SUMMARY:Forensic Neuroscience: A Call on Criminal Justice\, Forensic Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Forensic Neuroscience: A Call on Criminal Justice\, Forensic Mental Health\, and Legal Professionals to Become Informed \nAt 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:\n\n\nCriminal and civil defendants\n\n\nClients supervised under community supervision (i.e.\, probation and parole)\n\n\nClients in court-ordered treatment and civil commitment\n\n\nJuvenile justice-involved populations\n\n\nClients with dark personality traits (e.g.\, psychopathy and callous-unemotional traits)\n\n\nClients with substance use disorders\n\n\nSpecific offender subtypes (e.g.\, sexual offending\, domestic violence\, firesetting\, or repeated DUIs)\n\n\nTreatment-resistant clients\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 is also the founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies (AIAFS). Jerrod has also provided consultation services to a number of caregivers\, professionals\, and organizations pertaining to topics related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD)\, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)\, confabulation\, suggestibility\, trauma and other life adversities\, alexithymia\, executive dysfunction\, criminal recidivism\, traumatic brain injury (TBI)\, and youth fire setting. Jerrod has completed four separate master’s degree programs and holds graduate certificates in Medical Biochemistry\, Exercise Prescription\, Neuroscience and the Law\, Neuropsychology\, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)\, Dyslexia\, 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. In 2023\, Jerrod completed a diabetes care and education certificate from Central Arizona College. Currently\, Jerrod is pursuing his fifth master’s degree in Applied Clinical Nutrition from Northeast College of Health Sciences. Jerrod has also conducted over 300 workshops\, webinars\, and on-demand trainings for various organizations and professional and student audiences. Jerrod has published several articles and book chapters\, and recently\, co-edited the book Forensic Mental Health: A Source Guide for Professionals (Brown & Weinkauf\, 2018) with ErvWeinkauf. Jerrod has also been quoted in various magazines\, newspapers\, and other professional outlets. Jerrod is also regularly featured on several national and international podcast programs.
