Dr Clare Allely - The Psychology of Mass Shooters
On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof killed nine people at an Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. In this talk, Dr Clare Allely will look to show how we can understand Roof's progression towards mass shooting. She will discuss the techniques professionals use to identify individuals who may be vulnerable and at-risk, and talk about interventions and support that can help prevent such extreme violence.
Dr Clare Allely is a Reader in Forensic Psychology at the University of Salford and an affiliate member of the Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre (GNC) at Gothenburg University, Sweden. Dr Allely holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Manchester, having previously graduated with an MA (hons.) in Psychology from the University of Glasgow, an MRes in Psychological Research Methods from the University of Strathclyde and an MSc degree in Forensic Psychology from Glasgow Caledonian University
