Criminal behaviour and violence are increasingly viewed as worldwide public health problems. A growing body of knowledge shows that criminal behaviour has a neurobiological basis, and this has intensified judicial interest in the potential application of neuroscience to criminal law. It also gives rise to important questions. What are the implications of such application for predicting future criminal behaviour and protecting society? Can it be used to prevent violence? And what are the implications for the way offenders are punished?
Mindfulness Training in High Stress Professions: Strengthening Attention and Resilience

A key feature of psychological health is resilience. Resilience has been described as the ability to overcome stress and maintain an effective level of appropriate behavior or performance when confronted by challenges (Staal, Bolton, Yaroush, & Bourne, 2008). The benefits of resilience apply across a wide variety of high stress professional environments. An extreme context capable of inducing stress is military combat where resilience literally can mean the difference between life and death. Many business, legal, and medical professionals experience situations that elicit a strong stress response and trigger the same physiological pathways as the life or death stressors encountered by military service members. Moreover, high stress professions can transmit maladaptive responses to challenging situ-ations to students training to become business, military, and community leaders, as well as lawyers and physicians. Yet most educational settings and professional development programs geared to high stress professionals do not offer structured guidance on how to cultivate resilience to stress and trauma. In this chapter, we explore the construct of resilience from a cognitive

A study was done to investigate whether a brief induction of compassion meditation would affect memory for emotionally laden words. One group of participants listened to twenty-five minutes of compassion meditation instructions while another group listened for the same amount of time to relaxation music. Both groups were given a verbal learning test composed of words which were positive, neutral and negative in valence, and then asked to recall those words in a free-recall test. Results revealed that while the number of negative and neutral words recalled did not differ between the groups, the compassion meditation group tended to recall more positive words. This small effect was perhaps not due to an improved mood in the meditation group. Results are discussed in terms of the effects of compassion meditation on memory for emotional stimuli.
