简介

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, and domestic violence interventions and policies with an emphasis on the influence of social construction of gender, socioeconomic conditions, racial/ethnic relations and, 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 sex-offenders
