Preventing, reducing and investigating criminality and exploitation

We apply the principles of forensic and investigative psychology to conduct research and evaluation aimed at preventing, reducing and investigating violent crime and exploitation.

Our cross-disciplinary work provides services in policing, probation, prison, legal, education, mental health, and charitable sectors. With expertise in both quantitative and qualitative methods, we seek to understand criminal behaviour, evaluate interventions, and explore innovative ways to reduce violence and exploitation.

We work in partnership with practitioners, ensuring our approach is tailored to meet the individual needs of each project. We welcome informal discussions to find out how we can provide insight regarding violence reduction, safeguarding, and the prevention of exploitation.
