if examined separately for each sex. A significant link between juvenile delinquency and testosterone levels has not been established. Some studies have also found testosterone to be associated with behaviors or personality traits linked with criminality such as <a href="/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder" title="Antisocial personality disorder">antisocial behavior</a> and alcoholism. Many studies have also been done on the relationship between more general aggressive behavior/feelings and testosterone.

Therefore, it was important to have a reputation for retaliation, causing humans to develop instincts for <a href="/wiki/Revenge" title="Revenge">revenge</a> as well as for protecting reputation ("honor"). Pinker argues that the development of the state and the police have dramatically reduced the level of violence compared to the ancestral environment. Whenever the state breaks down, which can be very locally such as in poor areas of a city, humans again organize in groups for protection and aggression and concepts such as violent revenge and protecting honor again become extremely important. </p><p>Some cultures place greater emphasis on protecting honor than other cultures. One explanation is that protecting honor was in the ancestral past relatively more important for herders than for farmers. The livestock of herders were easily and quickly stolen. As a result, it was important to constantly show toughness as a deterrence, which may cause a higher level of violence. The predictions of the theory was confirmed in a cross-cultural examination of traditional farming and herding Spanish-American societies.

As such humans are argued to have developed a range of psychological mechanisms for handling this. Punishment can be a deterrent to undesired behaviors but excessive punishment can also be harmful to the group. Thus, humans are argued to favor a proportional response based on how severe the offence is. Cross-cultural research have a found a high agreement regarding how relatively harmful different crimes are perceived to be. On the other hand, evolutionary novel factors that may be rational to consider from a deterrent perspective, such as how difficult it is for the modern police to detect the crime, do not seem to affect people's perceptions of appropriate punishments.<sup id="cite_ref-AEP2_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AEP2-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Once a crime's severity has been judged, there is a choice regarding how to respond.

could personally benefit from continued interactions with the offender such as kinship, in-group or out-group membership, possession of resources, sexual attractiveness, expressed remorse,
