EXPLICAȚIILE BIOLOGICE ASUPRA COMPORTAMENTULUI CRIMINAL
BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS ON CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

Summary/Abstract: The literature on the biological explanations for antisocial and criminal behavior is growing considerably. This scientific article will provide a selective analysis of three specific biological factors: psychophysiological (outlining heart rate and skin conductance), brain mechanisms (focusing on aberrations in structure and function of the prefrontal cortex, amygdala and striatum) and genetic factor (highlighting the gender-environment and gene-gene interaction). Therefore, the knowledge and correct perception of the role of biology in antisocial and criminal behavior can contribute to the development of the explanatory power of current research and theories, as well as to inform the authorities in the field and the various treatment options.
