The Wiley Blackwell Handbook of Forensic Neuroscience, 2 Volume Set
Explores how the explosion of neuroscience-based evidence in recent years has led to a fundamental change in how forensic psychology can inform working with criminal populations. This book communicates knowledge and research findings in the neurobiological field to those who work with offenders and those who design policy for offender rehabilitation and criminal justice systems, so that practice and policy can be neurobiologically informed, and research can be enhanced.

The Psychopath Inside
“Compelling, essential reading for understanding the underpinnings of psychopathy.” — M. E. Thomas, author of Confessions of a Sociopath For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he’d been raised in a loving family, married his high school sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his personal and professional life, but would lead him to question the very nature of his own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly, his own scan matched that pattern. And a few months later he learned that he was descended from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to reconcile the truth about his own brain with everything he knew as a scientist about the mind, behavior, and personality.

Crime in Japan
This book reviews research on psychology and crime in Japan, and compares the findings with similar research conducted in Western industrialised countries. It examines explanations for crime and antisocial behaviour in Japan using research and theories from a psychological perspective. Topics covered include cultural explanations, developmental and life-course criminology, family violence and family risk factors, youth crime and early prevention, school factors and bullying, mental disorders, biosocial factors, psychopathy and sexual offending. In some parts, it challenges and refines the prevailing belief that Japan is a society characterised by low crime and little antisocial behaviour. This original project is the most up-to-date work on crime in Japan, and advances the important field of psychological criminology.
사이코패스 뇌과학자
살인마의 뇌를 연구하는 세계적인 과학자 자신의 머릿속에서 사이코패스를 발견하다 “나는 자리에 앉아 우리 가족의 뇌 스캔 사진을 분석하다가 사진 더미 속 마지막 사진이 두드러지게 이상한 걸 알아차렸다. 그 사진은 사진의 주인이 사이코패스거나 적어도 사이코패스와 불편할 정도로 많은 특성을 공유함을 시사하고 있었다. 나는 사진 주인이 가족 중 하나일 거라고는 의심하지 않고, 당연히 가족의 뇌 스캔 사진 더미에 어쩌다 다른 테이블 위 사진이 섞였으리라 여겼다. 하지만 거기에는 아무런 실수도 없었다. 그 뇌 스...
