Answer:
• Biosocial criminology—understanding of biology and sociology
• Appropriate ways to deal with criminals will require a thorough understanding of biology and sociology
• Crime is not determined by biology but can make crime more or less probable.
• Both biology and environment are probabilistic in influencing behavior.
• When explaining crime with biological theories and policy implications are potential, researchers must identify what exactly is wrong with an individual's genes, body, or brain, and then come up with a way to fix or cure the problem.
• May not always be possible to fix or cure what is wrong
• Today's biological theories place factors in a social context and emphasize physical/biological factors may make it more or less likely that someone will act in particular ways.
