My current research interests focus broadly on community safety, with a specific focus on policing, crime prevention and spatial criminology. I am working on projects to improve strategic planning and implementation with police services across Canada and developing crime prevention strategies in rural and small municipalities.

My research is informed by a social constructionist/critical realist approach, though I work extensively in the area of environmental criminology. I use a myriad of methods in addressing my research questions including action research, spatial and quantitative analysis and qualitative methods.

• 2021: International Society for the Study of Rural Crime – Joseph F. Donnermeyer New Scholar Award
• 2021: American Society of Criminology Division of Communities and Place – Robert J. Bursik Junior Scholar Award
• 2018: Office of Crime Reduction and Gang Outreach Grant – Province of British Columbia
• 2017: Organization Studies Emerging Scholar Award
• 2015: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Doctoral Scholarship

I am currently willing to supervise students on qualitative and quantitative projects that fall under the umbrella of community safety. This generally includes projects on policing, crime prevention, environmental (spatial) criminology, victimology and rural criminology. I am a member of the Graduate Program in Criminology. I work closely with graduate students to develop projects that are theoretically and methodologically important, feasible, and publishable.
