    SEMI FINAL EXAMINATION

    1. Discuss the Biological theory of Crime Causation?


    - Biological theory focuses on body type, genetic factors, studies of twins to distinguish
    between genetic and social factors, and the study of chromosome diversity. These
    letters suggest that crime is found in the family. Psychological theories also focus on the
    individual.

    2.What are the propositions of Cesare Lombroso in Criminal Anthropology?


    Discuss Briefly?
    Cesare Lombroso's anthropological theory of crime assumes that crime is inherent in
    nature. Lombroso in particular assumes that this is an atavistic type of criminal. In fact,
    Lombroso believed that crime was inherited and that criminals could be identified with a
    physical disability that made them more intelligent or cruel.
