My research focuses on the causes, consequences and prevention of sexual aggression. The overall goal of the research is to improve our understanding and prediction of sexual violence in order to reduce its prevalence and help victims cope with consequences. Both perpetrators and victims are studied. An example of this research is an ongoing multi-site outcome study examining the effectiveness of a program designed to prevent revictimization of sexual assault victims. Other projects examine the interaction of attitudinal, personality, developmental, and physiological factors in the perpetration of sexual aggression.
