David Carson
David Carson is Reader in Law and Behavioural Sciences in the Faculty of Law at the
University of Southampton. He tries to be practical, preventive and interdisciplinary
in his teaching and writing, and to promote those goals in his organisational work. He
has developed courses on how to be skilful as an expert witness in court and how to
reduce the likelihood of being criticised or sued for poor risk-taking, particularly in
child protection and mental disorder contexts, simultaneously producing both valuable
evidence for courts and better risk decisions. These have been provided, many times,
for experienced practitioners.
