***
A MIKE'S COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT PICK!

    This is quite simply the most comprehensive book I have found on the theoretical origins of criminal behaviour.  All of the major theories behind deviant behaviour are investigated including: Evolutionary-Sociobiological Theories, Genetics, Neurochemistry, Neuropsychology, Neurophysiology, Psychophysiology, Cognitive Deficits, Familial and Extrafamilial  Influence, and several other smaller theories.  If you wish to understand simply how criminals are made there is absolutely no better book! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
