It's nature and nurture: Integrating biology and genetics into the social learning theory of criminal behavior

Author

Listed:
  • Fox, Bryanna

Abstract

Major advances in the fields of biology, genetics, neuroscience, and psychiatry have shown that many human behaviors are impacted by factors other than social influences. Still, the field of criminology has not incorporated these biological influences into any mainstream criminological theories, leaving a large divide between theories holding entirely sociological and entirely biological explanations of criminal behavior.
