The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime [Unabridged] [Audible Audio Edition]
Author: - ISBN: B00B3Y19I4 - Language: English - Format: PDF, EPUB
DESCRIPTION
Provocative and timely: A pioneering neurocriminologist introduces the latest biological research into the causes of - and potential cures for - criminal behavior.
A leading criminologist who specializes in the neuroscience behind criminal behavior, Adrian Raine introduces a wide range of new scientific research into the origins and nature of violence and criminal behavior. He explains how impairments to areas of the brain that control our ability to experience fear, make decisions, and feel empathy can make us more likely to engage in criminal behavior. He applies this new understanding of the criminal mind to some of the most well-known criminals in history. And he clearly delineates the pressing considerations this research demands: What are its implications for our criminal justice system? Should we condemn and punish individuals who have little no control over their behavior? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals? These are among the thorny issues we can no longer ignore as our understanding of criminal behavior grows.

The Anatomy of Violence presents the latest innovation in the field of psychology and human behavior, that is the use of neuroscience. As I tell my students, when I was an undergraduate I heard some professors remark on how it would be of interest to know the workings of the brain so as to better understand behavior. However, at the time these were only suppositions since science had not developed the actual machinery to view more closely the brain and the neurological system. In the last 30 some years, though, we now have techniques such as the MRI and fMRI and various neurotransmitter studies to allow for improved understanding of the connection between our biology and behavior. The science of neuropsychology seems destined to revolutionize the field of psychology/psychiatry and it is a welcomed progress.
The author, Adrian Raine, is a well published professor at Penn University in criminology and psychology. His latest book, while helpful to the professional, is designed to present to the layperson the latest findings in the biology of crime. Most chapters begin with a true story of murderers, or rapists, etc., but whose behavior is often bizarre enough to both disgust and make one curious as to what was causing their criminal behavior. He proceeds in each chapter to dissect the criminal's behavior and place it in context of his biological process and the resulting crime.
Raine is at his writing best and most informative when he stays to the clinical task of helping the reader understand the neurological system. His explanations are clear and he treats his readers with respect on a difficult subject for many of us.
Raine, unfortunately is not content on holding to neuroscience.
