Born to Crime

?The present work reviews some of the recent evidence supporting the proposition that genetic or biochemical factors critically influence crime-related behavior. In the introductory chapters, Taylor disassociates present biogenic research from discredited, earlier approaches ... and outlines a sociobiological understanding of evolution. Individual chapters then consider the apparent roots of various kinds of deviant behavior....In the final chapters, Taylor discusses some admittedly controversial implications of a biogenic perspective for criminal justice policy.... The book is written in a clear, very accessible style.?-Choice
