Faculty perspective

"U.D. is a wonderful place to work. One where faculty can teach and do research, and one where faculty and students can work together both inside and outside of the classroom."

Research interests

  • My recent research has focused on crime and violence in urban areas, particularly Dayton. I am currently working with a community-wide collaborative, the Violence Prevention Program, to address various ways of reducing violence.
