What are the strengths and weaknesses of trying to explain crime from a biological perspective?
What will be an ideal response?
Possible answer: A key strength of the biological perspective is providing some context to the intergenerational transference of crime problems. For example, studies of identical and fraternal twins have repeatedly shown some level of inheritance of problem and criminal behavior, even when adoptive parents raise a twin. However, the weakness of these theories (currently) is that a large amount of crime behavior remains unexplained: what about those that do not show differences in hormone levels, genes, or brain structure/function?
