A tremendous amount of knowledge has been acquired from evolutionary psychological research. To date, however, findings from this line of research have not been used in a widespread and systematic way to guide and inform policy. The current article outlines some ways in which evolutionary psychology could be applied to policies aimed at reducing criminal and violent behaviors. We conclude by briefly noting some obstacles in translating evolutionary psychological research into policy and offering some suggestions for overcoming these impediments.
