Question:

A weakness of genetic and neural explanation?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Criminality is complex and biological explanations can inappropriate or overly simplistic. -Correlation-causation issue with the neural correlates explanation: did APD cause the biological deficit or vice versa? -Don’t know that criminality has a biological cause. Overly reductionist approach – ignores higher level factors. -Unlikely to be a ‘gene’ that causes criminality but can cause attitude changes and responses to social norms. Too reductionsit in their approach.
