Behave (the book we will focus on today) was a NYT bestseller, winner of the LA Times Book Prize, and one of the Washington Post’s 10 Best Books of the Year. David Barash of the Wall Street Journal said Behave was “one of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read.” Dina Temple-Raston of the Washington Post said, “Immensely readable, often hilarious… Hands down one of the best books I’ve read in years.”
Professor Sapolsky realized early on that his work had clear implications for our criminal legal system. He has participated as an expert in homicide trials, and has been invited to give lectures and participate in conferences with judges and others in the criminal legal system. He has also published on these issues, including the outstanding paper, “The Frontal Cortex and the Criminal Justice System.”
