My current research focuses on the intersection between law, public policy, and psychology in understanding social responses to child sexual abuse in the contemporary United States. I also have research interests in two other areas: first, in the civil justice system and the relationship between insurance and society; second, in "good government" and ethics in government, particularly at the state and local level in Rhode Island.
