Exploring how gendered-informed, trauma-informed approaches can strengthen prevention, rehabilitation and justice outcomes.
Join Clinks for the launch of a new evidence review by Dr Sophie King-Hill, Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham, exploring the relationship between masculinity and the criminal justice system.
The review examines how ideas about masculinity can influence offending behaviour, vulnerability, mental health and engagement with support services. It also explores the impact of online spaces, including the manosphere, and considers how gender-informed and trauma-informed approaches can support prevention, rehabilitation and better outcomes.
During the webinar, Dr King-Hill will introduce the review’s key findings and discuss what they mean for policymakers, practitioners and voluntary organisations working across the criminal justice sector.
During this webinar you will:
- Explore how masculinity can influence offending behaviour and engagement with the justice system.
- Understand the concept of precarious masculinity and its relevance to criminal justice.
- Examine the influence of online spaces and harmful gender narratives.
- Consider how gender-informed and trauma-informed approaches can support prevention, engagement and rehabilitation.
- Hear practical recommendations for professionals working across the criminal justice sector.
You can register for the webinar online via Teams. This webinar will be recorded.
