raine: NGRIs

eval method & proc: one of the first

• never been a study of as many criminals before

• findings still preliminary

• difficult to generalise the results in other studies

• therefore, lacks external reliability

eval ethics: lack of informed consent

• if p’s murderers pleading not guilty due to insanity, could not be mentally able to fully consent + understand their brain activity

• therefore, many patients not in right state of mind to consent for themselves

eval socio: early intervention for violent behaviour

• raine found that NGRIs had higher glucose in multiple brain areas compared to non-NGRIs

• suggests that insanity can be discovered in its early stages

• therefore, interventions could be put in place for negative behav. that could escalate into dangerous behav. that threatens safety
