Dr. Barbara Kirwin with fans of “The Mad, the Bad and the Innocent” and future forensic psychologists at the Meet the Authors event in Port Jefferson.
Criminal justice fans and future forensic psychologists braved the elements to hear Dr. Kirwin present at the Meet the Authors series at the Port Jefferson Free Library on February 5th.
Slush and cold winter temperatures could not keep away the faithful who turned up to hear Dr. Kirwin cover numerous cases from her popular book, “The Mad, the Bad and the Innocent”.
Budding forensic psychologists were enthralled by Dr. Kirwin’s first-hand accounts of profiling notorious serial killers; many attendees stayed on for a personal book signing and listened to Dr. Kirwin’s inspiring tips about breaking into the field of forensic psychology.
The Meet the Authors series aimed to unite book lovers and promote interest in reading and writing. Judging by the enthusiastic turnout at Dr. Kirwin’s presentation, the event did just that!

New Services Offered
Dr. Kirwin has expanded her court-mandated programs in Anger Management, Battering and Domestic Abuse to include the Duluth Model, developed in Duluth, Minnesota, which is aimed at reducing domestic violence against women.
It is the first multi-disciplinary program designed to address the issue of domestic violence. The program has become a model for programs in many jurisdictions, including New York and California, where Dr. Kirwin currently provides court-mandated interventions.
A US study published in 2002 sponsored by the federal government found that batterers who complete programs based on the "Duluth Model," are less likely to repeat acts of domestic violence than those who do not complete any batterers intervention program.
