Summary
This edited book provides an in-depth examination of the implications of neuroscience for the criminal justice system. It draws together experts from across law, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, criminology and ethics, and offers an important contribution to current debates at the intersection of these fields. The volume examines how neuroscience might contribute to fairer and more effective criminal justice systems, and how neuroscientific insights and information can be integrated into criminal law in a way that respects fundamental rights and moral values. The books first part approaches these questions from a legal perspective, followed by ethical accounts in part two. The authors address a wide range of topics and approaches: some are more theoretical, like those regarding the foundations of punishment; others are more practical, like those concerning the use of brain scans in the courtroom. Together, they illustrate the thoroughly interdisciplinary nature of the debate, in which science, law and ethics are closely intertwined. This book will appeal in particular to students and scholars of law, neuroscience, criminology, socio-legal studies and philosophy. Sjors Ligthart is PhD candidate in Criminal Law at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. Dave van Toor is Assistant Professor of Criminal Law at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. Tijs Kooijmans is Professor of Criminal Law at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. Thomas Douglas is Professor of Applied Philosophy and Director of Research and Development at the Oxford Uehiro Centre of Practical Ethics, Faculty of Philosophy, and Senior Research Fellow at Jesus College, University of Oxford, UK. Gerben Meynen is Professor of Forensic Psychiatry at Utrecht University and Professor of Ethics and Psychiatry at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
