In addition, we work with the client and barrister to develop psychological reports. These may enhance legal counsel’s presentation of the client’s case in mitigation and provides valuable information to assist the judge in sentencing.

These reports comprise expert commentary about client’s life history and considers the client’s mental state and criminogenic factors at the time of offending and the time of the interview.

In developing this report, reliable and valid psychometric assessment instruments are used and are combined with relevant research findings.

This service often includes treatment of relevant clinical disorders. It has been found that the addition of clinical treatment may increase the likelihood of a more favourable sentence.
