Biology and Genes – Part 1
Lecture Outline
Pg 93 & 94 give both sides of argument. Theories of continuity (group-based development
approach) and theories of continuity and change (individual based development approach).
Opening Statement
Rebuttal
Cross-Examine- make up potential questions in written response. Write out key arguments
(3pages) need to site book, or blackboard don’t need to cite lecture notes. Multiple stories start to
line up, not just one story that is applicable. Don’t overgeneralize, use statistics rather than
overgeneralizing on one story.
Closing statement
Biosocial Criminology
- Mix of biology and sociology
- Not preformationism
- Genes set us on a particular trajectory, but the environment can change that trajectory
- Importance of childhood experiences
3 Biological Approaches:
1. Genetic (most studied by criminologist)
2. Evolutionary
3. Neuroscience
Behavioral Genetics
- Heredity + environment (how much behavior is from something that you inherited versus the
environment that you grew up.

Document Summary
Pg 93 & 94 give both sides of argument. Theories of continuity (group-based development approach) and theories of continuity and change (individual based development approach). Cross-examine- make up potential questions in written response. Write out key arguments (3pages) need to site book, or blackboard don"t need to cite lecture notes. Multiple stories start to line up, not just one story that is applicable. Don"t overgeneralize, use statistics rather than overgeneralizing on one story. Genes set us on a particular trajectory, but the environment can change that trajectory. 3 biological approaches: genetic (most studied by criminologist, evolutionary, neuroscience. Heredity + environment (how much behavior is from something that you inherited versus the environment that you grew up. Dna v. physical, psychological, and behavioral characteristics of each of us. How do different genotypes affect variation in phenotypes? (criminal behavior. Look at identical twins in same environment versus fraternal twins in same environment better with parenting styles.
