For example, David Caruso's film debut was Without Warning (1980),
a carefree trip into the woods thwarted by killer flying alien
discs. Lurking in these so-bad-they're-good-films, you'll find
other familiar actors like David Carradine, James Brolin, , Martin
Landau, and Ryan Gosling in films like Death Race 2,000 (1975), The
Car (1977), The Being (1983), and Lost River (2014). The zombie
sushi, by the way, is from Dead Sushi (2012).
Biosocial criminology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to
explain crime and antisocial behavior by exploring both biological
factors and environmental factors. Since the mapping of the human
genome, scientists have been able to study the biosocial causes of
human behaviour with the greatest specificity. After decades of
almost exclusive sociological focus, criminology has undergone a
paradigm shift where the field is more interdisciplinary and this
book combines perspectives from criminology and sociology with
contributions from fields such as genetics, neuropsychology, and
evolutionary psychology. The Routledge International Handbook of
Biosocial Criminology is the largest and most comprehensive work of
its kind, and is organized into five sections that collectively
span the terrain of biosocial research on antisocial behavior.
Bringing together leading experts from around the world, this book
considers the criminological, genetic and neuropsychological
foundations of offending, as well as the legal and criminal justice
applications of biosocial criminological theory, and will be
essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners from
across the social, behavioural, and natural sciences who are
engaged in the study of antisocial behaviour.

Biosocial criminologists seek to explain crime (and related
anti-social behaviour) by exploring both biological and
environmental factors. Combining perspectives from mainstream
Criminology and Sociology, with contributions from those working in
disciplines such as Genetics, Neuropsychology, and Evolutionary
Psychology, Biosocial Criminology is now a well-established-if
heterogeneous and contentious-field of study. As Biosocial
Criminology continues to develop, this new title from Routledge,
edited by two distinguished scholars, meets the need for an
authoritative, one-stop reference work to make sense of the wide
range of approaches, theories, and concepts that have contributed
to its growth. In four volumes, the collection assembles the best
and most influential empirical, theoretical, and political
contributions made by biosocial criminologists from around the
world. The gathered works cover not only the history of Biosocial
Criminology and cutting-edge theories, but also explore a variety
of research methods used by leading scholars and the rich data
generated by their rigorous empirical work. With a full index,
together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the
editors, which places the collected material in its historical and
intellectual context, Biosocial Criminology is an essential work of
reference. The collection will be particularly useful as a database
allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily
located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting
rapid access to less familiar-and sometimes overlooked-texts. For
researchers, students, and policy-makers, it is an essential
one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
