In recent years, new areas of biology, especially epigenetics and
neuroscience, have enthralled the public imagination. They have
been used as powerful arguments for developing social policy in a
particular direction, from early intervention in the lives of
disadvantaged children to seeking 'biomarkers' as identifiers of
criminality. This timely book, written by leading commentators,
critically examines the capabilities and limitations of these
biotechnologies, exploring their implications for policy and
practice. The book will enable social scientists, policy makers,
practitioners and interested general readers to understand how the
new biologies of epigenetics and neuroscience have increasingly
influenced the fields of family policy, mental health, child
development and criminal justice. The book will facilitate much
needed debate about what makes a good society and how best to build
one. It also draws attention to the ways that the uncertainties of
the original science are lost in their translation into the
everyday world of practice and policy.
