These well-intentioned approaches have one thing in common: they frequently
fail. Why? Because they fail to acknowledge that many criminals suffer from
brain malfunctions which prevent them from benefiting from sociological or
psychological interventions. Research shows that chronic offenders exhibit brain dysfunction
leading to extreme "dyslogic." Many exhibit a lack of insight and foresight, a lack of
empathy for animals and people, a low anger threshold, poor abstract thinking and
social skills, a lack of fear and remorse, impulsivity, and an inability to
realize the consequences of their actions or to learn from experience.
The more we learn about the brain dysfunction that underlies much
delinquency and criminality, the more successful we will be in truly
rehabilitating offenders, and preventing "at risk" children from turning to
lives of crime. The purpose of Crime Times
is to foster this effort by
reporting state-of-the-art worldwide research on the causes and treatment of
aberrant behavior. Topics addressed by Crime Times include:
Most current efforts to fight crime focus on sociological approaches:
counseling and rehabilitation for offenders, tougher laws intended to discourage
criminal acts, and better parenting and better education to prevent at-risk
children from becoming delinquents and criminals.
There is much to report, for we are all living in "crime times" but we are
also living in a time of hope, when medical and scientific discoveries offer
us powerful new tools to effectively prevent or treat the true causes of
aberrant, delinquent, and criminal behavior.
