NEUROCRIMINOLOGY

Neurocriminology is an emerging discipline and interdisciplinary approach that explores historical causation, adverse experiences, behavior disorders, antisocial functioning, perpetration, offending, and recidivism patterns resulting from the physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, and cultural/social/environmental contributors for crime. Neurocriminology attempts to understand why crime happened and understand and explain the impact of crime on victims in order to craft appropriate interventions to restore individual citizenship and prevent predation and improve resiliency for the community.

The College of Clinical Care offers several pathways to explore neurociminology, including victims services, forensic social work, forensic peer support, and mitigation advocacy.
