The Justice Committee will hear evidence from psychologists calling for recognition of the connection between head injury and re-offending, in order to reduce the number of individuals re-entering the criminal justice system. Academics and practitioners will give evidence as part of the committee inquiry into ‘Brain injury and the criminal justice system’ and explain what can be done to identify and treat offenders with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and reduce reconviction rates in Scotland.
