Sommario/riassunto

It is Costello's aim to bring a 'unifying vision and theoretical integration' to the array of perspectives and theories in the field of criminality, and examines the contributions of both orthodox and evolutionary psychiatry, and explores the role of family experience in shaping the 'pale criminal'.
