In Scotland he was the first mental health professional to be a Board Member of the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC), he was the National Clinical Lead for Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and Sexual Offending, and he was the first expert accredited by the Risk Management Authority (RMA) to assess risk in serious violent and sexual offenders being considered for indeterminate sentencing in the High Court of Justiciary. He has extensive experience assessing and treating people who have committed violence, homicide, and/or sexual abuse, and people with mental illnesses, personality disorders, developmental disorders and/or paraphilic disorders in criminal justice, clinical and legal settings. This includes assessments of people who have committed serious sexual and violent offences for post-sentence supervision and detention across multiple Australian jurisdictions. His current research is on sexual homicide, online child sexual abuse, and atypical homicide. He has written over 90 academic publications, including chapters in recent/forthcoming international textbooks on sexual homicide, online child sexual abuse, the problem behaviour model, pharmacological treatment of sexual offenders, sexual sadism, paedophilia, multi-agency management of high risk sexual and violent offenders, and serial murder. He is co-author of the Risk for Sexual Violence Protocol - Version 2 (RSVP-V2). He has been training professionals in using Structured Professional Judgement (SPJ) approaches to risk assessment and management for over 15 years.
