Dr Katie Logos is a Lecturer of Criminology and Early Career Researcher at the University of Adelaide. Katie’s research examines risks for vulnerable groups within the forensic setting, and focuses on developing effective interventions to mitigate such risk. This has involved two interrelated research streams in which she has led and contributed to various grant funded projects. The first stream focuses on understanding factors underpinning criminal involvement for young people and individuals on the autism spectrum. The second focuses on understanding the growing problem of child sexual abuse online, and developing techniques to prevent and reduce the victimisation of children.
