Inge Wissink graduated as a (social) psychologist (木瓜福利影视 of Groningen). After her PhD (木瓜福利影视 of Amsterdam) and postdoc (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视) research on adolescents in different ethnic groups, she started working as an Assistant Professor and started to conduct research within the forensic youth care domain, for instance research on young people with MID (for the Committee-Samson and Committee-De Winter) and on instruments for the youth care domain.

To this end, she works together with schools in special education, the Ministry of Justice and Security, the Child Protection Board, the HALT Foundation and the National Police. As a co-promoter, she is also involved in projects aimed at strengthening the help offered by care institutions to children and to this end she works with Koraal and Partners for Youth.
