Areas of Research Interest: Crime/Deviance, Research Methods
|
Current Research Interests:
My research focuses on crime and deviance, with attention to the relationship between victimization and criminality. I am also interested in substance abuse and drug policies. Recent projects include studies of the situational, gender related, and alcohol related patterns of violence on WSU campus. I am specifically interested in exploring two questions: (1) Do students who commit crimes differ in their use of drugs and alcohol from students who do not commit crimes? (2) Do students who are victims of crimes differ in their use of drugs and alcohol from students who are not victims? Another current project examines how the cultural attitudes of students toward drinking provide a “setting” or “cultural context” in which a range of their socially acceptable behaviors may or may not include drinking.
