The recordings of the brain can predict if the offender will re-offending

Neuro scientists Americans claim to have found the way to the base of the brain scanning to predict if the offender will repeat the offense.

According to American experts, the perpetrators to who viewed areas with weaker activity in the area of ​​the brain associated with decision-making and action are more likely to be arrested again.

A team led by Kent Kiehl, neuroscience at the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque studied a group of 96 male prisoners shortly before their release from prison. They scanned the brains of computers prisoners until they have become exercises in which they had to make quick decisions and to inhibit impulsive reactions.

Using functional magnetic resonance in which the measured blood flow through certain parts of the brain in particular have followed the anterior cortex activity Cingular, transmits Koha.net. The prisoners have followed for four years. Those with lower activity in the anterior cortex Cingular had greater chances arrested again after release from prison.

This is proved as are considering other risk factors such as age, drugs or alcohol.

Men who have been doubly lower activity in that part of the brain cortex had 2.6 times greater chance to be arrested again for all crimes and 4.3 times more likely to be arrested for crimes not to violent.
