Crime: Its Cause and Treatment

Drawing on more than four decades of courtroom experience, the author offers a thoughtful exploration of why people commit unlawful acts. He weaves together legal insight with the latest scientific thinking on psychology, biology, and philosophy, presenting crime as a phenomenon that can be examined through the same natural laws that govern the physical world. The tone remains modest, acknowledging that many of the conclusions may still be debated, yet it invites listeners to consider the mind as a function of the broader nervous system rather than an isolated mystery.

The work challenges the traditional moral framing of criminal behavior, suggesting instead that “criminal” actions stem from functional defects within the human structure and its interaction with the environment. By treating crime as a medical and social issue, the author argues for more humane, evidence‑based responses rather than simple condemnation. Listeners will find a compelling case for rethinking justice, one that emphasizes understanding and treatment over punishment.
