| Summary |
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. |
