The Neurobiology of Criminal Behavior: Gene-Brain-Culture Interaction

By Anthony Walsh, Jonathan D. Bolen, Jonathan D Bolen, et al.

Book Overview

The main feature of this work is that it explores criminal behaviour from all aspects of Tinbergen's Four Questions. Rather than focusing on a single theoretical point of view, this book examines the neurobiology of crime from a biosocial perspective. It suggests that it is necessary to understand some genetics and neuroscience in order to appreciate and apply relevant concepts to criminological issues. Presenting up-to-date information on the circuitry of the brain, the authors explore and examine a variety of characteristics, traits and behavioural syndromes related to criminal behaviour.
