Current Research

My research interests include: 1) Intimate-partner violence; 2) immigration, crime, and victimization; 3) women’s re-entry. For intimate violence, I explore the social context of women's experiences of and reactions to domestic abuse, with an emphasis on the social construction of gender, socioeconomic conditions, racial/ethnic relations, immigration resettlement, and domestic violence interventions and policies. My research project on immigration, crime, and victimization seeks understandings of how race/ethnicity, immigration experiences, class, and gender shape the experiences of crime and victimization. The project on women’s re-entry focuses on the social and economic consequences of incarceration as well as barriers to social integration experienced by female ex-offenders.
