Kurt is joined by Dr David Junior Gilbert from the University of Salford in the UK. He is a University Fellow researching the intersection of FASD and the criminal justice system. His research focuses on factors that make individuals with FASD more vulnerable to involvement in the criminal justice system, such as confabulation, suggestibility, compliance, and acquiescence. Dr. Gilbert is leading a larger international study examining these issues in multiple countries, aiming to provide scientific evidence to support decision-making in the justice system.
