Mindfulness July 1, 2021 Arturo Ron-Grajales, Araceli Sanz-Martin, Rubén David Castañeda-Torres et al.
A 10-week mindfulness meditation training program improved inhibitory control in young male offenders aged 16–23 who had committed violent crimes. Compared to a control group, those who completed the training showed increased reaction times on the Stop-signal task and fewer errors on the Stroop task, indicating better inhibitory control. The findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may help reduce violent behavior in this population.
