Abstract

This article is a review of biological criminology theories which generates a considerable amount of skepticism and controversy among criminologists. Many early biological theories fall into the category of criminal anthropology: the scientific study of the relationship between human physical characteristics and criminality. Recently, Edward O. Wilson's paradigm of sociobiyology involves systematic study of the biological basis of social behavior and territoriality as determinants of behavior. It does appear that various biological factors are correlated with various measures of criminal behavior, although the influence of social factors has overshadowed the relationship. This article also highlights the crime prevention strategies and policies suggested by biological criminology.

Özet

Çalışma, kriminologlar tarafından oldukça tartışılan ve kuşkuyla yaklaşılan biyolojik temelli suçu açıklayan kuramlara ilişkin bilimsel çalışmaların literatür analizidir. Şiddet davranışı ve insanın fiziksel özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanan birçok erken biyolojik kuram, kriminal antropolojinin içinde yer almaktadır. Son dönemde ise, Edward O.Wilson'un sosyo-biyoloji olarak adlandırdığı yeni paradigma, sosyal davranışın biyolojik temellerini ve bölgesel farklılıklarını vurgulamaktadır. Birçok farklı biyolojik faktör, sosyal etmenlerin etkisinin göz ardı edilmesine karşın, suçlu davranışın farklı belirleyicileri ile ilişkilidir. Çalışmada ayrıca, biyolojik temelli kuramların suç önleme politikaları ve stratejileri de vurgulanmaktadır.
