Profile
Elham Forouzan holds a clinical research fellowship from the FRSQ. She is particularly interested in violence by women that can lead to incarceration. More specifically, her research program focuses on female psychopathy and aims to develop an instrument better suited to their reality, using the Hare (1991, 2003) Psychopathy Checklist – Revised as a point of departure. She is pursuing this goal in collaboration with David Cooke (Glasgow), Tonia Nichols (Vancouver) and Caroline Logan (Liverpool).
