Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.
Research is a central and hugely fundamental part of the School of Justice Studies at LJMU. Our experienced and knowledgeable researchers have the expertise that allow us to produce meaningful work, which ultimately feeds directly into wider policies and practice.
Within the subject of forensic psychology, our areas of expertise include criminal behaviour, suicide risk, child abuse and harassment. Take a look at our current projects, people working in the group, and publications.

Within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour we are involved in research which looks at perception, attention, emotion, learning and memory, sensory and motor processes, and includes animal models of neurobehavioral research. We investigate cognitive and brain mechanisms in psychologically and neurologically intact animals and humans, and the disruption of these processes caused by drugs, brain damage, ageing or atypical development.
The research seminar series of the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour (RCBB) showcases current work of researchers from all areas of brain and behavioural sciences.
