The Nurture Versus Biosocial Debate in Criminology

This book facilitates an open and honest debate about criminal behaviour between the more traditional criminologists who focus primarily on environmental factors and contemporary biosocial criminologists who examine the interplay between biology/genetics and environmental factors. It provides a contemporary approach by bringing to the table a new debate: the nurture vs. biosocial debate. "The greatest single strength is the uniqueness of topic and approach. Other strengths are the selected topics and structure." -- Scott Vollum "This text might lead to an intellectual movement in the community of criminology, stimulate criminologists to revise current criminological theories, and help criminologists formulate new criminological theories." -- Hua-Lun Huang
