| Sumario: | "In this volume, a group of philosophers address basic conceptual, methodological, and ethical issues raised by genetic research on criminal behavior. Their contributions fill a large gap between popular accounts of "crime genes" and technical discussions of heritability, linkage, and genetic variation. They explain the scientific debate about behavioral genetics in lucid but precise terms, and place it in the context of broader issues about causation, moral responsibility, and political justice. The book will be of value to philosophers, legal scholars, scientists, and policy makers interested in the potential of genetic research to predict, understand, and modify human behavior, and to educated laymen curious or perplexed about the recent controversies surrounding behavioral genetics."--Jacket. |
