Beaver, Florida State University, USA and Anthony Walsh, Boise State University, USA The Library of Essays in Theoretical Criminology Biosocial criminology is an emerging perspective that highlights the interdependence between genetic and environmental factors in the study of the causes of antisocial behavior.

The articles covered examine the connection between genetics and crime, evolutionary psychology and crime, and neuroscience and crime.
