Evolution and the Prevention of Violent Crime (Report‪)‬

Introduction Criminology generally is justly criticized for its theoretic insularity, and in particular its general hostility towards or neglect of approaches other than that of sociological determinism (Pease, 2010; Roach and Pease, in press). Its journals tend to be titled according to geography or methodological focus (e.g. European Journal of Criminology, Journal of Quantitative Criminology). There are few cross-discipline titles characteristic of faster-advancing disciplines, and cited references tend to be older and more often book based than one finds in livelier branches of scholarship. When one of the present authors told a distinguished professor of mainstream criminology that he was co-writing the present paper, the reply was a derisive "You're better than that".
