Application of technological advances in the assessment and treatment of addiction in corrections .: PS83-5/R421E-PDF
"Substance use disorders (SUDs) are highly prevalent among offenders in the criminal justice system, with estimates as high as 70-80% in Canada. Deficits in impulse control (including difficulty inhibiting or controlling behaviour, delaying gratification, and increased risk-taking behaviour) are known to contribute to SUDs and criminal behaviour in independent lines of research, but the impact of these deficits among offenders with SUDs is unclear. Effective assessment and treatment of SUDs requires use of “best practices” and the application of new technologies. The goals of this review were to 1) critically evaluate the literature on impulse control deficits in offenders; 2) summarize what is known about the brain basis of these deficits; and 3) discuss recent applications of technology to treat SUDs in offenders"--Why we did this study, page [1].
