This paper discusses the rationality of crime biology and analyzes the effectiveness of physiognomy in criminal investigation. Crime biology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between crime and biology, and its rationality involves the integration of multiple disciplines such as genetics, neuroscience, and behavior. In this context, we assess the potential value of crime biology in crime prevention, offender identification, and criminal justice. First, we explore the role of criminal biology in understanding criminal behavior. Through genetic research, the biology of crime can reveal the influence of genetic factors on the tendency of crime, and provide the basis for accurate crime prevention. At the same time, the development of neuroscience has led to a deeper understanding of the relationship between brain structure and criminal behavior, providing new perspectives for the management and prevention of crime. Secondly, this paper analyzes the effectiveness of physiognomy in criminal investigation. Although physiognomy has been widely used in history, its science has always been questioned. By reviewing relevant studies and cases, we evaluate the practical application value of physiognomy in criminal justice. We emphasize that the application of physiognomy in court must be scientifically verified and should not be based on subjective speculation. Finally, the future application of criminal biology and physiognomy in the field of law and criminal justice is prospected. The importance of interdisciplinary research is emphasized for a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of crime. We call for the scientific method and ethical principles to be followed when applying biological and related science to criminal justice to ensure the fairness and accuracy of judicial decision-making. By exploring crime biology and physiognomy in depth, this paper aims to promote rational thinking in these fields and provide guidance for future research and practice.
