Outcomes from the Moroka Program
The Moroka Program is a dialectical behaviour therapy-informed residential treatment programme for incarcerated people residing in men’s prisons who exhibit complex behaviour. The Moroka Program is three months’ duration and was designed to incorporate various features of DBT. Participants included those who commenced the Moroka Program and consented to research between April 2023 and April 2024 (n = 17). Data analysis included descriptive statis…
Expert assessment of children’s criminal capacity
Recognising children as developing individuals, legal systems generally protect children from full criminal liability. Further to the minimum age of criminal responsibility, several jurisdictions include additional legal safeguards under the doctrine of doli incapax. This doctrine presumes that children within conditional age ranges (e.g. 10–13 years) are incapable of criminal intent, unless proven otherwise. Courts may seek expert assessment of …
A real-world validation of the Risk for Sexual Violence Protocol (RSVP)
This study assessed the concurrent and predictive validity of clinician judgements made using the Risk for Sexual Violence Protocol (RSVP) in routine practice, and examined how they used the guideline. Risk assessments were accessed from the files of 100 men referred to an Australian community forensic mental health service due to sexual violence. Predictive validity was examined at four time points based on police charges, though only 5 men reof…
Are feigning screens “competent to stand trial”? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test, Atypical Presentation Scales, and Structured Inventory of Mal…
Objective: Competency to stand trial evaluations represent the most common psycho-legal assessment in the United States.Notwithstanding, evaluators may face additional complexity when they suspect malingering or overreporting of psychopathology.Despite the importance of routine screening for overreporting, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the most appropriate screening tool for this context.This systematic review and meta-analysis soug…
The predictive validity of the Stalking Risk Profile in everyday practice
The Stalking Risk Profile (SRP) is a structured professional judgment guideline to help practitioners evaluate and respond to risks associated with stalking. Using a sample of 217 Australian adults referred to a community forensic mental health service, this study examined the predictive validity of SRP risk judgments made by assessing clinicians. Discrimination, classification, and prediction statistics were examined at 12-month intervals over a…
A Systematic Review of Risk Assessment Measures for Adolescent Family Violence
Adolescent family violence (AFV) has become a topic of increasing attention, yet our understanding of how to assess the risk of future family violence among this cohort is limited. This systematic review aimed to determine what risk assessment tools have been validated for use with AFV and investigate their predictive validity. It also sought to determine whether the literature adhered to the Risk Assessment Guidelines for the Evaluation of Effic…
The Limits of Predicting Near Lethal and Lethal Family and Intimate Partner Violence
Group Conferencing is Associated with Lower Rates of Repeated Recidivism Among Higher-Risk Youth and There are Enhanced Effects Based on Who Attended the Conference
We examined criminal records across adolescence for a sample of young people processed through a statewide Children’s Court ( N = 2366) between 2012 and 2018, some of who were referred to a group conferencing program ( n = 836). We also examined associations between different program elements and subsequent rates of recidivism, including victim, police, and family participation in the conference process. Recurrent-event survival analysis indicate…
An Exploration of Risk Factors for Further Police Contact Among Females Known for Online Child Sexual Exploitation Offenses
Despite increases in online child sexual exploitation (OCSE) internationally, no study has examined risk factors for re‐offending among females who perpetrate OCSE, resulting in limited knowledge regarding the idiosyncratic needs of this cohort. This study explored factors predictive of further police contact among 116 females known to police for OCSE offenses in Victoria, Australia. Four binary regressions were run for each of Any, Violent, and …
The Validity of the Odara in Australian Intimate Partner Violence Cases Without Prior Assault/Credible Threat or Cohabitation
This study investigated whether the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment (ODARA) is effective in the assessment of risk in male intimate partner violence (IPV) cases that do not meet the inclusion criteria used in the ODARA’s development sample (presence of prior assault or threat by perpetrator and previous cohabitation with the victim). Australian police scored the ODARA in 275 IPV cases without one or both of these characteristics, with re…
Competencies for rehabilitation professionals working with ideology-based terrorism offenders
Selection of competent personnel is critical to in terrorism rehabilitation efforts. Elucidating the characteristics of effective rehabilitation staff and determining personal and professional competencies has however been neglected. This study seeks to systematically identify competencies needed for staffs working with terrorism offenders in Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews with Indonesian counterterrorism experts, practitioners, and profes…
The cross-cultural fairness of the LS/RNR
OBJECTIVE: Cross-cultural research into risk assessment instruments has often identified comparable levels of discrimination. However, cross-cultural fairness is rarely addressed. Therefore, this study explored the discrimination and fairness of the Level of Service/Risk, Need, Responsivity (LS/RNR) within a sample of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males. HYPOTHESES: We hypothesized that discri…
Emergency department presentations in the first weeks following release from prison among men with a history of injecting drug use in Victoria, Australia
The Effect of Time Spent in Prison and Coping Styles on Psychological Distress in Inmates
Imprisonment can be an intensely stressful experience, and efforts to limit distress are critical to prevent adverse events such as suicide. This study examined whether time spent in prison predicted psychological distress in young adult and adult prisoners, and whether coping style moderated this relationship. While time spent in prison was not associated with distress, the use of avoidance coping was associated with higher levels of prisoner di…
Testing the Factor Structure of the Psychopathy Checklist
Although psychopathy is a correlate of recidivism, including violent offending, the inclusion of antisocial behavior items in the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL) assessment instruments has been debated. Further, the latent factor structure underpinning the PCL measures has not been comprehensively validated in Australia. This study examined the construct validity of the PCL:SV in a sample of 192 Australian male violent offenders using structural equa…

