CRMJ 473 - Biology and Crime

Institution:

The Citadel

Subject:

Criminal Justice

Description:

The nature versus nurture debate has affected those who write about crime and its causes since the mid-19th century. Crime is defined as deviant behavior, and social scientists have alternately sought to identify the causes of individual criminality in biological or sociological factors. This course considers the relative contributions of biological and sociological factors to individual criminality in light of the findings of twins studies, adoption studies and other scholarship through the 21st century.
