Description: This volume provides a frame of reference in which to consider the effects of cognitive abnormalities on violent behaviour and the impact on legal decision-makers. The book also provides an in-depth discussion of commonly used neuropsychological tests to determine the cognitive ability of a particular individual and an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of neuro-imaging modalities used to assess cognitive functioning to determine, for example, culpability, or assess competency.
