Drs. Kroner, Morgan, and Mills have worked closely together since meeting at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, Canada in 2003. Highlighted by a yearly cottage research retreat, they have combined their interests and expertise in mental health treatment, assessing treatment change, and risk assessment. As a result of this collaboration, their work has emphasized the integration of mental illness and criminalness for assessment and intervening among justice involved persons with mental illness.
The aim of this work has been to help this population achieve a higher quality of life that is crime free and that results in increased community safety. Their research has been funded by the National Institute of Justice, and they have published journal articles and book chapters, The Clinician’s Guide to Violence Risk Assessment, and developed treatment programs including Changing Lives and Changing Outcomes: A Treatment Program for Offenders with Mental Illness.
