So, I think the more is learned about cognitive neuroscience, the greater the chances the root causes of the (criminal) behavior can be understood, and perhaps treated. At some point criminal justice systems need to be better informed about this. There is a strong need for reform not just in the U.S., but globally. Having said this, there are a few politicians around that sometimes make me long for a return of Madame la Guillotine. But I suppose not.
