Sexual Offending by Strangers

Paul V Greenall, PhD has spent most of his working life in secure hospitals. He started at Ashworth Hospital near Liverpool as an administrator before becoming a Research Psychologist there. He then worked in Forensic/Clinical practice within the secure units of Prestwich Hospital in Manchester. Dr Greenall is presently a Senior Forensic Psychologist (HCPC registered) working within the mental health in-reach teams of several male prisons in the northwest of England. In all these roles Dr Greenall has interviewed, researched, assessed, and worked clinically with a range of mentally disordered offenders, and from this he developed a particular interest in the assessment and formulation of sexual violence. Dr Greenall has also held academic posts at universities in Liverpool and Manchester and has lectured on Forensic Psychology to undergraduates and postgraduates. He is presently a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology at Edge Hill University, a Fellow of the High Education Academy, and a Visiting Fellow at the University of Huddersfield.
