Kristina comes from a background in research for over 25 years, and for the past seven years has been working with the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice.
Her skills are in evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and recent projects have included examining the criminalisation of looked after children and young people, looking at harmful sexual behaviour in children and supporting service user involvement in community justice. Her interests lie in the impact of involvement in the justice system for both children and their families and in understanding the needs of the community.
Kristina’s current role is in evaluating the work and impact of Inclusion as Prevention (IAP), a co-produced redesign of services for children and young people in South Lanarkshire.
