Synopsis
A GROUNDBREAKING EXPLORATION OF YOUTH CRIME THROUGH NEUROSCIENCE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND CRIMINOLOGY Why do some young people engage in deviant and criminal behaviour, while others do not? What role do brain development, personality traits, and social influences play in youth crime? Youth Deviance, Crime, and Justice: The Neuro-Psycho-Criminological Perspective offers an innovative and comprehensive look at youth offending by integrating neuropsychology and criminology. With an interdisciplinary approach to understanding youth offending, this volume examines both the biological and social mechanisms that shape youth delinquency. With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners from the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, and Iran, this book presents cutting-edge research on topics such as cognitive neuroscience, moral intelligence, peer influences, and the neurobiological underpinnings of antisocial behaviour. Structured into two sections—Theory and Research, and Policy and Practice—it bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and practical applications, offering valuable insights for both researchers and professionals in the field. Youth Deviance, Crime, and Justice: The Neuro-Psycho-Criminological Perspective is an essential resource for academics, students, and field practitioners, including neuroscientists, forensic psychologists, legal professionals, and policymakers. Whether used in courses on forensic psychology, neurocriminology, or juvenile justice, or as a reference for professionals working with at-risk youth, this text provides the latest research and best practices to inform effective interventions and policies.
