- This single-authored monograph represents a significant body of sustained research between 2006-2014. The book proposes an original and innovative anti-reductionist, post-postmodern, genetic-social meta-theoretical framework for the analysis of crime and criminal behaviour. The book draws upon evidence from evolutionary psychology, neuroscience and behavioural genetics to provide an original account of the mutuality between genes, neurons and the environment, providing a new direction for criminological theorising and critical insights.
