Course Description:
This course introduces the emerging research field of neurocriminology, which integrates the disciplines of neuroscience, biology, psychology and criminology to understand criminal behaviour. Students will learn how principles and methods drawn from neuroscience (e.g., neuroimaging techniques, neuropsychological assessment) can be applied to study the neurobiological foundations of crime. Contemporary and cutting-edge findings from neurocriminology research will provide insight into how criminal behaviour can be influenced by brain structures and functioning, biochemical abnormalities, genetics and psychophysiology. The course will review the application of neurocriminology methods and findings at various levels of the criminal justice process (e.g., prevention, investigation, assessment, prosecution, intervention), including the limitations of these applications.
