The group’s research activity is focused on:

The Forensic Psychopathology and Clinical Criminology Lab, in addition to more than a ten-year-long  educational experience, focused mainly on psychopathological and criminological themes, also conducts researches and in-depth analysis on different subjects, connected to crime studies and their different phenomenological expressions; furthermore, it promotes expert surveies and legal advice activity, thanks to a professional partnership whit the Courthouse in Milan.

Two additional activites have recently found space in the Lab:

- a Service that provides a screening certification on psychological suitability to drive for elderly people (more than 85-five years old), in partnership with the one of the Local Health Authority – ASL –  in Milan;

-  SAVID (acronym that stands for: “Stop Wife-beating); this Service, in partnership with UEPE (Office for External Penal Execution) and the Surveillance Court, provides a criminological treatment to those who abused and mistreated their own partners.

Currently, the research has its primary focus on two major research lines:

- Topic 1. Forensic Psychopathology (Professor Isabella Merzagora, Dr. Riccardo Pettorossi, Dr. Palmina Caruso)

- Topic 2. Family abuses ((Dr. Guido Travaini, Dr. Riccardo Telleschi, Dr.ssa Maddalena Ischia)
