This conference is
concerned
with the contributions
that
behavioral scientists
are
making to the
problem
of
crime in
our
society. In an
effort
to further
understanding
and
control
of
crime
and
the
criminal justice process, behavioral
scientists have recently
become
more
involved on a practical level as well as
more
active in directing
theory
and
research efforts
toward
these matters.
The
proposed
conference will
cover
these
developments
as well as
advances
in
related areas like social psychology, personality theory, psychophysical processes
and
the uses of
psychotherapy.
the
conference
will, in this way,
help
foster a
conceptualization
and
re-focusing of the
developing
field of forensic psychology
as well as present
some
of these
new
efforts
and
issues to
the
scientific
community.
The
conference
will
be
particularly focused on areas in
which
behavioral scientists
have
been
making substantial contributions:
competency
to
stand
trial, issues
of
psychological evidence, crisis intervention
and
hostage
negotiation, violence
and
the family, treating the offender,
and
crime
and
the
media. In
the
last session of the conference, the theoretical
and
experimental
findings of the
conference
participants will
be
related
to philosophical, social
and
ethical considerations
that
are relevant in dealing
with
human
nature,
crime
and
society.
