Current Research
Factors that explain stability and change in crime over different stages of the life course.
“The opportunity to work with faculty members on research projects, as genuine collaborators, and to develop ongoing professional relationships with them are key strengths of the criminology PhD program at FSU.
Working with Professor Carter Hay was one of the most rewarding experiences of my graduate education. From Carter, I learned a great deal more about the research enterprise and, more broadly, about how to build a successful career as a criminologist.”
