Synopsis
This book profiles biological approaches to understanding why some people are criminals and others not. The book, written by internationally recognized behavioral geneticist David C. Rowe, offers instructors and students a brief, contemporary presentation of biological approaches to crime with a minimum of jargon. (A background in the biological sciences is not required.)
Boxes highlight special topics and examples drawn from newspaper stories to spark student interest.
Chapters cover:
Behavioral genetics
Evolutionary approaches to crime
Biological tests for criminal disposition
The human genome and crime
The environment and crime
Ethical and policy implications
This book will enrich students' appreciation of the nexus of biology and crime - without negating non-biological theories of crime.
