Neurodivergence in criminal justice 10.10.2024

Join us for our annual crime conference for 2024, this year exploring neurodivergence in criminal justice.

At a time of ever-increasing pressure for those who work with neurodivergence, this conference will be a opportunity to learn and explore some of the current issues and solutions.

We will be covering the following topics:

• Is the criminal justice system fit for purpose?
• Managing at court
• Risk assessment 
• Victims and witnesses 
   

Katie is a Reader in Psychology and Deputy Director of the Centre for Applied Autism Research (CAAR) at the University of Bath. Her research focuses on autistic people’s experiences within the Criminal Justice System and the adaptations that police and other professionals can make to accommodate their differences. She has particular expertise regarding police interviewing techniques and is currently leading a three-year ESRC-funded project extending this work to examine how autistic people can be supported to provide their best evidence in court. Katie works with policy makers, police and other legal professionals to provide evidence-based policy, guidance and training when working with autistic people.

Katie’s presentation will include:

• Research to date on autism and police interviewing 
• Implications for court
• Measuring Special Measures

With an opportunity to ask questions throughout, this promises to be an interactive and engaging session. If you would like to submit your questions or topics prior to the webinar please include these during registration or contact events@stoneking.co.uk.
