From: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> To: Marc Hauser Subject: Re: follow up Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:25:19 +0000 I think your better place and future is with all the money now wasted on charter schools.. you can posit that individivalss have different learning methods. these methods MUST be front and center , so one is not attempting to insert Apple software in to Pc hardware. tough example, I belive afro american learn kinestically, . if you let them jump around the class. they will do better.. the first thing we do is tell them to sit in one place and listen.. you can deal with the gender differnces in math learning. STAY away from criminal work. It will be bad for you. I cannot do that as a test... no amount is carved out by definition , but it is totally up to you tonegotiate terms and condititions.

Brain plasticity, self-control, and the reduction of career criminals I. career criminals cost society $1-2 million dollars each. 2. career criminals reveal signature of self-control problem: repeated offenses despite punishments, interventions, etc. Self-control problems are the single best predictor of career criminals 3. capacity for self-control matures over development; youths have best shot of change due to neural plasticity 4. if we can prevent youth crimes or arrest recidivism, massive savings; this is an international problem, so there is opportunity for EFTA00915854  work abroad as well. 5. early assessments of self-control are highly predictive of future delinquency 6, self-control as an exhaustible short term resource... like fast twitch muscles 7. self-control like long term slow muscle for strength and support and can be strengthened 8. we have powerfully reliable and predictive assessment tools for self-control 9. we have a rich set of tasks that can improve self-control, specifically targeting brain plasticity and mechanisms for inhibitory regulation. Put 1-9 together and we have a model for both early prevention of crimes as well as for reducing recidivism. Goal: to develop more sophisticated, computer-based tools to assess and intervene on self-control and reduce crime, especially the number of career criminals that cost society millions of dollars. best, marc The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
