My research works to identify the ways that different aspects of society impact violence rates across the life course, in order to determine intervention points and prevention strategies. I aim to build a body of research that examines 1) how social and institutional determinants cumulatively influence violence over the life course, and 2) the role of psychosocial and family protective factors in offsetting negative outcomes due to violence.
