Tatiana Corrales

Dr Corrales has extensive experience in the areas of criminal justice and child and family welfare accumulated over close to 10 years working as a researcher in academic and non-academic settings. As the Principal Researcher at a large, Victorian-based community organisation she led several projects with vulnerable populations, including young people leaving the out-of-home care system. She has also undertaken research across Victorian prisons, with a focus on violent and sexual offender rehabilitation programs. She is currently employed as a Research Fellow in the Health and Social Care Unit at Monash University and is research active in the areas of child protection, child and family welfare, and the criminal justice system.
Tatiana’s current research is centred on the health and social care needs of women who are pregnant or give birth in prison, and the factors that influence maternal and professional judgements about capacity to change among women at the intersection of criminal justice and child protection.
