Brain and Crime, Volume 197 reviews the relation between brain
function and aggressive and rule-breaking (criminal)
behavior. The book's focus is on the violation of social
rules and not on violation of regulations that are different in
different counties. It discusses the development of this behavior
from childhood into adulthood, along with the mechanisms associated
with the risk for aggression and rule-breaking behavior. In
addition, it explores from a behavioral level concepts like
psychopathology, syndrome and concepts from law, such as crime,
defendant and offender. Finally, sections explore brain function,
including emotion, cognitive processes, and decision-making. From
the perspective of brain structure, the book covers brain networks
and brain disorders. In genetics, the book includes the influence
of genes and the mechanisms of epigenetics. All chapters are
intended to provide information for use in the diagnosis and
treatment of disorders, and in assessment and prevention.
