Anne Crocker PhD, Canada Research Chair in Mental Health, Justice and Safety is Full professor at the department of psychiatry & addictions and at the School of criminology of the Université de Montréal, Director of Research and Academics at the Philippe-Pinel Institute, past-president of the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services and Guest professor at the University of Gothenburg.

People with histories of both mental health and justice involvement experience reduced access to appropriate healthcare, housing, employment, and social supports, perpetuating exclusion, poverty, homelessness and re-criminalisation, all of which also come at high human and economic costs. Professor Crocker’s research program focuses on circumscribing issues and specific needs related to mentally ill individuals’ interactions with the justice system; characterizing their use of services; analyzing the effects of legislative mechanisms related to the access to, organization and delivery of services; and documenting the barriers and facilitators of post-criminalisation community integration.

Professor Crocker is Lead on the Canadian National Trajectory Project of individuals found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder: Community reintegration (CIHR: 2017-2025).
