摘要

外伤性脑损伤(TBI)发生时,头部受到外部打击,导致大脑正常功能中断。诸如此类的伤害不仅增加了个人卷入刑事司法系统的风险,而且可能使其更难以在法律系统内导航。不幸的是,公设辩护人可能并不熟悉他们的客户所面临的TBI挑战。本研究旨在探讨公设辩护人对创伤性脑损伤症状和体征的熟悉程度。此外,该研究还调查了公设辩护人在法律体系中认识到TBI的普遍性和影响的程度。这项研究包括一项14项的电子调查,分发给明尼苏达州的所有公设辩护人。结果发现,公设辩护人对TBI的症状、患病率和对法律制度的影响的熟悉程度差异很大。虽然大多数受访者没有接受过任何关于创伤性脑损伤的高级培训,但大多数人认为这种培训对他们的客户有益。这项研究清楚地表明,需要对受创伤性脑损伤影响的被告进行更多的认知、记忆和行为障碍方面的培训

Perceptions of Traumatic Brain Injury among Public Defenders in the State ofMinnesota
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external blow to the head causes a disruption in the normal functioning of the brain. Injuries such as these not only increase the risk of involvement with the criminal justice system for the individual, but also may make it more difficult to navigate within the legal system. Unfortunately, public defenders may not be familiar with the challenges of TBI their clients face. The aim of this study is to explore the familiarity of public defenders with the signs and symptoms of TBI. Additionally, the study investigates the degree to which public defenders recognize the prevalence and impacts of TBI in the legal system. The study consisted of a 14-item electronic survey distributed to all public defenders in Minnesota. Results found that public defenders varied widely in their familiarity with TBI’s symptoms, prevalence, and impacts in the legal system. Although the majority of respondents had not received any advanced training on TBI, most believed such training would be beneficial for their clients. This study clearly shows a need for more training on cognitive, memory, and behavioural impairments experienced by defendants who have been impacted by TBI
