    Forensic Neuroscience: A Call on Criminal Justice, Forensic Mental Health, and Legal Professionals to Become Informed

    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. Developed for professionals working in criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal settings, this innovative training provides attendees with: (a) a working knowledge of forensic neuroscience research and (b) a framework for applying a forensic neuroscience-informed lens and perspective to the intake, interviewing, screening, and treatment of forensic-based and justice-involved clients. This training is particularly relevant to professionals working with high-risk populations, including:
    • Criminal and civil defendants
    • Clients supervised under community supervision (i.e., probation and parole)
    • Clients in court-ordered treatment and civil commitment
    • Juvenile justice-involved populations
    • Clients with dark personality traits (e.g., psychopathy and callous-unemotional traits)
    • Clients with substance use disorders
    • Specific offender subtypes (e.g., sexual offending, domestic violence, firesetting, or repeated DUIs)
    • Treatment-resistant clients
