In this century, social factors have dominated theories of
antisocial behaviour to the near-exclusion of other explanatory
variables in the study of criminology. Criminologists are now
coming to realise that fully understanding the causes of
criminality requires consideration of both social and biological
variables and that their models must take into account the
interaction of the two. Reports of the relevant scientific work
have previously been scattered through journals with varying
disciplinary and geographical limitations. The book presents
state-of-the-art investigation into the biological factors that
produce criminal activity from authorities in nine countries who
are on the forefront of research in behaviour genetics,
neurophysiology, biochemistry, neuropsychology, psychophysiology,
psychiatry and sociology. The Causes of Crime: New Biological
Approaches offers the first comprehensive overview and integration
of this new field of enquiry. It will be an invaluable resource for
everyone concerned with the causes of criminal behaviour and
interventions to reduce its frequency.
