Offending in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder
About
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 workshop 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.This full-day workshop is suitable for clinicians working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and other neurodevelopmental disorders in contact with the justice system. If you have questions about your suitability for this workshop, please contact FMHPDP@forensicare.vic.gov.au
Training will be facilitated by Dr David Thomas, psychiatrist with the Victorian Institute for Forensic Mental Health (Forensicare) and Hon. Research Fellow with the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science.
