Fascinating … Has profound implications … It is remarkable that most of the work Raine outlines remains largely unknown to the wider public … It is high time this defect was remedied – David Rose * Mail on Sunday *This remarkable book offers startling evidence of the links between our biology and criminality … powerful and well-written … I commend his intelllectual courage – Jenni Russell * Sunday Times *Raine’s book is a masterpiece. He has the research at his fingertips - not surprising, since he carried out much of it - and makes a compelling case that society needs to grapple with the biological underpinnings of violent crime – Bob Holmes * New Scientist *Adrian Raine has devoted his career to uncovering the causes of human violence … This important book is a most valuable contribution – Daniel Dennett * Prospect *
