About
Rohan Borschmann is a leading researcher in developmental criminology and public health, with a particular focus on the health and justice trajectories of vulnerable youth populations. His major contributions center on understanding the links between childhood adversity, mental health, and involvement in the criminal justice system, especially among marginalized groups. Borschmann has been instrumental in using longitudinal data to map the life-course outcomes of young people who have experienced incarceration, demonstrating how early trauma and systemic inequities shape later health and offending patterns. His work has garnered significant impact, with several highly cited papers accumulating thousands of citations, reflecting its influence on policy and intervention design. Notably, Borschmann has pioneered innovative, technology-driven interventions, such as the use of Purrble—a socially assistive robot codesigned with children—to enhance emotion regulation in real time. His recent protocol for a randomised controlled trial with LGBTQ+ youth experiencing self-harm ideation exemplifies his commitment to developing accessible, acceptable, and evidence-based supports for those most underserved by traditional mental health services.
