Research led by Dementia Law Network co-founder, Dr Fiona Kumfor, sheds light on the prevalence of behaviours in dementia that may be perceived as criminal offending. Timely assessment and intervention strategies are needed to avoid inappropriate punitive responses and provide suitable supports for people living with dementia and carers. See F Kumfor et al (2024) Examining the propensity and nature of criminal risk behaviours in frontotemporal dementia syndromes and Alzheimer's disease Alz & Dementia 16(2): e12577.
