当代生物犯罪学自称为互动主义生物+社会术语，主张与过去的生物本质主义决裂。尽管如此，生物犯罪学是否已经经历了决定性的范式转变，拒绝生物罪犯和坏大脑的概念仍然不确定。不幸的是，关于生物犯罪学假设的讨论陷入了政治泥潭，掩盖了重要的科学问题。为了澄清误解，我从科学现实主义的角度来探讨生物犯罪学的本体认识论。利用犯罪作为一种社会建构的熟悉概念，我解释了生物犯罪学的本体认识论如何以及为什么与犯罪的社会现实不一致，这是出于科学而非意识形态的原因。我解释说，承认犯罪是一种社会建构，并不意味着犯罪不真实、不客观、不能科学地研究。相反，犯罪的不可还原的社会性质要求科学现实主义者拒绝“生物犯罪”的假设，以及生物犯罪学所依赖的生物还原论认识论。
Professing interactionist bio + social terminology, contemporary biocriminology asserts a break from its biologically essentialist past. Assurances notwithstanding, whether biocriminology has undergone a decisive paradigm shift rejecting notions of biological criminals and bad brains remains uncertain. Unfortunately, discussions of biocriminology’s assumptions are mired in politics, obscuring important scientific issues. Motivated to clarify misunderstanding, I address the ontoepistemology of biocriminology from a scientific realist perspective. Drawing on familiar notions of crime as a social construction, I explain how and why biocriminology’s ontoepistemology is inconsistent with the social reality of crime for scientific not ideological reasons. I explain that recognizing crime is a social construction does not imply that crime is not real or objective and cannot be studied scientifically. On the contrary, the irreducibly social nature of crime requires that scientific realists reject assumptions of ‘biological crime’ as well as the biologically reductionist epistemology on which biocriminology depends.
