This episode I'm talking with world-renowned forensic psychologist, Professor James Ogloff, about our punitive prison system, the causes of criminal behaviour, and how we can lower our high recidivism rate. For over 20 years, Professor Ogloff was a director of Forensicare, Victoria's leading provider of forensic mental health services. He has published 18 books, over 350 academic articles, and has just taken up his new role as the Dean of Health Sciences at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. Jim talks about the toxic and highly masculine environments in our prison system which fuel violent behaviour. He explains why it's vital to provide the right support to offenders, during and after their incarceration, which is focussed on rehabilitation and reintegration. This compassionate approach is not just for the wellbeing of individuals who offend, but for the wellbeing of our society as a whole. So sit back for a truly insightful and fascinating discussion with Professor James Ogloff