Are Psychological Treatments for Adults With Histories of Violent Offending Associated With Change in Dynamic Risk Factors? A Meta-Analysis of Intermediate Treatment Outcomes
This meta-analysis examined whether psychological treatments delivered to adults with histories of violent offending in correctional and forensic mental health settings were related to change in dynamic risk factors. Twenty-two controlled studies (86% comprised male samples) were identified via a comprehensive search. Treatments had a significant effect overall, with small to moderate improvements in trait anger, social problem solving, impulsivi…
Implementing evidence-based practice in policing family violence
Frontline police officers who attend domestic violence incidents face a considerable challenge in effectively determining the extent to which limited police resources should be invested in further assessment and management of a case to ensure safety. Assessing the risk of future family violence has been proposed as a way of deciding which cases police should focus their management efforts on. However, risk assessment based on police judgement alo…
The Impact of Fact‐Based Instructions on Juror Application of the Law
Objective Over the past five decades, numerous researchers in common‐law jurisdictions have reported that jurors often fail to understand and apply the law presented to them by the trial judge. Several researchers have attempted to improve understanding of the law through revising language and utilizing instructional aides. The present study examines a novel method of instructing the jury, known as the “fact‐based” approach, which embeds legal co…
The Prison and Transition Health (Path) Cohort Study
People who inject drugs (PWID) are disproportionately represented among individuals who experience imprisonment and often have more complex physical and mental health needs than people in prison without injecting histories. The trajectories of PWID after prison release are poorly understood, hampering the development of effective strategies to address their distinct health needs. The Prison and Transition Health (PATH) Cohort Study is characteris…

