Criminological–Islamic approach of the territory of biological factors to criminal behavior

Authors
Abstract
Crime, Victim and Offender have been focused by many criminologists as builders of criminology’s scientific triangle up to today. Meanwhile, the offender can be considered as the most important side of the triangle. There is no doubt that criminal biologists are leaders of the study of criminal characteristics. Biologists who have accepted the criminal type and believed that the offenders are different human beings from non-offenders, with a radical approach and following the theory of biological determinism, and those who have denied the existence of criminal chromosomes and concept of criminal algebra, and considered criminals as human beings with free will, but also with a tendency toward deviant behavior, inspired by sociobiology, With a balance-oriented approach.

Islam, although contains many verses and traditions which focus on the role of biological factors on human destiny, but always interpret the place of man between the realm of algebra and freedom in order to genetic optimization and achieve the ideal of "perfect man", and it never has seen the offender as a creature captured by his indispensable destiny.
