Bioprediction, biomarkers, and bad behavior : scientific, legal, and ethical challenges /

Many decisions in the legal system and elsewhere depend on predictions of bad behaviors, including crimes and mental illnesses. Some scientists have suggested recently that these predictions can become more accurate and useful if they are based in part on biological information, such as brain struct...
