Aprašymas

Biopsychosocial Perspectives of Major Demographic Correlates of Crime examines the four major demographic variables related to criminal offending-age, sex, race, and SES from a biopsychosocial perspective.

These four variables are typically examined only from a sociological perspective that grants all causal power to social structure, social roles, and socialization and largely ignores the role of individual traits and characteristics. This book looks at these variables from a biopsychosocial perspective, which includes everything from neurons to neighborhoods and is a developmental nature via nurture approach. Thus, in addition to the "psycho" (cognitions, emotions, behaviors) and the "social" (culture, family, social roles), it includes the "bio." (evolutionary biology, physiology, molecular and behavioral genetics, and neuroscience). With insights from evolutionary biology, molecular and behavioral genetics, physiology and neuroscience, readers gain a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on these variables.

Biopsychosocial Perspectives of Major Demographic Correlates of Crime: Age, Sex, Race, and Social Class is an important new resource from a leader in the field that will be invaluable to scholars and professionals in biopsychosocial criminology, sociology, politics, and other social sciences.
