No, I wouldn't suggest locking people up just on the basis of DNA.
However, if you have a really violent offender, you should be able to test DNA (IMO)
And if they have the extra Y bit, personally, I would say that they are probably beyond help, they are unlikely to be rehabilitated. That should be taken into account with sentencing- a longer sentence, no bail etc
Sherri - That hypothesis existed in the 1960's, but was disproven by numerous studies in the late '60's and early '70's. The only thing that genetic researchers could come up with is that XYY Syndrome produced taller men.....not psychopathic mass murderers. In fact, just the opposite.
This Article is probably the best one to read. There are others from John Hopkins and The American Medical Journal of Genetics, Harvard, Oxford.....etc., but you (and I) would need to refer to a dictionary every 30 or so seconds to figure out WTH they are saying.
Anyhow, and to make a long post more boring,.........it's not true. This type of analysis is similar with Hitler's theories on genetical purity. I.E. white, blond males are the superior race in the world. If that's the case..............why did Hitler have Black Hair?
Oh, and I don't mean to disprove my discussions here, but I am white, have blond (or did have 15 years ago) hair and blue eyes (still got those)...............Schazaaam. Or would that be Ta Da.
