PODCAST: INJURY IS NOT EQUAL
S2. Ep. 6: TBI & the Justice System
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in cognitive, emotional and behavioural symptoms such as memory impairment, poor judgement, issues with anger management, inappropriate emotional response, and engagement with high risk behaviours. These symptoms and impairments can increase an individual’s risk of interaction with police and involvement with the justice system. In fact, evidence indicates that individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury are about two and a half times more likely to be incarcerated than individuals without a TBI (McIsaac et al., 2016). Studies have also indicated that the majority of incarcerated participants report having a TBI before their first criminal offence.
In this episode, host Shaelyn Fitzpatrick is joined by guest speaker Dr. Flora Matheson to discuss the widely unknown and complex intersection between TBI and the criminal justice system
