Research Areas

The Youth Justice Laboratory conducts research at the intersection of psychology, law, public policy, and criminology. From program evaluations to geospatial crime mapping, self-reported quantitative surveys to intensive qualitative ethnographies, we collaborate regularly with policymakers, practitioners, and other scholars on projects related to racial-ethnic disparities, law enforcement-youth relationships, juvenile justice, and youth and the law.
