Answer to Question 2

A latent trait is a personal attribute or characteristic that controls a person's inclination or propensity to commit crimes. It is a stable feature, characteristic, property, or condition, present at birth or soon after, that makes some people prone to commit crimes over the life course. A latent trait may be either present at birth or established early in life, and it can remain stable over time. Suspected latent traits include defective intelligence, damaged or impulsive personality, genetic abnormalities, the physicalchemical functioning of the brain, and environmental influences on brain function, such as drugs, chemicals, and injuries.
