Philosophical assumptions play a crucial role in criminology, particularly in addressing the dichotomy between free will and determinism. This work delves into how these concepts influence various criminological theories, including emerging perspectives from genetics and biosocial criminology. By focusing on the philosophical foundations rather than merely summarizing existing theories, it encourages students and scholars to examine their own biases and deepen their understanding of crime and justice implications. This unique approach fosters critical thinking and a more nuanced analysis of criminological issues.
