Check out our new paper published at JRCD! We examine the age, period, and cohort effects on Black and White homicide involvement over the past four decades in the U.S. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Liying Luo and Mateus R. Santos doi.org/10.1177/002242…

Our latest study, with Mateus R. Santos and UB graduate student Zhe Zhang, is now published in British Journal of Criminology. We examine the longitudinal change of the homicide sex gap in 76 countries between 1975 and 2017. doi.org/10.1093/bjc/az…
