Eis uma estatística chocante: entre 50 a 80% das pessoas na justiça criminal dos EUA sofreram um traumatismo craniano. No público em geral, esse número é inferior a 5%. A neuropsicóloga Kim Gorgens fala da sua pesquisa sobre a relação entre trauma cerebral e comportamentos que mantêm as pessoas na porta giratória da justiça criminal — e mostra algumas maneiras de tornar o sistema mais eficaz e seguro para todos.
