6 best criminology books

Criminology is a field that primarily falls within the realm of social sciences, and it is not directly related to biology or biological sciences. However, there are certain aspects of criminology where biological factors can be considered, such as the study of the biological basis of criminal behavior or the interaction between genetics and criminality. Here are some books related to criminology that touch on biological aspects:

  1. "The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime" by Adrian Raine: This book explores the biological and neurological factors that may contribute to criminal behavior.It discusses brain imaging studies, genetics, and other biological aspects of criminality.

  2. "The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry" by Jon Ronson: While not solely focused on biology, this book delves into the psychopathic mind and touches on the question of whether there are biological markers for psychopathy.

  3. "The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease" by Marc Lewis: This book examines addiction from a biological and psychological perspective, shedding light on the relationship between addiction and criminal behavior.

  4. "Inside the Criminal Mind" by Stanton Samenow: While not primarily a biological perspective, this book delves into the psychological and behavioral aspects of criminals, which can include discussions of how biology may influence criminal tendencies.

  5. "Bad Boys, Bad Men: Confronting Antisocial Personality Disorder" by Donald W. Black: This book explores antisocial personality disorder, a condition that is often associated with criminal behavior, and discusses its potential biological underpinnings.

Please note that while these books touch on the biological aspects of criminal behavior, criminology is a multidisciplinary field that also considers sociological, psychological, and environmental factors. These books provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of criminal behavior.
