Concept Note and about the speaker
Clinical criminology is an interdisciplinary field that applies psychological, psychiatric, and criminological principles to the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of mentally ill and offenders. It integrates clinical expertise with criminological theory to understand the psychological and behavioural factors contributing to criminal conduct. By employing diagnostic tools, risk assessments, and therapeutic interventions, clinical criminologists aim to prevent recidivism and promote reintegration into society.
This field is particularly relevant in mental health and forensic settings, where practitioners evaluate offenders’ mental health, criminal responsibility, and competency to stand trial. Clinical criminology also contributes to policy development, advocating for evidence-based approaches to criminal justice that balance public safety with rehabilitation and integration. Through its application, it seeks to bridge the gap between mental health services and criminal justice systems, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of crime and its underlying causes.
