The Therapeutic Promise: Neuroprediction, Risk, the Violent Brain
Journalists interested in the intersection of science and criminology should attend this free seminar, sponsored by the Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology at the University of Washington, on the use of neuroscience to identify potential criminals. Oliver Rollins, an assistant professor of American Ethnic Studies at the University of Washington will explore the promise and pitfalls of the construct he calls the “violent brain” and the under-examined danger of using neuroscience to predict violence.
