About this book

Creating Born Criminals by Rafter, Nicole. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780252022371.

Genetic screening, new reproductive technologies, gene therapies, and the reality of cloning all make biological solutions to human social problems seem possible. Creating Born Criminals shows how history can guide us in our response to the reemergence of eugenics. The first social history of biological theories of crime in sixty years, it examines those theories origins and content, showing their undue influence on crime control in the United States.
