My primary teaching and research interests are in the areas of criminology and work and occupations. For the last two years, I have been working with several colleagues at the Univ. of New Mexico researching the overlap and divergence between victims and offenders involved in interpersonal violence. We have three papers under review which present our research findings. I am also finishing a co-authored paper that discusses research examining the intersection of race, gender, and occupational prestige at an engineering company.

Currently, I am working with several colleagues on a couple of new research projects which examine 1) the structural correlates of Latino and White homicide rates in the Southwest, 2) the relationship between strain/pressure and antisocial behaviors in a high-tech workforce, 3) the effects of victimization on changes in routine activity patterns, and finally, 4) the structural context of rural crime and deviance in the South (with Dr. Smith and Dr. Drummond).

I would be more than happy to help undergraduate and/or graduate students with research interests in criminology, victimization, work and occupations, and comparative sociology.
