SUMMARY:Lead Exposure and Criminality: A Forensic Neuroscience and Neurocriminological Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Exposure to lead\, a neurotoxin\, can have devastating consequences on organ systems\, including the brain and heart. For instance\, lead exposure during the prenatal period and early childhood can impair the development of brain structures and functions (e.g.\, cerebral cortex and hippocampus). Consequences may include cognitive deficits (e.g.\, poor decision-making)\, learning disabilities\, and behavioral problems (e.g.\, impulsivity) that can persist across the lifespan. These behavioral problems may manifest as aggression\, delinquency\, and other criminal behaviors. This link is supported by research findings\, including (a) elevated crime rates among individuals with lead exposure and (b) associations between brain imaging data and criminal behavior. Designed for forensic mental health\, criminal justice\, and legal professionals\, this innovative training offers an overview of the physical\, cognitive\, affective\, and behavioral symptoms and consequences of lead exposure\, particularly during prenatal development and early childhood. Participants will also gain an advanced understanding of the scientific literature pertaining to prenatal and postnatal lead exposure in relation to possible future problematic\, concerning\, dysregulated\, and anti-social behaviors. Insights from cutting-edge forensic neuroscience and neurocriminology research will also be emphasized throughout the training to support critical learning objectives. \nJerrod Brown\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S. is a professor\, trainer\, researcher\, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses.

SUMMARY:Reviewing Minor Records: Was it Child Maltreatment?
DESCRIPTION:Description\nMedical records can be intimidating and tedious for any criminal attorney or investigator to review\, especially when it comes to possible child abuse. This session will be an overview of the various types of child maltreatment\, as well as other medical conditions that mimic abuse.\nKey areas on the body that are highly indicative of abuse and discrepancies to look for will be discussed\, as things that you should consider when looking at the medical records. To make this presentation relevant and interesting there will be multiple case studies.\nLearning Objectives\n\n1. Be able to recognize common areas of the body that are highly suspicious for child abuse.\n2. Know the different types of child maltreatment.\n3. Identify children at a higher risk of abuse.\n4. Recognize markings that are common with cultural healing practices.\n\nPresenter(s)\n\nKahli Ellis MS\, BSN\, RN Forensic Nurse Expert\nKahli graduated in 2014 with a BSN from a small college in St. Louis\, MO and has been a nurse since 2014.
