Hello and welcome to my website. I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the University of Washington-Seattle. You will find basic information about my research interests, works in progress, research experience, and links to useful sites on crime, sociology, statistics, and demography. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

RESEARCH AREAS

My research interests include econometric & demographic methods, deviance (crime & punishment), social stratification, and health & mortality. Substantively, I am interested in causal models for inference; the life-cycle dynamics of currently & formerly incarcerated inmates, with a particular focus on aging and family formation; quantifying expenditures from illegal labor market earnings; measuring household well-being and its relationship to criminal acts; examining the effect of residential segregation and educational quality on neighborhood crime; and estimating the impact of incarceration on future life-expectancy.
