This book retrospectively analyzes the notorious 1924 case of
Leopold and Loeb, in which two college students murder a young boy
just to prove they could do it. In the almost hundred years since
that trial, the field of neuroscience along with neuropsychology
have expanded tremendously, and there are now much more
sophisticated tools that could be used to evaluate the perpetrators
of this crime. Although deemed mentally ill at the time, there was
not much scientific evidence that could be brought to bear on the
defendants' and their behavior. Now a legal psychologist and a
neuropsychologist team up to tackle the case from a modern
viewpoint. Using contemporary knowledge of the brain and behavior
they map out the way the case might be handled today. Not just of
historical interest, this volume serves as a case study for
students and professionals alike, and a review of procedures used
in such difficult cases.
