This article aims to outline briefly the important role of culture in the development of the human mind and behaviour, and therefore argues that cultural information is a key part of forensic explanation. We suggest that differing cultural experiences, such as marginalisation, contribute to the differential representation of individuals and groups in criminal justice systems. This occurs through several means, but we focus specifically on individual operation of agency in particular cultural contexts. Building on previous theoretical work, we present a preliminary model, the cultural-ecological predictive agency model. Through an exemplar, we show how this model might assist in understanding better the role of dynamic risk factors in individual behaviour, by locating and incorporating cultural-historical contexts and information.
本文旨在简要概述文化在人类思维和行为发展中的重要作用，因此认为文化信息是法医学解释的关键部分。我们认为，诸如边缘化等不同的文化经历，导致个人和群体在刑事司法系统中的代表性存在差异。这通过多种方式发生，但我们特别关注特定文化背景下个体的能动性运作。基于先前的理论工作，我们提出了一个初步模型，即文化生态预测能动性模型。通过一个示例，我们展示了该模型如何通过定位和纳入文化历史背景及信息，有助于更好地理解动态风险因素在个体行为中的作用。