Lifetime prevalence and correlates of self-harm and suicide attempts among male prisoners with histories of injecting drug use
BACKGROUND: Histories of self-harm and suicide attempts are common among people in prison in Australia, and substance dependence is an established risk factor for these lifetime experiences. We describe the prevalence of self-reported history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts in a cohort of men with recent histories of injecting drug use (IDU) imprisoned in Victoria, Australia. Baseline interviews from the Prison and Transit…
The associations of poor psychiatric well-being among incarcerated men with injecting drug use histories in Victoria, Australia
BACKGROUND: Dual substance dependence and psychiatric and psychological morbidities are overrepresented in prison populations and associated with reoffending. In the context of an increasing prison population in Australia, investigating the needs of vulnerable people in prison with a dual diagnosis can help inform in-prison screening and treatment and improve prison and community service integration and continuation of care. In this study we quan…
Are Australian prisons meeting the needs of Indigenous offenders
The over-representation of Indigenous Australians in custody is well documented, yet little is known about whether the health and social needs of Indigenous prisoners are met in correctional facilities. This study sought to identify common areas of need in a representative sample of Indigenous people in custody, and consider how well prison services were addressing these issues. The sample comprised 122 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peopl…
Procedural justice in victim-police interactions and victims' recovery from victimisation experiences
The vast majority of studies to date have documented a negative impact associated with contacts between the police and victims of crime. In contrast, this qualitative study examined how victim-police interactions, specifically perceptions of procedural justice (fair treatment by police) can help victims reduce the trauma associated with the crime and help them recover from the negative psychological consequences of victimisation experiences. In-d…
Procedural justice in contacts with the police
A relational model of authority (Tyler & Lind, 1992) emphasizes the role of procedural justice (the fairness of methods used to achieve outcomes) in public support for and evaluation of the police. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, this study tested the model in the context of victim-police interactions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 110 people who had reported a crime (personal or property) to the police in the previous …
Towards best practice
Limitations of instruments adopting consensus and actuarial approaches are well documented when assessing risk of abusive behaviour. Whilst the consensus approach is flexible and useful for structuring information, it relies upon the practitioner's ability to combine information and apply knowledge of empirical research. The actuarial approach involves a graduated probability measure in the form of a score that determines the likelihood of a part…
Elucidation of impulsivity
Despite the widespread use of the term “impulsivity” in virtually every field of psychology, the concept is both poorly defined and misunderstood. Beyond some general reference to reduced impulse control, considerable ambiguity surrounds what exactly is meant by “impulsive”. The ambiguity has largely arisen from disagreement concerning the processes that cause this rapid, spontaneous, excessive, and unplanned behaviour. The aims of the present pa…

Mock Juror Ratings of Guilt in Canada
This research investigated whether the prejudicial attitudes of mock jurors in Canada produce criminal sanction disparities similar to those reported by research in the United States. In order to investigate this hypothesis, English Canadian participants read a transcript of a sexual assault trial that varied the ethnic background of both the victim and the defendant (i.e., English, French or Native Canadian). Participants were then asked to rate…
Attitudes Toward and Desire for Assisted Suicide among Persons with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This study aimed at investigating attitudes toward assisted suicide among individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the differences in health status (illness severity and functional disability) and psychosocial adjustment (depression, perceived stress, social support, and coping) between those in favor of and those against assisted suicide. This study also aimed at describing the characteristics of terminally-ill individuals who acknowl…
Stuck in the dark ages
In the latter quarter of the 20th century, the United States Supreme Court has generally refused to narrow the procedural and substantive conditions under which adults may be sentenced to death for capital murder. The current status of social science evidence is briefly reviewed to evaluate the Court's treatment of 3 specific categories of evidence: the death-qualified jury, prejudicial capital sentencing, and juror comprehension of capital-sente…

Forensic Psychological Assessments
This chapter provides an introduction to the field of clinical forensic psychology. It focuses on four general topics. First, we provide a definition of forensic psychology and a discussion of how it fits within clinical psychology, arguing that psychologists who work in the field of forensic psychology must have specialized training and experience in the field. Second, we discuss the legal parameters within which forensic assessments are conduct…
Procedural justice in contacts with the police
This study examined perceptions of procedural justice (the fairness of methods used to achieve outcomes) in contacts with the police among victims of crime. In-depth interviews were conducted with 110 people who reported a crime (personal and property) to the police in the previous 12 months. The findings indicated that police willingness to do their best to solve the case and police relating to victims as persons independently of the case itself…

Correlates of criminal victimisation among police cell detainees in Victoria, Australia
People with mental illness are more likely to be crime victims than others; however, little is known about the relationship between offending and victimisation among mentally ill offenders. This study investigated the rates and types of victimisation among people detained in police cells (N = 764), with and without histories of mental illness. Those with mental disorders were 1.56 times (95% CI = 1.11–2.17) more likely to be victims of violent cr…

The nature of police involvement in mental health transfers
During the course of their duties, police regularly have contact with mentally ill persons who are experiencing psychiatric crisis and require some form of mental health transfer. This study examined 2611 unique mental health transfers completed by police in the Australian state of Victoria over an eight-month period in 2009–2010. The overwhelming majority of mental health transfers performed by police during this period were the result of unplan…
