Research and Background: I am a PhD student in the Social Psychology program at Rutgers University – Newark. I am interested in implicit bias and social attitudes among criminal justice actors, with an emphasis on law enforcement officers. I am also interested in how criminal justice-involved individuals construct their criminal identities and the extent to which these identities influence their engagement in criminal behavior.
