This book is rooted in the conviction that human biology plays a critical role in understanding drug abuse and antisocial behavior. In the same breath, however, it fundamentally affirms the importance of the many social and environmental factors that influence our behavior across the life course. The study begins with an overview of the scope of the problem of drug abuse and crime, and an examination of how these problems often feed into one another. Building upon that foundation, the focus shifts to a review of cutting-edge research on the genetics and neurobiology of addiction and antisocial behavior  across the developmental periods of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. An exploration of the implications of a biosocial life course approach in terms of drug abuse prevention, and an examination of what lies ahead for drug abuse and criminological research conclude this detailed and timely book. Policy makers, practitioners and scholars of criminology and sociology will find this of particular interest.

Christopher Salas-Wright is Assistant Professor in the Boston University School of Social Work, USA. He serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Youth and Adolescence and Journal of Criminal Justice.

Michael Vaughn is Professor and Director of the Interdisciplinary PhD program in the School of Social Work, College for Public Health and Social Justice at Saint Louis University, USA. He is an internationally recognized scholar in the areas of drug abuse and crime.

Jennifer Reingle Gonzalez is Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Dallas, USA. She has authored a leading textbook on research methods in criminology and criminal justice.
