Professor and psychiatrist David Vinkers discusses in his inaugural lecture the pro Justitia reporting, risk assessment, and forensic treatment, as well as scientific research in forensic psychiatry. Vinkers argues that pro Justitia reporting, risk assessment, and scientific research can be improved through the responsible use of AI.
He also advocates for the scientific substantiation of forensic treatment and its impact on the risk of recidivism. Vinkers addresses these topics in the context of the Caribbean part of the Kingdom as well. Among other things, he calls for the establishment of forensic care in the Antilles and the creation of a Caribbean equivalent of the Netherlands Institute of Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology (NIFP).
