Ideal for use, either as a second text in a standard criminology course, or for a discrete course on biosocial perspectives, this book of original chapters breaks new and important ground for ways today's criminologists need to think more broadly about the crime problem.

Designed to bring criminology into the 21st century by showing how leading criminologists have integrated aspects of the biological sciences into their discipline, this book covers behaviour and molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience, and applies them to various correlates of crime.
