Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly M. Babchishin is an Assistant Professor of forensic psychology within the Department of Psychology. After completing her Ph.D. (experimental psychology, Carleton University), Kelly completed a Banting postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Mental Health Research (Ottawa) and the Karolinska Institute Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Stockholm; 2013-2017). Prior to starting at Carleton, Kelly was a research advisor at the Public Safety Canada (Correction Research Unit, 2017-2019) and the Parole Board of Canada (2019-2021) where she conducted research to facilitate evidence-based policies for justice-involved individuals within Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research uses an epidemiological and socioecological framework to provide novel information on factors involved in the development and maintenance of sexually harmful behaviours with the ultimate goal of improving prevention efforts. I use population-based, family-based, cohort, and convenience sampling strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing research projects involves: (1) incest and sexual behaviours between siblings, (2) online sexual offending, (3) causal candidates for sexual offending, (4) sexting and the non-consensual sharing of sexual materials, and (5) risk assessment for individuals adjudicated for sexual offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information on my research can be found on my lab\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
