My research explores the causes and consequences of adolescent aggression, how it varies across and depends upon contexts, and how it might be prevented. Most broadly, my work examines the ways in which community institutions and processes, as well as more micro-level and sometimes ephemeral dynamics shape violent behavior. My long-term goal is to clarify how structural, cultural, and situational factors intersect to produce violence and America’s responses to this violence. I am also very interested in translating research for policy and practice so that knowledge necessary for solving complex problems actually transfers.
