R. Guy THE POTENTIAL OF BIOSOCIAL CRIMINOLOGY
THE POTENTIAL OF BIOSOCIAL CRIMINOLOGY
Keywords:
genetics, biosocial criminology, crime preventionAbstract
Biosocial criminology is one of the fastest growing lines of research within the field of criminology. Much of the findings suggest that genetic risks are involved in anti-social behavior including criminal behavior with the environment and genes working in a synergistic manner. These findings have tremendous potential for crime prevention. According to researchers in the field, the continued accumulation of biosocial criminological data, and the development of biosocial theories is imperative to the advancement of this perspective. In spite of the promising advances in biosocial research there is considerable opposition to this line of research in the United States.
