- Raine et al (1997)Studying brain abnormalities in murders- Evaluation
- Large sample size with a match group meaning confident conclusions
- Strict controls so can be repeated
- Can be generalised as done on murders and none murders
- High ecological validity as conducted in natural environment
- Scientific so objective
- Can find cause and effect as well controlled
- Objective PET scans of brain activity, difficult to interpret accurately
- Social factors not considered
- Difficult to generalise to robbers and other criminals
- Still dont know if murders become murders due to genetics or environmental factors
- Expensive experiment
- Only in early days of PET scans so hard to interpret
