Offending in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders
People with neurodevelopmental disorders have long been considered vulnerable to engaging in serious offending behaviours including physical assaults, criminal damage, stalking, rapes, homicides and fire setting. This full-day training will focus on providing an overview of neurodevelopment disorders, exploring common pathways that lead to offending, exploring issues around the motivation for offending, and measures that can be implemented to improve rehabilitative outcomes in forensic settings.
Training will be facilitated by David Thomas, psychiatrist with the Victorian Institute for Forensic Mental Health (Forensicare) and Hon Research Fellow with the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science.
