Biography
Ralph Serin Professor Degrees: Ph.D. (Queen's)
Research Interest
I am interested in the interface between psychology and criminal justice and my research interests focus on decision making and correctional programming. The former considers correctional and parole decision-making, with an emphasis on models to improve standardization and research regarding accuracy. The latter work encompasses assessment of treatment readiness and treatment needs; measurement of programming gains; and pathways to desistance; all with a view to understanding differential outcomes.
