were just as biologically predisposed to white-collar crime as Mr. Oft was predisposed to pedophilia? This issue on the future applications ofneurocriminology brings us to the final chapter, where I will give you my own guarded perspective not just on this issue, but also on other societal values that may have to be reevaluated in the new light of neurocriminology. What does the future hold for us?

FIGURE 3.4 : Bird’s-eye view showing reduced prefrontal functioning (top of PET scan), specifically in a reactive murderer compared with a proactive murderer and a normal control. Red and yellow indicate higher brain functioning.
