Social Class and Crime
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-81106-4 (ISBN)
A biosocial approach requires reducing sociology’s “master variable” to a lower level analysis to examine its constituent parts, which is resisted by many criminologists as highly controversial. However, this book makes plain that the more we know about the nature side of behavior the more important we find the nurture side to be. It makes clear how the class/crime relationship and criminology in general, can benefit from the biosocial perspective; a perspective that many criminological luminaries expect to be the dominant paradigm for the twenty first century.
Anthony Walsh received his Ph.D. in criminology from Bowling Green University, Ohio in 1983. He has field experience in both law enforcement and corrections, and teaches criminology, law, and statistics at Boise State University, Idaho. He is the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 26 books and over 100 journal articles. His primary interest is in the integration of the biological and social sciences in the development of a truly scientific criminology. Among his most recent books are: Biosocial Criminology: New Directions in Theory and Research (with Kevin Beaver); Biology and Criminology: The Biosocial Synthesis; and Research Methods in Criminal Justice (with Lee Ellis & Richard Hartley).
