Behavioural analysis of criminal law exploits social science methodologies (behavioural economics, psychology and even sociology) to explore the effects of criminal law norms on criminals, judges, juries and other decision-makers, to determine the optimal type and size of criminal sanctions, to identify the optimal design of the enforcement system and the rules of evidence. Behavioural analysis...

The notion of bounded rationality has recently gained considerable popularity in the behavioural and social sciences. This article surveys the different usages of the term, in particular the way ‘anomalous’ behavioural phenomena are elicited, how these phenomena are incorporated in model building, and what sort of new theories of behaviour have been developed to account for bounded rationality ...

Fine grained behavioural models of humans in a context, such as associates in an organization or a consumer group may allow us to both better understand existing behaviour as well as what would happen given various situations. We have been working on a behaviour compositional approach to this problem which creates realistic agent behaviour models that when run as a simulation allows us to under...

Abstract Interventions are to the social sciences what inventions physical – an application of science as technology. Behavioural has emerged a powerful toolkit for developing public policy interventions changing behaviour. However, translation from principles practice is often moderated by contextual factors such culture that thwart attempts generalize past successes. Here, we discuss cultural...

For almost a century the field of brain and behavioural asymmetries has been dominated by studies on humans, resting on the evidence that the anatomical structures underlying language functions are asymmetrical, and that human handedness is lateralized at the population level. Today, there is not only evidence of population-level lateralization of brain and behaviour across a variety of vertebr...
