Opis

Traditional means of crime prevention, such as incarceration and psychological rehabilitation, are frequently ineffective. This collection considers how crime preventing neurointerventions (CPNs) could present a more humane alternative but, on the other hand, how neuroscientific developments and interventions may threaten fundamental human values.

Recenzje

The nineteen essays in this book comprehensively cover and effectively advance the moral debate over the appropriate use of CPNs...the essays in the book are original, they also serve as a good entry point into a moral issue that has arguably received inadequate attention.
