This edited book provides an in-depth examination of the
implications of neuroscience for the criminal justice system. It
draws together experts from across law, neuroscience, medicine,
psychology, criminology, and ethics, and offers an important
contribution to current debates at the intersection of these
fields. It examines how neuroscience might contribute to fair and
more effective criminal justice systems, and how neuroscientific
insights and information can be integrated into criminal law in a
way that respects fundamental rights and moral values. The book's
first part approaches these questions from a legal perspective,
followed by ethical accounts in part two. Its authors address a
wide range of topics and approaches: some more theoretical, like
those regarding the foundations of punishment; others are more
practical, like those concerning the use of brain scans in the
courtroom. Together, they illustrate the thoroughly
interdisciplinary nature of the debate, in which science, law and
ethics are closely intertwined. It will appeal in particular to
students and scholars of law, neuroscience, criminology,
socio-legal studies and philosophy. Chapter 8 is available open

The research in this book on the geographical context of drug
addiction contributes to better understanding the etiology of
addiction, its diffusion, its interaction with geographically
variable environmental, social, and economic factors, and the
strategies for its treatment and prevention. This book explores
links between geography and drug abuse and identifies research
ideas, connections, and research pathways which point to some
promising avenues for future work in this area.
The topics explored in Geography and Drug Addiction include: (1)
Spatial patterns of drug use and addiction. (2) Linking spatial
models with drug abuse research. (3) Interaction of social and
environmental factors with biochemical processes of addiction. (4)
Locational analyses of drug addiction treatment and service
delivery facilities. (5) Neighborhood scale studies of geographic
factors (including the built environment) and their interaction
with drug addiction, treatment, or prevention. (6) Use of
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to better understanding and
respond to drug addiction. (7) Spatial diffusion modeling of
addictive drug usage and its changing characteristics, including
also predictive modeling. (8) Social epidemiology and GIS.
This book is an outcome of the jointly sponsored AAG/NIDA
Geography and Drug Symposium. It will serve as an excellent
resource to geographers and drug abuse researchers, including
sociologists, epidemiologists, social scientists in general and
public health researchers, both in policy and academia.
