    In this video we actually look at one of my readings! I study the personality correlates of police decision-making which is critical if we are going to start understanding, predicting, and potentially changing the types of decisions that are made when police officers face challenging situations on duty.   I hope you enjoy my work!

    As we speak, the United States is suffering another round of riots in response to the police shooting of Daunte Wright. How do we, as forensic psychologists, understand the process of high-stakes decision-making and how can we know the degree to which someone is culpable? This is not an easy topic but it is one we MUST explore. In this weeks lecture we look to a case from the military to begin our understanding of the immense complexities of diagnosing decision-making.

    In this weeks lecture we explore the relationship between the brain and behavior. We specifically focus on the case of "non-offending paedophiles" and the role that the brain plays.    The bulk of the lecture is a lecture by James Cantor who has tracked the neural underpinnings of deviant sexual interest all the way back to events that occur in the womb.   What does this mean for the "big questions"? Who is to blame? Can we treat it? Can we prevent it?    Enjoy! It is no understatement that this is the most challenging question facing forensic psychology right now.
