Reviews
This book is a fascinating read from cover to cover. It's the best primer on the subject I've ever seen, and likely to have a high impact on a wide variety of audiences. --P. David Mozley, MD, Professor and Chief, Division of Nuclear Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College and New York-Presbyterian Hospital Murder in the Courtroom offers an insightful view of the intersection of the law and the science related to violent behaviors. ... Today we are witnessing the rudimentary entry of neuroscience in the courtroom. Undoubtedly, increasingly sophisticated future incursions are certain. This text provides a science-based structure for their interpretation. This scholarly work deserves serious consideration for students and scholars of mind, brain, society, and law. -- Mony J. de Leon, EdD, Professor of Psychiatry and Founder and Director of the Center for Brain Health, NYU Langone Medical Center
