Her most recent federally funded research was a mixed-methods study that examined the long-term desistance trajectories of criminal justice-involved individuals who have been followed with both quantitative and interview data for nearly 30 years. Her current state-funded research is assessing the needs of violent crime victims, especially those whose voices are rarely heard such as loved ones of homicide victims. Jennifer M.
