Presentation

A central and recurring theme in my research is the contexts in which individuals spend their time and how the combination of individual characteristics and contextual conditions can influence their development. The primary contexts I have researched are family, school, and after-school structured activities, such as organized sports, music, theater, etc.

My current research focuses on crime prevention strategies targeting children and adolescents across different developmental settings. Specifically, the project’s focus is on efforts in school settings and summer camps to prevent youth from being involved in organized crime.
