<i>‘Biosocial criminology represents the future of criminology in that it seeks to understand how we as bio-psycho-social beings interact with our environment (and vice versa). However, there are various subareas of biosocial criminology, such as evolutionary psychology and epigenetics, that makes it difficult for newcomers to understand the relationships between disciplines. This book introduces readers to all areas of biosocial criminology while encouraging readers to recognize how these concepts can be folded into current criminological theories and common criminological findings. Dr. Walsh’s command of the material helps readers understand the foundations of biosocial criminology while appreciating the nuances of the topic.’</i>

<i>‘With this book, Tony Walsh continues to chip-away at mainstream criminology's continued reluctance to incorporate biosocial accounts into explanations of criminal behaviour. By presenting an easy to read, easy to understand, eloquently written, book, he builds a solid argument for why it is important that criminology incorporates biosocial understanding. The book is essential reading both for those yet to discover “biosocial criminology” and for those with a basic understanding who wish to progress their thinking. In my opinion, </i>Understanding Biosocial Criminology<i> removes another brick from the wall of resistance put-up mainstream criminology.’</i>
