Head injury in a child can cause problems with the law in the future

Of the children who underwent brain injury, subsequently often get criminals




That conclusion was made by scientists of English University of Exeter, said "Medikforum.ru".




Young people with brain injury more likely to commit a crime and are caught, as the researchers found. This is because such injuries can affect those areas of the brain that make judgments and control impulses. Scientists from the University of Exeter in this regard, I urge the scientific community to pay attention to this problem, which can reduce the crime situation in the country.




Most often these injuries occur in children and young people after the fall or in the outcome of a collision. Often injuries are inflicted in the course of accidents or fights. And consequences of these injuries are not limited to loss of memory. It turns out that among criminal offenders many of those who in childhood or adolescence years, suffered a brain injury. That is why such patients requires a more thorough treatment, and then the subsequent observation by psychologists, the researchers believe.




The young brain is still going through the development stage, prone to making risky decisions, " says study author Professor Hugh Williams. So initially, children and teenagers often get into different kinds of traumatic situations in which there is a great risk of getting a concussion and other injuries. Subsequently, they negatively affect attention and concentration of a young man on his mood and behavior. Brain injury is rarely considered by criminal justice professionals, although they seriously increases the risk of committing a crime".
