This book is rooted in the conviction that human biology plays a
critical role in understanding drug abuse and antisocial behavior.
In the same breath, however, it fundamentally affirms the
importance of the many social and environmental factors that
influence our behavior across the life course. The study begins
with an overview of the scope of the problem of drug abuse and
crime, and an examination of how these problems often feed into one
another. Building upon that foundation, the focus shifts to a
review of cutting-edge research on the genetics and neurobiology of
addiction and antisocial behavior across the developmental periods
of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. An exploration of the
implications of a biosocial life course approach in terms of drug
abuse prevention, and an examination of what lies ahead for drug
abuse and criminological research conclude this detailed and timely
book. Policy makers, practitioners and scholars of criminology and
sociology will find this of particular interest.
