| RESEARCH ACTIVITIES - Description used by investigators to specify their area of expertise. |
| Key words: |
forensic psychology, risk assessment, deinstitutionalization, violence, psychopathology, mental illness, psychopathy/PCL-R/PCL-SV, suicide/self harm, inmates/offenders, victimization |
| Research interests: |
I am studying three emerging fields in forensic psychology and mental health: treatment relevant variables (dynamic or changable); incremental validity of protective variables over risk variables; and the extent to which there is a common frailty underlying diverse risk domains in psychiatric and criminal justice involved populations (i.e., violence, suicide, self-harm). |
