My research examines measurement problems in criminology. Much of this work is focused on estimating the life-course consequences of contact with the criminal justice system. These consequences can include changes to the likelihood of employment and future involvement with the criminal justice system. I also work on developing measurement tools for the study of wrongful convictions, imprisonment effects, and gun violence.
