“…Three studies were entered into the meta-analysis (See Online Figure 3 ). Two studies favored offender group, offenders made poorer decisions than controls (Bouchard, Brown, & Nadeau, 2012 ; Kasar et al, 2010 ) with one study favoring control (Brown et al, 2016 ). The overall effect was not significant (MD = −2.99, 95% CI, −6.32, 0.34).…”

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Decision-Making in Offender Populations with Mental Disorder

Decision-making has many different definitions and is measured in varied ways using neuropsychological tasks. Offenders with mental disorder habitually make disadvantageous decisions, but no study has systematically appraised the literature. This review aimed to clarify the field by bringing together different neuropsychological measures of decision-making, and using meta-analysis and systematic review to explore the performance of offenders with mental disorders on neuropsychological tasks of decision-making. A structured search of PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Medline, Cinahl was conducted with additional hand searching and grey literature consulted. Controlled studies of decision-making in offenders with evidence of any mental disorder, including a validated measure of decision-making were included. Total score on each relevant decision-making task was collated. Twenty-three studies met inclusion criteria ( n = 1820), and 10 studies (with 15 experiments) were entered into the meta-analysis ( n = 841). All studies included in the meta-analysis used the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) to measure decision-making. Systematic review findings from individual studies showed violent offenders made poorer decisions than matched offender groups or controls. An omnibus meta-analysis was computed to examine performance on IGT in offenders with mental disorder compared with controls. Additionally, two sub-group meta-analyses were computed for studies involving offenders with personality disorder and psychopathy, and recidivists who were convicted of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Individual studies not included in the meta-analysis partially supported the view that offenders make poorer decisions. However, the meta-analyses showed no significant differences in performance on IGT between the offender groups and controls. Further research is required to ascertain whether offenders with mental disorder have difficulty in making advantageous decisions. An analysis of cause and effect and various directions for future work are recommended to help understand the underpinning of these findings. Trial Registration: CRD42018088402 .

“…Drinking and driving interventions may benefit from incorporating strategies designed to either target implicit cognitions or increase levels of executive functioning. The latter may be of particular importance in heavy-drinking drinking and driving recidivists, many of whom exhibit clinically significant cognitive (Glass et al, 2000; Ouimet et al, 2007) and decision making (Bouchard et al, 2012) deficits. A substantial body of research has identified two such techniques—cognitive bias modification and cognitive control training—that show promise for improving treatment outcomes for a variety of disorders and behaviors, including alcohol and substance use (Wiers et al, 2013), via cognitive and behavioral mechanisms.…”

“…For example, early psychometric research [18,34] found evidence for a relationship between DWI and sensation seeking in males, who are over-represented among DWI offenders, while neuropsychological studies primarily with male DWI offenders have detected weaknesses in several dimensions of executive control [e.g., [9,14,29]]. Nevertheless, recent systematic sex-based analysis failed to support the specificity of these dimensions to male offenders [10].…”

Some sex differences have been detected in driving while impaired by alcohol (DWI) offenders. However, understanding of the key factors contributing to DWI among male and female drivers remains elusive, limiting development of targeted interventions. Sex-based neurocognitive analyses could provide the much-needed insight. We examined whether male DWI offenders show cortical thickness anomalies that differ from those in female DWI offenders, when compared to their respective controls. Moderating role of sex and alcohol use on DWI status was also investigated. Sixty-one DWI offenders (29 male; 32 female) and 58 controls (29 male; 29 female) completed an anatomical brain scan and assessments on other relevant characteristics. Only male DWI offenders had reduced cortical thickness in the right dorsal posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), a region involved in cognitive control. Lower cortical thickness was associated with increased odds of DWI status only among males who have not engaged in very hazardous pattern of alcohol misuse in the previous 12 months. Thus, for these male DWI drivers, interventions that could impact PCC could be most advantageous. Continued multidimensional sex analysis of the neural characteristics of male and female DWI offenders is warranted.
