It has been suggested that neuroenhancements could be used to improve the abilities of criminal justice authorities. Judges could be made more able to make adequately informed and unbiased decisions, for example. Yet, while such a prospect appears appealing, the views of neuroenhanced criminal justice authorities could also be alien to the unenhanced public. This could compromise the legitimacy and functioning of the criminal justice system. In this article, I assess possible solutions to this problem.

Yet I also suggest that, depending on contingent empirical circumstances, the responses – either singly or together – can sometimes amount to a sufficient answer to it.

已经提出，可以使用神经增强来提高刑事司法机关的能力。例如，可以使法官更有能力作出充分知情和公正的决定。然而，尽管这样的前景似乎很诱人，但神经增强的刑事司法当局的观点也可能与未增强的公众有所不同。这可能会损害刑事司法系统的合法性和功能。在本文中，我评估了此问题的可能解决方案。我坚持认为，没有一个方法可以作为令人满意的一般解决方案，至少在大多数情况下，可以合理地采用该解决方案来解决该问题或足以解决该问题。但是我还建议，根据偶然的经验情况，
