El Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH) es Psicopatología del Neurodesarrollo más prevalente a nivel mundial. Diagnosticada en los primeros años de vida bajo la apreciación de síntomas de inatención, hiperactividad, e impulsividad, se caracteriza principalmente por una alteración de la función ejecutiva a nivel encefálico, lo cual englobaría, entre otros aspectos, la incapacidad para aten-der adecuadamente a ciertos estímulos, planificar, reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de acciones futuras, o inhibir la conducta frente a ciertos estímulos. La significación clínica del TDAH podría traducirse en severas consecuencias tanto a corto como a largo plazo, pudiendo llegar a vincular dichos resultados al comportamiento disocial e incluso criminal, aunque lo hará en una minoría de sujetos con aquél Cuadro y comúnmente en presencia de comorbilidad diagnóstica, dotando de gran relevancia a la sintomatología externalizante. Así pues, la necesidad de indagar sobre aquellas áreas jurídico-penales y criminológicas vinculadas a la presencia de psicopatología en el sujeto conduce a realizar una búsqueda científica, exhaustiva y comparada, sobre aquel conjunto de variables que tanto a nivel intrínseco como extrínseco pudieran llegar a delimitar una trayectoria futura sustentada en la criminalidad y delincuencia. Por todo ello, se plantea la cobertura multidisciplinar del TDAH en base a distintas ramas de conocimiento, destacando fundamentalmente las que atañen al Derecho Penal, Psicología, y Criminología; esto es, a sus implicaciones jurídico-penales, psicológicas y criminológicas.

Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental difference between men and women. The simple idea of difference, once used to rationalize prejudices and discrimination, has now been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. This book explores new empirical work and theoretical models about the causes and consequences of constructing gender.

The importance of language is increasingly acknowledged within social psychology. In this seminal book, a group of distinguished authors goes beyond general theory to address, from a research base, key issues in the interrelationship between language, interaction and social cognition. Their starting point is that the ways in which we perceive and, therefore, interact with others are structured by the language available to us, as a socially constructed system above and beyond individual minds. The relationship between language and social cognition is not, however, a fixed or unicausal one: linguistic terms are also generated in response to social and cultural development. The interplay is dialectical - a dialectic of the social. The authors explore this dialectic through such themes as: the use and power of category labels; trait-behaviour relations in social information processing; and interpersonal verbs and attribution. They examine the significance of language use in the persistence of stereotypes, and the links between syntactical reasoning processes and social cognition, as well as the impact of perspectivity. They consider the ways in which communication roles and context shape, and are shaped by, language. Language, Interaction and Social Cognition will be essential reading for all those in social psychology, psycholinguistics, linguistics and communication studies concerned with the role of language in interaction and social cognition.

The recent explosion of research and practice relating to offending and the related investigative and legal processes makes it extremely difficult for anyone to master these emerging areas of research. This book will help readers to navigate through this rapidly expanding area of scholarship and practice by bringing together a number of recent reviews on key topics by leading experts in the field. Contributions to the volume discuss developments in the study of interviewing and the detection of deception together with explorations of victims and offenders. The psychological background and consequences of school bullying, child sexual abuse and male rape are also explored, as are the challenges of collecting information about crimes as varied as burglary and serial killing. This book will be a valuable resource for criminologists, crime and forensic psychologists, students of socio-legal processes and all those involved in legal and investigative activities. The chapters in this book were originally published as review articles in Crime Psychology Review.

In this volume, top experts in the field of delinquency discuss the implications of the findings of the Pittsburgh Youth Study for current conceptualizations of antisocial behavior. Violence and Serious Theft is unique in that it combines the strengths of three disciplines to explain delinquency in young people: developmental psychopathology, criminology, and public health. The book addresses questions in two main areas: serious offending as an outcome over time and developmental aspects of serious offending; and factors which explain why some young males become violent and/or commit serious crime while others do not. Violence and Serious Theft is a resource for researchers, practitioners and students in developmental, school and counseling psychology; psychopathology, psychiatry, public health and criminology.

Leading experts review the latest findings and recommendations concerning the roots and prevention of antisocial behavior and crime The developmental perspective is becoming increasingly significant in criminology and in research on antisocial and criminal behavior. Developmental criminology can explain the stability of antisocial behavior as well as how it emerges and disappears across the life span. This volume brings together many of the most renowned scientists in the field. They report the latest findings, explain various phenomena and trajectories of antisocial behavior, and present new research methods. In a series of reviews, they analyze the significance of biological, psychological, and social risk factors in the development of antisocial behavior and show how these findings can be applied not only in crime prevention, criminal justice, and offender treatment, but also in the risk management of young offenders.
