Allen J. Brown, J.D., Ph.D., a forensic psychologist and attorney, is the founder and Director of the Endicott College Center on Workplace and School Violence (CWSV) and Associate Professor of Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies. The CWSV provides schools, colleges, businesses, and governmental and nongovernmental agencies with training and consultation on the causation, prevention, management, and recovery from workplace and school violence. It uses a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, drawing on research and practices from psychology, law, management, education, sociology, public health, and criminal justice.

Dr. Brown completed post-doctoral training at MIT and the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he served on the faculty for twelve years, four of which as the Director of Adult Forensic Training. At Endicott College, he teaches courses in psychology, legal studies, and criminal justice, including two courses he developed on workplace and school violence. In addition, as Director of CWSV, he developed risk assessment instruments, each designed to address issues unique to the type of organization being assessed, for use as a component of a comprehensive organizational risk assessment. This assessment aids schools, colleges, and businesses in determining their vulnerability to violence and identifying actions that can be taken to minimize this risk.

Dr. Brown served as the Co-Chair of the American Psychological Association's Presidential Working Group on Law and Psychology, a consultant for the Governor's Special Advisory Panel on Forensic Mental Health (Massachusetts), and a member of the Advisory Council of the National Center for State Courts. He has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels, published on issues at the interface of psychology and law, and lectured on these issues to judges, attorneys, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, administrators, and business executives. He has served as a consultant or expert witness in civil, criminal, and family law cases in state and federal courts, and court martial proceedings in the United States and Europe
