Basic instincts : how violence evolved -- Seeds of sin : the genetic basis to crime -- Murderous minds : how violent brains malfunction -- Cold-blooded killers : the autonomic nervous system -- Broken brains : the neuroanatomy of violence -- Natural-born killers : early health influences -- A recipe for violence : malnutrition, metals, and mental health -- The biosocial jigsaw puzzle : putting the pieces together -- Curing crime : biological interventions -- The brain on trial : legal implications -- The future : where will neurocriminology take us?
Introduces the latest biological research into the causes of--and potential cures for--criminal behavior. Also ponders implications for the justice system: should we condemn and punish individuals who have little to no control over their behavior? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals?
