Paper Summary:

This paper defined traumatic brain injury and explains that it can occur in two ways - closed head injury and penetrating head injury. The paper then looks at the kind of damage these injuries could cause and how they could affect a person's daily functioning. It then shows how, often, serious criminals suffered a serious head wound in their earlier life which causes the brain to have minimalized moral judgment.

From the Paper:

"What do Ple, Steve Young, Bobby Joe Long and Timothy McVeigh have in common? At one point or another, all have suffered traumatic brain injuries. Ple's injuries were from a soccer ball and Steve Young's injuries were from repeatedly being sacked; both were expected as professional athletes; however, Bobby Joe suffered from many serious head injuries starting from childhood but culminating with a life-threatening motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for many days. Timothy McVeigh also "sustained three mild head injuries during his youth." "
