The Psychopathology of Crime: Criminal Behavior as a Clinical Disorder (PDF/EPUB Version)
$18.99
Description
This book takes an uncompromising look at how we define psychopathology and makes the argument that criminal behavior can and perhaps should be considered a disorder. Presenting sociological, genetic, neurochemical, brain-imaging, and psychophysiological evidence, it discusses the basis for criminal behavior and suggests, contrary to popular belief, that such behavior may be more biologically determined than previously thought.
- Presents a new conceptual approach to understanding crime as a disorder
- Is the most extensive review of biological predispositions to criminal behavior to date
- Analyzes the familial and extra-familial causes of crime
- Reviews the predispositions to crime including evolution and genetics, and the neuropsychological, psychophysiological, brain-imaging, neurochemical, and cognitive factors
- Presents the practical implications of viewing crime as a psychopathology in the contexts of free will, punishment, treatment, and future biosocial research
