Crimcomics Issue 2: Biology and Criminality

CrimComics offers a new way to approach criminological theory by engaging students with impactful, highly visual illustrated texts. Each CrimComics Issue traces the development of the theory--placing it in social and political context--and demonstrates its application to the real world. The last page of each Issue features review questions and key terms.

Issue 2, Biology and Criminology, introduces students to how biology has been used to explain criminal behavior. Part I of this issue traces early biological theories of crime and Part II discusses current biosocial approaches used to understand criminality. Other issues include Issue 1: Origins of Criminology and Issue 3: Classical and Neoclassical Criminology.
