Ini sebuah statistik mengejutkan: 50 hingga 80 persen orang dalam sistem peradilan pidana di Amerika Serikat mengidap cedera otak. Angka menunjukkan kurang dari 5 persen di kalangan masyarakat umum. Neuropsikologis Kim Gorgens  membagikan penelitiannya mengenai hubungan antara trauma otak dan perilaku yang membuat orang keluar masuk peradilan pidana -- beberapa langkah untuk membuat sistem lebih efektif dan aman untuk semua.

Hubungan mengejutkan antara cedera otak dan kriminal

A staggering 50 to 80 percent of people in the criminal justice system have suffered a traumatic brain injury, compared to less than five percent in the general population. Many of these injuries stem from violence, often leading to cognitive impairments like poor impulse control and memory problems. Simple accommodations and a shift in perception reveal that many so-called 'problem behaviors' are actually symptoms of brain trauma. By addressing these root causes, both individuals and the system can break the cycle of repeat offenses.
