Kim Gorgens

Kim Gorgens, a neuropsychologist, dives into the startling link between brain injuries and criminal behavior. She reveals that a staggering 50-80% of people in the US criminal justice system have experienced traumatic brain injuries, compared to less than 5% in the general public. Gorgens discusses how these injuries can alter behavior, particularly in women affected by interpersonal violence. She advocates for a more compassionate justice system that addresses these underlying issues, promoting effective rehabilitation and safer communities.
