19th: Crime and Brain Injury
Recent research shows that the prison population has a much higher proportion of mild-to-severe brain injuries than is generally found in the UK. Studies have found that offenders with a history of brain injury (especially when this occurred in childhood) will have committed offences at an earlier age than offenders with no history of a brain injury, or would carry a higher probability of offending. This research, showing many other conclusions, will be presented by Professor Huw Williams (Associate Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology, University of Exeter) to set the scene. Read More...
