A Talk by Prof Allely on Autistic Juveniles in the Criminal Justice System 'Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sexual Offending (Online and Offline) and Terrorist-Related Behaviours'
About this Event

SASO Glasgow and West is delighted to host Professor Clare Allely for an important discussion on young people with ASD's vulnerabilities in the criminal justice system.


Rather than being the perpetrators of offending, individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to be the victim of crime. However, there is nevertheless a small subset of individuals with ASD who do offend. In this session , Professor Allely will provide some understanding of how certain features of ASD may provide the context of vulnerability to engaging in a sexual offending (offline and online) and terroristic behaviours and involvement with online extremist groups.


Clare Allely is a Professor of Forensic Psychology at the University of Salford in England and is an affiliate member of the Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre at Gothenburg University, Sweden. Clare is an Honorary Research Fellow in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences affiliated to the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow. Clare acts as an expert witness in criminal cases involving defendants with autism spectrum disorder and is also a Consultant for the Irish Pr*son Service. She is author of the book “The Psychology of Extreme Violence: A Case Study Approach to Serial Homicide, Mass Shooting, School Shooting and Lone-actor Terrorism” published by Routledge in 2020 and author of the book “Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Criminal Justice System: A Guide to Understanding Suspects, Defendants and Offenders with Autism” published by Routledge in 2022. Clare is also part of the FASD at Salford Hub at the University of Salford which is the leading centre for FASD research in the UK. Clare’s research also explores the pathway to intended violence in extreme acts of violence such as mass shootings, school shootings and self-initiated terrorist attacks. She is increasingly interested in the threat assessment and management of extreme acts of violence.


Our seminar will provide an invaluable opportunity to hear of Professor Allely’s findings and to allow us to reflect on what they mean for our own practice. A facilitated Q&A will commence after Professor Allely's talk.
