There is a high chance that inmate Brown’s mental illness and history of trauma is related to his criminal offending. This can be said without a doubt because according to our study material ppt, 75-93% of the young people who are incarcerated have experienced trauma of one or the other type. It has been also observed that some people have a high resilient ability and thus bounce back from the traumatic experiences quickly. While others face long lasting issues which interrupt with normal development and have long term effects. It is very much true that the brain is physically changed and affected by the environment. In Brown’s case we already know that he is a victim of complex trauma (McLaughlin, Koenen, Hill, Petukhova, Sampson, Zaslavsky, & Kessler, 2013).
