SUMMARY:ADHD and the Criminal Justice System: A Forensic Neuroscience and Neurocriminological Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric disorder distinguished by impulsivity\, hyperactivity\, and inattention. Typically emerging during childhood\, these symptoms can persist into adulthood and contribute to social\, occupational\, and behavioral problems. These behavioral problems can include criminal justice-involvement\, as ADHD is disproportionately likely in this context relative to the general population. Further\, the symptoms of ADHD make it difficult to navigate the rules and procedures of the criminal justice system\, from courtroom settings to community supervision. Without accurate assessment and effective treatment\, individuals with ADHD may be at risk for reoffending and long-term criminal justice-involvement. Designed for legal and mental health professionals\, this innovative training introduces the symptoms\, etiology (including prenatal and postnatal neurobiopsychosocial risk factors)\, co-occurring conditions\, and consequences of ADHD. Attendees will learn how to apply key learning objectives during interviews\, screening and assessment\, and interventions. Increased awareness of ADHD’s role in offending has the potential to reduce recidivism\, ensure fairness\, and promote public safety. Cutting-edge research from forensic neuroscience and neurocriminology will be highlighted throughout the training. \n\n\n\n\nJerrod Brown\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, is a professor\, trainer\, researcher\, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses.

Jerrod has completed four separate master’s degree programs and holds graduate certificates in Neuroscience and the Law\, Neuropsychology\, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)\, Other Health Disabilities (OHD)\, and Traumatic-Brain Injuries (TBI). In 2021\, Jerrod completed a post-doctoral certificate in Leadership and Organizational Strategy from Walden University and a Professional Certificate in Forensic Psychology from San Diego State University Global Campus.
