Miguel Basto-Pereira, Ph.D., is a psychologist and the Founder and Director of the Master’s in Forensic Psychology program at Ispa, Lisbon, Portugal. He is also a researcher at the William James Center for Research and an Assistant Professor of Forensic Psychology at Ispa. One year after completing his Ph.D. in 2018, he founded and began directing a large-scale intercontinental research project conducted in 10 countries across five continents. The project investigates family and psychosocial factors associated with antisocial behavior and psychosocial problems during emerging adulthood, with a particular focus on youths living in non-Western and/or low-income countries. Miguel has extensive publications in the areas of developmental and life-course criminology and risk assessment of justice-involved populations across countries. He holds Master’s degrees in psychology and statistics, as well as a Doctorate in Applied Psychology (Justice Field). Currently, his research focuses on trajectories leading to criminal behavior, a topic that he started advancing during his time as a Doctoral Visiting Student at the University of Cambridge. In the field of early crime prevention, he has also been actively involved in research initiatives evaluating parent training programs that address child externalizing and aggressive behavior and their cross-cultural transportability.
