Routledge will be doing a great service to the discipline of criminology, its students, and the larger social scientific enterprise by doing so." Chris Gibson, University of Florida"I am very enthusiastic to see this book published. It represents the cutting edge of theorizing and empirical research regarding the interaction between physiological and environmental perspectives. The research and concepts in this book will convince all criminologists that the biosocial perspective must be considered in all future theoretical developments regarding the explanation of criminal behavior.
