This postgraduate diploma provides a multidisciplinary understanding of the connection between mental disorder and criminal behaviour, and the approaches for reducing violence through appropriate care and management of those at risk of offending. It encompasses approaches from forensic psychology, psychiatry, criminology and sociology as well as public health.We offer you a distinctive psychosocial focus, a key component of current Ministry of Justice and Department of Health Policy. This approach helps you to reflect on your own experiences and practice in a way that develops your skills as a clinician, researcher or leader in the field, as well as providing a framework for safe and therapeutic work with offenders.
