The health and developmental determinants of adolescent criminalisation

Professorial Fellow Nathan Hughes, Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, UK. The highly esteemed Professor Hughes was awarded a University of Otago William Evans Fellowship in 2018. Professor Hughes' research examines the influence of health and developmental difficulties on the risk of criminality and criminalisation among young people and young adults, with a particular focus on experiences of neurodevelopmental disorders and traumatic brain injury. Strong international evidence shows that neurodevelopmental disability, poor mental health, trauma, and experiences of child maltreatment all appear to increase the risk of exposure to criminal justice systems in adolescence. Come along to find out more about the persuasive evidence that could influence approaches to reforms relating to criminalisation on the basis of health and developmental difficulties.
