Testosterone and Homicide (An African Perspective)
Author(s): Azza Kamal Alnourani, Dr. Abdelgadir Hussein Osman and Abdelgani Alsheikh
The enigma of the relationship between testosterone and violence remained of blurred boundaries, yet a challenging conundrum for forensic psychiatry and psychology.

Moreover, the relationship is even stronger between high testosterone blood level and individuals with recurrent aggressive intensions and who experienced recurrent criminal thoughts that are completely opposite with individuals who are possessed with peaceful attitudes, with P value of 0.002, 0.0001 and 0.000 consecutively.
