Biography
(PhD, The Ohio State University, 2006). Arrived at 海角社区 in 2006. His research agenda centers on two primary areas. The first explores how sociopolitical arrangements influence the adoption of criminal justice legislation and the use of formal social control mechanisms. The subjects of his research in this area include, among other things: police use of lethal force; the size of municipal police departments; the use and legality of the death penalty; factors contributing to jail and prison use; and the adoption of wrongful conviction legislation. He is currently working on a SSHRC funded project examining police behaviour during their encounters with citizens.
The second stream of his work explores the organizational development and effectiveness of the U.S. environment movement as well as how cues from politicians, and the media might influence public perceptions of climate change. This research includes studies examining foundation funding of the environmental movements, the growth and discursive shifts among environmental movement organizations, and a number of projects attempting to explain the partisan divide in concern over climate change.
