Answer:Eysenck believed that people who are extroverts, psychoticism, or neuroticism are more prone to commiting criminal acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

An extrovert person is someone who is outgoing, sociable, dominant, and who possesses a high levels of energy. A person with a psychotic personality is antisocial and who is less emphatic to others. A person with a neurotic personality is shirt tempered and hasood swings and get irritated easily. Eysenck associated these personality with crime because people who possess such personalities are not easily trained and they find it hard to socialize , they are like a ticking bomb because they are quick to respond to any stimuli. They are likely to behave in a childish manner without an complete conscience .
