Abstract/Description

Over the course of the past five years, biosocial criminology research has been at the forefront of examining the relations between head injury, offending, and victimization across the life course. Despite this growing body of research, important empirical and clinical questions remain. Results from this line of work has the potential to inform best practices aimed at addressing the emotional and physical consequences of early life head trauma. This panel will present four ongoing research projects focused on further unpacking the longitudinal relations between head injury and the development of antisocial behavior, as well as the link between early life victimization and delinquent offending.
