Neema Trivedi-Bateman is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Anglia Ruskin University, and also the Course Leader for two Criminology courses.  Her PhD thesis, is entitled 'The roles of empathy, shame, and guilt in violence decision-making'. Neema's research interests include youth crime, developmental criminology, forensic psychology, violent offenders, and moral decision-making.

 

"Empathy is crucial for supporting law-abiding behaviours and decisions, and traditional sources of empathy development, such as parents and teachers, are vital for the development of lawful behaviour in children.

 Deficient empathy is a risk to all members of the community and can occur when children have inadequate or absent role models. If deficient empathy can be identified and addressed from infancy, we strongly believe that fewer incidents of harm and wrongdoing will occur in society."
