Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Psychopathy is a clinical construct associated with emotional and behavioural disturbance, which are considered important risk factors for criminal and antisocial behaviour, criminal recidivism, sexual recidivism, and instrumental violence [7, 8, 9, 10].

Detailed explanation-2: -People with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four temperament theory is a proto-psychological theory which suggests that there are four fundamental personality types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic.

Detailed explanation-4: -This means that people with high levels of extraversion have a low level of arousal, meaning they require more environmental stimulation to fuel their excitement. In the context of forensic psychology, this environmental stimulation may include criminal behaviour.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the core of Eysenck’s theory is the role played by three personality traits: (1) extraversion-introversion, (2) neuroticism, and (3) psychoticism. The bulk of research into the validity of Eysenck’s arguments concerns the measurement of these traits in criminal and noncriminal populations.
