The correct answer is false.

It is false that Sociologist believes biology plays the biggest predictor in criminal behavior.

Yes, biology can be one of the factors predicting criminal behavior but is not the biggest one. Indeed there are four contemporary theories that Sociologists use to explain criminal behavior: a Sociological perspective, a Biological perspective, Psychological perspective, and Social-Psychological perspective. In the case of the Biological approach, Sociologists consider that genetic influence and biochemical abnormalities, and mental illness as possible factors, buy many of the Sociologists favors the idea that these factors combine with environmental factors to influence criminal behavior.
