IN-CJ Newsdesk 2023 – Perspectives on Psychopathy and Recidivism

In this session of the IN-CJ Newsdesk 2023, Dr Chelsey Narvey shared insights from her work into psychopathy, and how policies and practices within criminal justice systems address recidivism among offenders. Chelsey explored the links between associated forms of violence, such as anti-social behaviour and domestic violence, and explained how examples of attuned and well-organised mental health awareness and knowledge of the processes that drive psychopathy can reduce criminal behaviour and harm to others and the individuals themselves. This session draws on Chelsey’s emerging research at Sam Houston University.
