      ab: Part of a special issue on the impact of behavioral genetics on criminal law. Using a PBS television program, Genes on Trial: Genetics, Behavior, and the Law, as a framework, the writers examine the implications of behavioral genetics research for the individual, family, community, and society. They focus on the unique potential for behavioral genetics research, when situated in the context of criminal law, to stigmatize racial and ethnic minority groups by means of the blame-shifting mechanisms of genetic reductionism and genetic determinism.
