WALSH, Anthony. Biology and criminology: the biosocial synthesis. New York; London: Routledge, 2009
Signatura:343.9 Wal
En aquest llibre s'estudia de quina manera la biologia influeix el comportament criminal. La criminologia biosocial, tal com l'anomena l'autor, està donant nous aires a una disciplina massa constrenyida durant anys a rígides teories que han alentit el seu progrès cap a una veritable comprensió de la criminalitat. Anthony Walsh estudia la relació entre genètica i criminalitat, l'evolució de la psicologia i la neurologia pel que fa a la criminologia, l'estudi de la tradició en relació amb el conflicte, etc.

About the Book
Numerous criminologists have noted their dissatisfaction with the state of criminology. The need for a new paradigm for the 21st century is clear. However, many distrust biology as a factor in studies of criminal behavior, whether because of limited exposure or because the orientation of criminology in general has a propensity to see it as racist, classist, or at least illiberal. This innovative new book by noted criminologist Anthony Walsh dispels such fears, examining how information from the biological sciences strengthens criminology work and both complements and improves upon traditional theories of criminal behavior. With its reasoned case for biological science as a fundamental tool of the criminologist, Walsh's groundbreaking work will be required reading for all students and faculty within the field of criminology.
