With A 4Page Fullcolor Insert, And Blackandwhite Illustrations Throughoutwhy Do Some Innocent Kids Grow Up To Become Coldblooded Serial Killers? Is Bad Biology Partly To Blame? For More Than Three Decades Adrian Raine Has Been Researching The Biological Roots Of Violence And Establishing Neurocriminology, A New Field That Applies Neuroscience Techniques To Investigate The Causes And Cures Of Crime. In The Anatomy Of Violence, Raine Dissects The Criminal Mind With A Fascinating, Readable, And Farreaching Scientific Journey Into The Body Of Evidence That Reveals The Brain To Be A Key Culprit In Crime Causation.Raine Documents From Genetic Research That The Seeds Of Sin Are Sown Early In Life, Giving Rise To Abnormal Physiological Functioning That Cultivates Crime. Drawing On Classical Case Studies Of Wellknown Killers In Historyincluding Richard Speck, Ted Kaczynski, And Henry Lee Lucasraine Illustrates How Impairments To Brain Areas Controlling Our Ability To Experience Fear, Make Good Decisions, And Feel Guilt Predispose Us To Violence. He Contends That Killers Can Actually Be Coldhearted: Something As Simple As A Low Resting Heart Rate Can Give Rise To Violence. But Arguing That Biology Is Not Destiny, He Also Sketches Out Provocative New Biosocial Treatment Approaches That Can Change The Brain And Prevent Violence.Finally, Raine Tackles The Thorny Legal And Ethical Dilemmas Posed By His Research, Visualizing A Futuristic Brave New World Where Our Increasing Ability To Identify Violent Offenders Early In Life Might Shape Crimeprevention Policies, For Good And Bad. Will We Sacrifice Our Notions Of Privacy And Civil Rights To Identify Children As Potential Killers In The Hopes Of Helping Both Offenders And Victims? How Should We Punish Individuals With Little To No Control Over Their Violent Behavior? And Should Parenting Require A License? The Anatomy Of Violence Offers A Revolutionary Appraisal Of Our Understanding Of Criminal Offending, While Also Raising Provocative Questions That Challenge Our Core Human Values Of Free Will, Responsibility, And Punishment.
