Violent offenders with psychopathy present a lifelong pattern of callousness and aggression and fail to benefit from rehabilitation programs. This study presents the first, albeit preliminary, evidence suggesting that some of the structural brain anomalies distinguishing violent offenders with psychopathy may result from physical abuse in childhood.
具有精神病态的暴力罪犯表现出一种终生的冷漠和攻击性模式,并且无法从康复计划中受益。这项研究首次提出了一些初步证据,表明区分具有精神病态的暴力罪犯的一些结构性大脑异常可能是由于儿童时期的身体虐待造成的。
