Finding effective solutions to reduce the incidence and severity of offending requires a cross-disciplinary focus. Only with a concerted and ongoing effort can we succeed in reducing the effects of these behaviours in our societies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Set in the intimate surrounds of a medieval town centre in Prato, Italy, within the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century Palazzo Vaj (just 20 minutes from Florence, in Tuscany, Italy) this international conference brings together interdisciplinary practitioners, policy contributors, decision makers, advocates, and researchers to examine various aspects of serious offending and violence. The aim of the conference is to share research, practice and policy developments; to stimulate critical examination of the multifaceted causal issues; and to foster ongoing learning and collaborations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The conference will give particular attention to the following themes:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Understanding violence and other serious offences<\/li>\n<li>Effective law and policy developments for managing and reducing offending<\/li>\n<li>Intimate partner and family violence<\/li>\n<li>Solutions for severe and persistent young offenders<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Crossover kids\u2019\u00a0\u2013 from protection to offending<\/li>\n<li>Origins of violence and its life course<\/li>\n<li>Neurobiology of violence<\/li>\n<li>Mental illness, substance misuse, disability and violence<\/li>\n<li>Effective interventions with perpetrators<\/li>\n<li>Family law<\/li>\n<li>Child protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Closing date for abstracts: 30 June 2017<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For more information and to submit an abstract, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swinburne.edu.au\/research\/forensic-behavioural-science\/events\/safer-communities-safer-relationships-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Centre for Forensic\u00a0Behavioural Science at Swinburne University in Melbourne are hosting an upcoming conference &#8220;Safer communities, safer relationships:\u00a0Generating solutions for reducing persistent violence and other serious offending&#8221; to\u00a0be held in Tuscany, Italy, from the 4-6 October 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":372,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/372"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2064"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2064\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2066,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2064\/revisions\/2066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
