Multidisciplinary research on the genetic contributions to criminal and antisocial behavior for behavioral geneticists theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- Criminal and antisocial behaviour threaten cooperative social organization and each culture has developed methods to isolate and punish criminals. However criminal behaviour has not been eliminated in any culture and so it is rational to try to use scientific approaches to explain the origins and causes of criminal behaviour and to suggest ways of preventing crime or rehabilitating offenders. There has been extensive research on environmental causes of criminal behaviour: this book examines the evidence for genetic contributions. Twin and adoption studies suggest that there may be genetic contributions to some criminal behaviours. The data are examined in detail in this book which includes discussion of the methodological problems of disentangling genetic and environmental sources of variance in behaviour. In animals aggression is commonly an appropriate response to environmental stimuli: data from the relevant animal studies of the inheritance of aggressiveness are included in the book. There have been reports suggesting neuropharmacological abnormalities in violent offenders. These represent potential underlying mechanisms whereby genetic influences could be mediated. The recent evidence regarding brain and in particular neurotransmitter abnormalities is discussed. A heritable tendency to behave in a particular way would have significant implications for criminology particularly for rehabilitation strategies. Important issues also arise for moral philosophy. Separate chapters examine evolutionary and anthropological aspects of violence and warfare. The book is truly multidisciplinary and contains contributions from behavioural geneticists population geneticists evolutionary theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- with a bonus offer-- .

Examines the broader issues surrounding the debate such as causation and moral responsibility. For scholars philosophers and scientists. -- This volume brings together a group of essays by leading philosophers of science ethicists and legal scholars commissioned for an important and controversial conference on genetics and crime. The essays address basic conceptual methodological and ethical issues raised by genetic research on criminal behavior but largely ignored in the public debate. They explore the complexities in tracing any genetic influence on criminal violent or antisocial behavior the varieties of interpretation to which evidence of such influences is subject and the relevance of such influences to the moral and legal appraisal of criminal conduct. The volume provides a critical overview of the assumptions methods and findings of recent behavioral genetics. -- with a bonus offer-- . John Wiley & Son Ltd hardcover

trad. di Eva Filoramo cartone plastificato edit. ill.
ill., br. Il volume si basa su due serie di lezioni tenute al Collège de France. "Un'analisi esauriente dei dati di genetica umana raccolti negli ultimi cinquant'anni e dei nuovi dati ottenuti con tecniche messe a punto di recente ha permesso ai miei colleghi e a me di cartografare la distribuzione di centinaia di geni su scala mondiale. Da questa mappa abbiamo potuto dedurre le linee filogenetiche delle popolazioni del mondo. Il nostro albero genealogico concorda con un altro albero che comprende un numero minore di popolazioni, costruito a partire da dati genetici fondamentalmente diversi. Inoltre la nostra ricostruzione trova parallelismi sorprendenti in una recente classificazione delle lingue".(Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza)
brossura Districandosi tra passato e futuro, Matt Ridley ci conduce nei meandri dei sistemi biologici complessi, preoccupandosi fin dall'inizio di eliminare un equivoco diffuso: i geni non esistono per provocare malattie. La conoscenza del corredo che ereditiamo dai nostri antenati non è una condanna, ma sempre una possibilità. Ventidue capitoli più uno per raccontare l'autobiografia di una specie, la nostra, saltando da un cromosomo all'altro.
