In a work that would likely be seen by many as odiously racist, the author links his "biosocial" view of the determinants of behavior to explanations of correlations between race and crime in the United States. Arguing that African-Americans are disproportionately involved in every form of crime (including serial killing, white-collar crime, and organized crime, thereby contradicting widely accepted statistics), he first looks at the role of racism in having "bred a violent culture in the African American community" and then puts forward the argument that crime is the cause of poverty, rather than the other way around. He then presents "an ecology of the inner city" and describes the "evolutionary origins of behavioral differences among races." Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
