Answers to many legal questions often depend on our understanding
of the relationship between the human brain and behavior. While
there is no evidence to suggest that violence is the sole result of
cognitive impairment, research does suggest that frontal lobe
impairment in particular may contribute to the etiology of violent
behavior. Murder in the Courtroom presents a comprehensive and
detailed analysis of issues most relevant to answering questions
regarding the link between cognitive functioning and violence. It
is the first book to focus exclusively on the etiology and
assessment of cognitive impairment in the context of violent
behavior and the challenges courts face in determining the
reliability of neuroscience evidence; provide objective discussions
of currently available neuropsychological tests and neuroimaging
techniques, and their strengths and limitations; provide a
methodology for the assessment of cognitive dysfunction in the
context of violent behavior that is likely to withstand a Daubert
challenge; and include detailed discussions of criminal cases to
illustrate important points. Clinical and forensic psychologists
and psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists, and legal
professionals will be able to use this book to further their
understanding of the relationship between brain function and
extreme violence.
