Recenzii
A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012 'This book presents extremely interesting and valuable information about the importance of neurobiology in the understanding of criminal behavior. It throws new light on many important issues such as the age-crime curve, gender differences in crime, low intelligence and crime, violence, psychopathy, hyperactivity, and the effects of substance abuse. It should be essential reading for all criminologists.' David P. Farrington, University of Cambridge, UK 'For biosocial criminologists, a small but growing group, this book will be a handy resource on very familiar material. For criminologists who are brand new to a neurobiological approach to understanding crime, the book is a fun, handy and relevant overview of material that will get even the most novice of readers up to speed. For the lay person who simply enjoys learning about criminal behavior, The Neurobiology of Criminal Behavior is a great place to start. I strongly recommend this book.'

Descriere
The main feature of this work is that it explores criminal behaviour from all aspects of Tinbergen's Four Questions. Rather than focusing on a single theoretical point of view, this book examines the neurobiology of crime from a biosocial perspective. It suggests that it is necessary to understand some genetics and neuroscience in order to appreciate and apply relevant concepts to criminological issues. Presenting up-to-date information on the circuitry of the brain, the authors explore and examine a variety of characteristics, traits and behavioural syndromes related to criminal behaviour.
