Profile
Professor Troy McEwan
Troy McEwan is Professor of Clinical and Forensic Psychology, based at the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science, Swinburne University of Technology and Forensicare. She is also a Principal Psychologist at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health (Forensicare). Since the late 2000s, Troy's research has focussed on understanding, assessing and responding to problem behaviours like stalking, family violence, and firesetting. She has published over 90 scholarly articles and book chapters on these topics and has a strong focus on translating research into practice. Reflecting this, she is co-author of several risk assessment guides for family violence and stalking that are used internationally, and recently co-authored the book Treating Stalking, which gives detailed and evidence-based guidance for practitioners working with this difficult client group. Troy has consulted to governments in Australia and internationally on responses to stalking, and regularly delivers training on a range of topics to forensic mental health, police, other audiences around the world. In her clinical work Troy provides expert opinions for courts and other agencies to help inform sentencing and guide responses to clients who engage in harmful behaviour. Troy was a recipient of the 2017 Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Award and the 2017 Leadership in the Public Sector Award for her partnership with Victoria Police to improve family violence risk assessment and management. She is a Past-President of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, the Director of Postgraduate Forensic Psychology at Swinburne University, and sits on the editorial boards of multiple scientific journals in the field of forensic practice.
