Rates of reported traumatic brain injury (TBI) in offender and prisoner populations are extremely high (~80%). It has been suggested that TBI may be responsible for half the crimes leading to incarceration. Criminal behaviour is complex and the role of TBI in this conundrum is unclear. Our study will examine this question using data-linkage. Should we find a link between TBI and subsequent offending, this opens up the possibility of developing interventions aimed at preventing this trajectory.

罪犯和囚犯人群中报告的创伤性脑损伤（TBI）发生率极高（约80%）。有人认为，TBI可能是导致监禁的一半罪行的原因。犯罪行为是复杂的，TBI在这个难题中的作用尚不清楚。我们的研究将使用数据链接来研究这个问题。如果我们发现创伤性脑损伤和随后的犯罪之间的联系，这就有可能制定旨在防止这一轨迹的干预措施。
