Abstract

In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the biopsychophysiological side of the criminal's nature in foreign criminology. The representatives of the biosocial trend are focused on advanced developments in the field of studying the biological side of aggressive human behavior. Serious progress has been made in this direction over the past thirty years, primarily due to the discoveries of cognitive neuroscientists, endocrinologists and molecular geneticists. In addition, specialists in the field of human physiology and nutrition have also made some progress in understanding the patterns of interaction of biological and social elements in the formation of the mechanism of aggression. Discoveries in the field of epigenetics can also give a significant impetus to the development of social sciences, which have fundamentally changed researchers' ideas about the role and relationship of the genetic base and the external environment in the mechanism of heredity. All relevant information on this subject is analyzed and summarized in a timely manner by foreign biosocial specialists, expanding, among other things, the criminological discourse in terms of studying the patterns of formation of the mechanism of criminal behavior, as well as individual crime prevention (primarily violent). This article is an attempt to review advanced research in the field of today's biology of human behavior, as well as those measures that are already being implemented (taking into account current scientific information about the socio-biological side of the criminal's nature) abroad in order to minimize the scale of criminal aggression.
