My recent research focuses on the development of multilevel theoretical models of racial and ethnic differences in violence, with emphasis on family, school, and community contexts. My work has also examined the impact of public housing on neighborhood crime patterns, labor market effects on delinquency, and the processes that sustain stratification by race/ethnicity and place in urban areas. I plan to extend this research beyond urban settings and to a more detailed analysis of contextual influences (structural & cultural) on family processes/resources and, in turn, child outcomes including mental health, academic success, and involvement in delinquency and substance use.
