Abstract
There are three broad biosocial approaches to the study of criminal behavior: genetic, evolutionary, and neurobiological. While they employ different theories and methods and work with different levels of analysis, their principles are conceptually consistent across all three levels. Differential K Theory, while controversial, provides an evolutionary backdrop in discussing the DAT1 polymorphism, dopamine, and violent behavior. As biosocial sciences enter the third wave, epigenetics, they will continue to provide valuable insight and promote further understanding of the phenomena of criminality.
