解説
In some cases in the US, offenders have been made to take anti-psychotic drugs in order to restore competence to stand trial, or even to receive punishment. If such neurointerventions can change a person's behaviour can they be used to treat and more controversially, predict and prevent crime? Once a fantasy portrayed in films such as Minority Report such questions are fast-becoming fundamental ones for policy, law and ethics. This is the first book to introduce and explain the fundamental concepts, problems and debates around neuroscience, ethics and crime. After a helpful introduction the authors examine the following topics:
- Criminal justice, harm and the problem of punishment: why punish?
- Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience: a short introduction
- Reading minds: can brain scans replace lie detector tests and predict reoffending?
- Neuroscientific assessments of competency
- Compulsory neurointerventions: can changing the brain be used to increase empathy and reduce violent urges?
- Voluntary neurointervention: is it wrong to administer neurointerventions even if the offender agrees to receive the neurointervention?
- Neuroscience, free will and moral responsibility
- Broader issues in criminal justice, including the justification of criminal punishment and the role of moral intuitions in decision-making.
Additional features, such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary make this an excellent resource for students of philosophy and those in related disciplines such as philosophy, criminology, law and criminal justice.
