Crime in Biological, Social, and Moral Contexts edited by Lee Ellis and Harry Hoffman

Abstract

Précis. The editors and contributors examine criminality from a biosocial perspective that conceptualizes criminal behavior as part of a continuum of pro/antisocial human responses that may have a common theoretical explanation. The book, divided into four major parts, includes chapters by contributors from the fields of psychiatry, sociology, psychology, criminal justice, genetics, and law.
