The Neuroscience & Justice Series aims to provide insight into the intricate connections between human behavior and the justice system. Our Spring event explores the devastating impacts of drug addiction and trauma on the brain, and how these effects extend beyond the individual, touching families and communities. Our speakers will delve into cutting-edge research and therapeutic approaches that reveal the potential for healing and change, highlighting the brain's remarkable capacity for resilience and recovery. At the heart of our discussion is also the transformative role of treatment courts. These specialized courts represent a radical shift towards compassion and rehabilitation in the justice system, providing tailored interventions that address the root causes of criminal behavior. By focusing on treatment and support rather than punishment, treatment courts offer a beacon of hope, guiding individuals towards a future free from addiction and crime.
