Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who score high in agreeableness are less likely to engage in criminal behavior as they are more cooperative, empathetic, and considerate of others' feelings and well-being. On the other hand, low agreeableness is associated with higher levels of aggression, hostility, and lower moral reasoning, which increases the likelihood of criminal behavior.
