I have 12 years of experience, and specialize in the field of criminology with specific knowledge in the areas of parricide, mental health and violence. I have published on such topics as kids who kill their parents, youth crime and risk factors that influence life-course pathways to crime and deviance. I have testified on child abuse, domestic violence and mental health. I have been an expert speaker on the nationally-syndicated Dr. Phil Show on parricide, sexual assault, and youth crime, and am regularly consulted by organizations throughout the community and the media on topics in my area of expertise.
