“…Whilst many current forensic methods are fallible, over the past two decades, there has been an expansion of neuroscientific research to understanding and explaining criminal behaviour (Freedman and Woods 2018;Jones et al 2013), leading to a new field termed neurolaw (Gkotsi et al 2015). Across these neuroscientific techniques, various examinations have taken place, including investigations into a perpetrator's mental capacity (e.g.…”
