‘Forensic Neuroscience’ webinar presented by NAPD Dec. 1
The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present a webinar on “Forensic Neuroscience: A Call on Criminal Justice, Forensic Mental Health” Monday, December 1, from 1 to 2 p.m.
At the nexus of neuroscience, criminology, psychology, and the law, forensic neuroscience is the innovative subfield focused on better understanding the role of neural mechanisms (e.g., brain structure and function) in problematic and antisocial behaviors. Specifically, professionals working in this interdisciplinary field apply knowledge and methodologies from neuroscience and related disciplines to elucidate the causes of criminality and other concerning behaviors as well as to better understand the complexities of complex human behavior, head injury, memory, deception, and much more.
Work in this field has important implications for criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal decisions related to competency, culpability, sentencing, supervision, management, and prevention. Further, forensic neuroscience can help inform intake, screening and assessment, risk management, individualized care planning, treatment decisions, and rehabilitation strategies.
Speaking at the webinar will be Prof. Jerrod Brown, founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies (AIAFS).
Cost for the webinar is $50.
