Question by Truth:

Do you agree with conclusions of researchers who link tattoos to personality disorders and criminal behavior?

Do you agree that tattoos are indicative of criminal behavior?
Investigations by law enforcement officials also came to the conclusion that:
"the presence of ornamental body tattoos could serve to indicate the existence of personality disorders which are liable to manifest themselves in criminal behaviour".
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 117)
“Criminals, drug addicts, sex perverts and social outlaws are the overwhelming majority of the tattooed. Statistics, both old and recent, clearly reveal tattoos are largely worn by the rebellious and deviant.
"In addition to being a form of self-destruction, the tattoo seals the wearer off from the rest of normal society forever. It’s not all that surprising to note that the largest number of tattooed in Japan belong to the underworld, and in America tattoos are most prevalent either in jail or hard rock bands."
(Danny Sugerman, Appetite for Destruction: the Days of Guns N’ Roses, p. 40)
"It was ancient Japanese tradition to tattoo convicted criminals. . . "
(Laura Reybold, Everything you need to know about the dangers of tattooing and body percing, p. 15)
"A study of young offenders on the West Coast of America concluded that delinquents tattoo themselves significantly more often than non-delinquents, and that the inclination develops at an early age without any thought for the future."
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 113)
"In the Borstal institutions [criminals] it has been estimated that the incidence of tattooing can be as high as 75 per cent."
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 113)
Comprehensive studies performed in Denmark, revealed the following enlightening statistics concerning tattoos:
• 42% of homes for short-term detentioned were tattooed
• 60% of homes for young men with behavior difficulties
• 72% of prisons for young men
• 52% of prisons population
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 114)
"The same Denmark studies also disclosed less than 4.8 in the general population were tattooed."
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 114)
Investigations by law enforcement officials also came to the conclusion that:
"the presence of ornamental body tattoos could serve to indicate the existence of personality disorders which are liable to manifest themselves in criminal behaviour".
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 117)
"Therefore, many authorities link tattooing with aggression, i.e. anti-authoritarianism, and it cannot be disputed that gangs and delinquents, juvenile or otherwise, display massive evidence of aggression".
(Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 114)
