Neurocriminology for (future) HPE professionals
Neuroscientific knowledge about the origin of antisocial behaviour is growing rapidly. However, in practice, this knowledge is hardly implemented. Antisocial behaviour results from a mix of social, psychological and neurobiological factors. Professionals who work with antisocial youths would benefit from this knowledge.
Objective
Brain development and its influence on young people exhibiting antisocial behaviour is a neglected topic when it comes to the education and daily activity of professionals. The HU Research group Public health and public safety has therefore begun a study in collaboration with Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, aiming to strengthen neuroscientific knowledge among students, lecturers and professionals.
Results
Based on this research, a lesson module will be developed to convey the basics of neuroscience knowledge. Different modules (ranging from one lesson to a minor) will probably be set up to accommodate the different target groups; Bachelor's students, professionals and lecturers.
Duration
01 May 2019 - 01 May 2021
Approach
We will assess what knowledge students, lecturers and professionals already have, as well as their attitude toward neuroscience and the knowledge they hope to achieve.
