“Kerry Daynes' presentation offered a fascinating glimpse into the world of forensic psychology. Her engaging style and wealth of real-life case studies kept the teachers and students captivated.

Daynes delved into complex topics, such as the psychology of serial killers and the tragic life story of Charles Bronson and how trauma can severely impact a person's cognitive ability causing them to have more of a propensity to commit crime. Daynes introduced concepts such as Logical Compassion and why she is able to see some of the worst perpetrators of abhorrent crimes as human beings. Her presentation was a resounding success. It not only enriched students' knowledge but also ignited their passion for learning and exploration.”
