In doing so, they present the first accessible analysis of behavioral jurisprudence, which will fundamentally alter how we understand the connection between law and human behavior. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Behavioral Code\u003c\/i\u003e offers a necessary and different approach to battling crime and injustice that is based in understanding the science of human misconduct--rather than relying on our instinctual drive to punish as a way to shape behavior.
