Biological Determinism vs. Environmental Influence

Dive deep into the complex world of criminological theories with our analytical exploration that contrasts the biological determinism perspective with environmental influences on criminal behavior. This detailed examination uncovers the nuances of Houghton's and Goring's theories, providing insight into the longstanding debate on whether criminal traits are inherited or shaped by societal conditions. We critically assess the arguments supporting the notion of 'born criminals' and scrutinize the idea that physical attributes can be linked to criminal tendencies. Our guide also contemplates the significance of environmental factors and the role they play in fostering criminal behavior. This comprehensive analysis is essential for students, academics, and professionals in the field of criminology who seek to understand the multifaceted nature of criminality.
