Tim Watson-Munro (born 1952/1953) is an Australian criminal Psychologist. His expertise has been used in some of Australia's biggest criminal trials. He has analysed some of Australia's most prolific and violent criminals, including underworld figure Alphonse Gangitano and mass murderer Julian Knight.  His work involves determining whether those charged with acts of extreme violence are legally insane. Watson-Munro is regularly called upon to provide expert evidence in court and in the media. Early Life Born 1952/1953, Watson-Munro has described being raised in a "privileged academic environment". His father was a professor of physics, and his mother was a scientist. He was initially educated at Sydney Grammar School, where he left to work in a lumber yard. Watson-Munro later returned to a different school to complete his secondary education. He then went on to study psychology at the University of Sydney. Career Watson-Munro is described by The Herald Sun as one of Australia's leading and distinguished criminal psychologists. In 1978, he began his career at Paramatta Jail. He then went into private practice. He has assessed over 30,000 people in his career, including 200 murderers. Watson-Munro's primary role when assessing criminals is to determine whether they are legally insane. Three notable individuals Watson-Munro has worked with included Julian Knight, Alphonse Gagitano, and Mr Cruel. Watson-Munro was the psychologist responsible for assessing and working with Julian Knight after he carried out the 1987 Hoddle Street massacre, killing seven people and leaving 19 injured. Watson-Munro states that the marksmanship during the massacre suggested clear thinking on the part of Knight. Watson-Munro was assigned to treat deceased Melbourne underworld figure Alphonse Gangitano shortly after his arrest for allegedly murdering petty criminal Gregory Workman. Gangitano was released after the prosecution dropped all charges relating to the arrest after a key witness left the country. Watson-Munro expected Gangitano not to pursue treatment. However, shortly after his release, Gangitano contacted him for an appointment, and treatment continued. Watson-Munro has written that Gangitano had a degree of "intellectual prowess", and that his time with Gangitano demonstrated to him that even career criminals can have "other lives that are seemingly quite normal". "Mr Cruel" is a pseudonym for the never-identified suspect of several child rapes and the murder of Karmein Chan in Melbourne during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Watson-Munro was contracted by Victoria Police during their investigation to profile the potential offender.  Views Watson-Munro is an advocate of educating and informing victims of crime about their rights to compensation and treatment. Watson-Munro in 1996 voiced concerns that the child welfare system in Victoria was in "chaos and on the brink of collapse". He noted truancy and crime being committed by children in the care of the state and called for a royal commission into the government department responsible. Watson-Munro was involved in assessing a 14-year-old boy who, while wandering around at night, murdered a taxi driver. Watson-Munro has criticised a proposal to ban songs with suicidal themes as "censorship gone mad". He considers such proposals well intentioned, but that real issues of youth suicide in Australia need addressing, such as socio-economic circumstances. Watson-Munro has stated that individuals who consume true crime media and are socially isolated, mentally ill, or young can become desensitised to violence and gore. He stated, "I think there is a nexus between that and people viewing this material and becoming desensitised to it or wanting to see what it is like". Controversy In 1999, Watson-Munro pleaded guilty to using and possessing cocaine. He was fined $1,000 and placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond, a non-custodial sentence of good behaviour.  He was later that year reprimanded by the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria on two counts of unprofessional misconduct after being found to have formed a personal relationship with a female client. In June 2000, the Board refused his re-registration as a psychologist. In 2002, the Board again found it not in the public interest to allow Watson-Munro to practice. Watson-Munro has described the years preventing him from running a clinical practice as "the greatest challenge [he] ever faced". In 2003, Watson-Munro regained registration as a psychologist, on the basis he undertook supervision for a period of two years. Personal Life Watson-Munro's first wife Susan, died of cancer. He is now married to his second, Carla. He is the father of five children.

Roll with the punches, you say... well here's someone who's done that a time or two. All the way to earning himself the 1985 IBF Superfeatherweight Title. My mate Barry Michael is not just a world champion boxer, but an absolute gentleman who shares not just the punches he rolled inside the ring over the years; but today he shares some of the punches he rolled outside that square circle too. From being raised in commission flats to the fighting on the world stage. I loved hearing about barry's boxing career and the places it took him across the globe. The training, the lessons, the fighers, the glory of boxing back in the 1908's. Barry also shares with us, the time underworld crime figure Alphonse Gangitano tried to bite his cheek off in a brutal attack that became a scene on the Australian Underbelly Series and that subsequently ended Barry's boxing career. He also opens up a little on the heartbreaking struggle of his son Zac's Crystal Meth addiction and the havoc the Australian drug epidemic wreaks on families and relationships. If you're a boxing fan you will LOVE this episode... if you're not a boxing fan you will LOVE this episode. Enjoy...
