Forensic neuropsychiatry and neurocrimen applied to the study of violent, criminal and corrupt behavior

Abstract

Objectives– Define the scope of the study of Forensic Neuropsychiatry inherent in violent, criminal and corrupt behavior psychopathological processes;– characterize to Neurocrimen;– describe the neurobiological underpinnings of violence;– analyze the corrupt behavior as a derivation of cognitive bias and distorting processes that lead to social maladjustment;– propose therapeutic tools addressing violent, criminal and corrupt behavior.DevelopmentViolent, criminal and corrupt behavior currently occupy an enormous preponderance in terms of distorting behaviors collevan degradation of the harmonic organization of social convicencia frequently appear in the media presented under the judicative and moral value, preventing a comprehensive analysis of this issue. We intend dilucidaar under this scenario if these behaviors have a neurobiological basis, or if we neuropathological arguments that lead us to interpret any of these processes in terms signosintomatológicos, and therefore be liable to approach from mental health. For this analysis we implement knowledge from cognitive neucociencia, specifically forensic neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry, the neurocrimen and neuroderecho.ConclusionsViolent, criminal and corrupt behavior have a neurobiological support in statistical terms that allow us to infer distortionary neurobiological processes that result in changes in adaptation to social life. Many of these neurobiological aspects may be characterized in terms neuropathological and, therefore, make some of these behaviors in symptoms and signs. These findings implanted the need to revise legal conclusions static, although still insufficient to transform legal medical paradigms, but we require constant analysis and case by case ratification thereof.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
