Biological Theories of Crime Causation

Biological theories of crime causation adhere to the principle that many behavioral predispositions, including aggression and criminality are constitutionally or physiologically influenced and inherited of the first basic principles of biological theories is the mind and locus of personality which is the organ brain. The brain is the organ of behavior. We have the basic determinants of human behavior passed on from generation to generation. Human behavior and traits are genetically based to a considerable degree. Gender and racial differences in rates and type of criminality may be at least partially resulting of biological differences between sexes and between racially distinct groups. Much of human conduct is fundamentally rooted in instinctive behavior responses. Bi-logical roots of human conduct have become increasing disguised. Some human behavior is the result of biological propensities inherited from more primitive developmental stages in the evolutionary process. There is the interplay of hereditary, biology and the social environment provides the consideration of crime. I think it will help understand the action better and who might have these specific biological traits but as for a full understanding of criminality it will not help because there is a lot more to consider then just biology alone. The types of crimes related to aggression , rape , murder more psychosocial related crimes would have to be my pick. If you are doing a study just further knowledge not every felon should get a scan but maybe a few from each group of felons that committed a specific crime because medically I don’t think you can help someone from committing a crime unless you drug them
