随着新的功能和结构神经成像技术的出现，研究人员已经开始定位攻击性和暴力性罪犯可能存在功能障碍的大脑区域。我们对17项神经影像研究的回顾表明，与攻击性和/或暴力行为史，特别是冲动行为相关的区域位于前额叶皮质和内侧颞区。这些发现是在负面情绪调节的背景下解释的，并就这些发现如何影响犯罪学、预防犯罪努力和刑事司法系统运行的未来理论框架提出了建议。
With the availability of new functional and structural neuroimaging techniques, researchers have begun to localize brain areas that may be dysfunctional in offenders who arc aggressive and violent. Our review of 17 neuroimaging studies reveals that the areas associated with aggressive and/or violent behavioral histories, particularly impulsive acts, are located in the prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal regions. These findings are explained in the context of negative emotion regulation, and suggestions are provided concerning how such findings may affect future theoretical frameworks in criminology, crime prevention efforts, and the functioning of the criminal justice system.
