Harm and Stigma Prevention in Forensic Psychology (HASP-FP)

Description

Harm and Stigma Prevention in Forensic Psychology (HASP-FP) is a multidisciplinary research group at Nottingham Trent University made up of academic researchers and practitioner psychologists. They focus on topics within forensic psychology, with a dedication to evidence-based practices and to making a tangible difference for those involved in their research and for stakeholders engaged in forensic practice. HASP-FP is an evolution of the former Sexual Offences, Crime and Misconduct Research Unit, which worked in the area of sexual crime and its treatment and prevention; the work of forensic staff within NTU Psychology now encompasses a far broader range of topics, and HASP-FP represents a new structure for this work. The group is arranged into three strands: Sexual Interests and Behaviours; Relational Abuse, including intimate partner violence and stalking; and Responsive Forensic Practice, including service and intervention evaluations, rehabilitative cultures, and neurodiversity and mental health in forensic settings. Staff involved in the group also lead and teach the MSc in Forensic Psychology, and its doctoral community includes candidates on a standard PhD route and Registered Forensic Psychologists pursuing a DPsych in Forensic Psychology. Its organisational partners include His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), NOTA Scotland, the Safer Living Foundation, i3Analytics and the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
