Improving the Outcomes of Anger Management Programs for Violent Offenders: The Role of Perspective-Taking Deficits in Violent Crime

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Criminal justice systems have increasingly identified violent offenders as a key target group for rehabilitation programs. Anger management or violence programs have been widely implemented in Australia. However, recent research evaluating program outcomes suggests that the overall impact of these programs is low. The aim of the proposed project is to develop new and more effective interventions for violent offenders by examining the role of perspective taking deficits in angry and violent behaviour. The research will therefore contribute directly to the reduction of violent crime and improved community safety in Australia.
