Research Interests
I am interested in the intersection between psychology and law. More specifically, I am interested in children™s understanding of the correctional system, their abilities to serve as witnesses when they are victimized or see a crime, adult perceptions of child witnesses, and internet related crimes against children and adults. I also assess the perceptions and abilities of older (aged 65+) witnesses and victims of crime. My most recent projects have included assessing the influence that parents have on children™s memory for crime and the reasons why older people fail to disclose maltreatment. I have a variety of ongoing research projects happening on a continual basis. Students who are interested in volunteering on various projects should contact me directly.
Teaching Interests
I teach courses in introductory, developmental, social, and forensic psychology as well as research methods and design. I also regularly supervise two to three honours students each year.
