The theories, technologies and findings of molecular biology, evolutionary developmental biology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, linguistics and anthropology can be productively combined to demonstrate that criminal behavior results when one of two things happens. A: The normally selfish person is not socialized effectively to cooperate with society through a combination of both positive and negative feedback, or B: The person’s brain is injured at some point in the life span, causing a defect in social processing. Through these disciplines, it will be shown that the base state of humans is self centered behavior. Evolutionary developmental biology will show that, as the person develops, most people learn over time that cooperation with society provides the maximal return on invested energy. In other words, cooperation is the selfish act that is most likely to enhance survival. Those who commit crimes as adults either did not receive the proper conditioning, or their brains have been damaged through head trauma. The age crime curve will be shown to be the result of increasing physical capacity, intersecting with declining propensity for rule breaking that had been occurring since age two. Anthropological studies will demonstrate that crime in adolescence is the result of an evolutionary advantage to a developmental pattern where young people have the capacity to break the rules in order to gain coveted resources and then move to a more conventional position of cooperation with others as they age. Neuroscience will demonstrate why criminal propensity is so hard to change, as the topobiology of the brain (per Gerald Edelman) changes slowly due to the limitations of neuroplasticity. The poor results of prediction efforts will be found to be the result of chaotic processing in the brain (per Walter Freeman), which leads to randomization of behavioral choices.

…completely confuse first year university students (who are interested in climbing the intellectual pillars of science but despite their best efforts find themselves recklessly absailing down these pillars with neither rope or harness because their ripped version of microsoft word doesn’t come with a dictionary and a spell-checker and their internet connection is on the blink precluding the unadulterated use of wikipedia and google scholar).
