Description
Examines youth deviance, crime, and justice through a neuro-psycho-criminological lens
Youth deviance and crime remain critical global concerns, demanding a multidisciplinary approach that integrates neuroscience, psychology, and criminology. Youth Deviance, Crime, and Justice: The Neuro-Psycho-Criminological Perspective offers an in-depth exploration of the biological, psychological, and social mechanisms shaping youth offending. By bridging neuropsychology and criminology, this volume advances our understanding of how criminal behaviour develops and persists, while also informing evidence-based policies and interventions.
Authored by leading researchers and practitioners from the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, and Iran, this edited collection provides a comprehensive, international perspective on youth deviance. Organised into two sections—Theory and Research, and Policy and Practice—the book covers key topics including the neurobiological roots of antisocial behaviour, peer influences on decision-making, the role of morality in youth offending, and the implications of neuroscience for juvenile justice policy. Each chapter presents cutting-edge research and practical applications.
Offering a pioneering neuro-psycho-criminological approach that paves the way for effective prevention and intervention strategies, Youth Deviance, Crime, and Justice:
- Presents cutting-edge research on the biological, psychological, and social influences on youth offending
- Explores the role of brain development, cognitive neuroscience, and moral intelligence in criminal behaviour
- Discusses the neurobiological and psychological nature of adultification and its impact on legal decision-making
- Bridges theoretical research and practical applications for treatment providers, legal professionals, and policymakers
Youth Deviance, Crime, and Justice: The Neuro-Psycho-Criminological Perspective is an essential resource for academics, researchers, and students in criminology, psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. It is particularly relevant for courses in forensic psychology, neurocriminology, juvenile justice, and youth crime.
