The more we learn about the brain dysfunction that underlies much delinquency and criminal behavior, the more successful we will be in truly rehabilitating offenders and preventing at-risk children from turning to lives of crime. The purpose of Crime Times, a free publication sponsored by the Wacker Foundation, is to foster this effort by reporting state-of-the-art worldwide research on biological causes and treatment of aberrant behavior. It is our hope that physicians, researchers, educators, law enforcement professionals, and parents can use the information in Crime Times to build a better, safer future for at-risk children, and for the communities in which they live.
