Correctional rehabilitation and human functioning: An embodied, embedded, and enactive approach
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2020Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Harry Dent, Kristopher Nielsen, Tony WardAbstractTheories of crime are based in an underlying understanding of human functioning. In this paper we argue that current theories of correctional rehabilitation imply a model of functioning which is reward-oriented, multifactorial, norm-based, and non-agential. This approach is seen as affording limited explanatory value, leading to problems with treatment efficacy. We outline an alternative perspective of functioning as being embodied, embedded, and enactive (3e). 3e places an e...

On alcohol disinhibition and inhibition: The intricate relationship between oxidative stress and behavior
Publication date: Available online 15 January 2020Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Tobore Onojighofia ToboreAbstractAlcohol use is known to result in disinhibition. However, evidence suggests that alcohol consumption could also result in inhibition. Several hypotheses have been proposed for this confounding alcohol-induced behavior, but none explains it adequately at the level of the brain. In this paper, oxidative stress is put forth as the underlying cause of alcohol toxicity and behavioral impairments. The implications of this understanding and how oxidative stress influences behavior in obesity, diabet...
