Sheilagh Hodgins is a Professor at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. She is the author of numerous articles, book chapters, and books on mental disorders and violence. Her research endeavours to understand the developmental mechanisms associated with stable patterns of aggressive behaviours in individuals who present different mental disorders and to use this information to inform specific interventions. Essi Viding is a Reader at the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London. Her research explores the different developmental pathways that can lead to persistent antisocial behaviour, with a particular focus on psychopathy. Dr. Viding has trained in both behavioural genetics and cognitive neuroscience and uses a range of methodologies including twin model-fitting and fMRI in her research. Anna Plodowski is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry, using the cognitive neuroscience methodologies of electrophysiology and fMRI to investigate persistent violent offending.
