We conduct research to ensure new knowledge is integrated in offending risk assessment and that relevant findings are translated to users, through updated training materials or through establishment of projects to address an issue.
Dr. Babchishin is authored of three risk tools used to predict reoffending among men with sexual offences (Static-99R, Static-2002R, and BARR-2002R) and is a committee member of SAARNA, a not for profit organization that now oversee these three risk tools, in addition to the STABLE-2007 and ACUTE-2007.
Current Focus
We are currently applying the Five-Level System to the BARR-2002R. In the next few years, we will be analyzing the decay rates of our risk tools to see how long these tools can predict. We will also examine the applicability of these tools to diverse populations.
