Biosocial Criminology by Anthony Walsh

Ideal for use, either as a second text in a standard criminology course, or for a discrete course on biosocial perspectives, this book of original chapters breaks new and important ground for ways today's criminologists need to think more broadly about the crime problem.

"I am very excited and enthusiastic to see this manuscript about to be publishedRoutledge will be doing a great service to the discipline of criminology, its students, and the larger social scientific enterprise by doing so." Chris Gibson, University of Florida

"I am very enthusiastic to see this book published. It represents the cutting edge of theorizing and empirical research regarding the interaction between physiological and environmental perspectives. The research and concepts in this book will convince all criminologists that the biosocial perspective must be considered in all future theoretical developments regarding the explanation of criminal behavior. " Stephen G. Tibbetts, California State University, San Bernardino
