'Confirmation Bias in Criminal Cases' takes a multi-disciplinary approach to assessing confirmation bias among criminal justice practitioners, combining criminal law, psychology, criminology, medicine, and anthropology. The book analyses case studies from international jurisdictions and utilizes a research-based approach to confirmation bias.

Enrico Ferri was a prominent figure in the early development of the field of criminology. The school of thought that he developed, which came to be known as positivism, sought to identify and address the social, economic and environmental factors that contributed to the emergence of criminal and antisocial behavior in some people. The three lectures in this volume bring together many of Ferri's most influential ideas and theories

Prior to the Rwandan genocide, the study of war propaganda had all but disappeared as a significant topic of interest for lawyers and social scientists. However, since the trials of war propagandists by international criminal tribunals, the study has been reignited. The reason is due to the manner in which legal actors discussed the effects of war propaganda and pronounced its criminality. They claimed that war propaganda constitutes incitement not only because it attempts to foment dangerously violent ideologies, but also because it actually causes mass violence. In defining war propaganda in this way, tribunals have shifted the crime of incitement from being inchoate to causal. This new precedent has led ethnographers to investigate the manner in which war propaganda has related to mass violence and to challenge the tribunal's purported causal link. Additionally, it has led legal researchers to generate novel theories about war propaganda that are conducive to the new precedent but would still benefit from the frameworks and methodologies of anthropology.

Psychological criminology addresses the question: what is it about individuals and their experiences that cause them to commit crime and/or to become criminal?This book provides a comprehensive coverage of psychological theories of crime and criminality, exploring theories focusing on factors present at birth (human nature, heredity); theories that focus on factors that influence the offender over the lifespan (learning, development); and theories focusing on factors present at the crime scene. It emphasizes the connections among the different approaches, and demonstrates how, taken together r

In this century, social factors have dominated theories of antisocial behaviour to the near-exclusion of other explanatory variables in the study of criminology. Criminologists are now coming to realise that fully understanding the causes of criminality requires consideration of both social and biological variables and that their models must take into account the interaction of the two. Reports of the relevant scientific work have previously been scattered through journals with varying disciplinary and geographical limitations. The book presents state-of-the-art investigation into the biological factors that produce criminal activity from authorities in nine countries who are on the forefront of research in behaviour genetics, neurophysiology, biochemistry, neuropsychology, psychophysiology, psychiatry and sociology. The Causes of Crime: New Biological Approaches offers the first comprehensive overview and integration of this new field of enquiry. It will be an invaluable resource for everyone concerned with the causes of criminal behaviour and interventions to reduce its frequency
