evolutionary perspectives on crime  

Definition(s)

  • Although evolutionary theory was developed by biologists, social scientists since the last quarter of the twentieth century have been applying its principles to the study of human culture (anthropology) and the human mind (psychology). This fusion has been called sociobiology (Wilson 1975). [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Evolutionary Perspectives on Crime]
