Longitudinal Predictors of Criminal Arrest After Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Premorbid variables, especially pre-TBI felonies, were strongly linked to post-TBI criminal arrests. The relationship between TBI and arrest was complex, and different brain functions (eg, physical mobility) should be considered when understanding this association. Findings highlight that for post-TBI criminal behavior, many risk factors mirror those of the non-TBI general population.
