True Crime

About this title

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.
