Profile
As
a researcher I explore a wide variety of interdisciplinary topics, but all
share my key interest: how do time and place shape crime patterns. Aside
from strict academic research I work closely with law enforcement agencies in
evaluating best practices and have conducted evaluations of police
technology, including gunshot location technology (i.e. ShotSpotter). I am currently a research partner with the
Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department on a federally-funded project
evaluating the efficacy of mobile surveillance units. Recent
publications have been published in Journal
of Experimental Criminology, Environment
and Behavior, Journal of Sports Economics, and Climatic Change. I regularly teach Crime, Theory and
Practice (CJ 273), Research Methods (CJ 302), Data Analysis (CJ 303) and
Neighborhoods and Crime (CJ 450). Contact
