Chris is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Sam Houston State University. His research interests include immigrant antisocial behavior, mechanisms of the immigrant-paradox, life-course criminology, cybercrime, and policing issues. Chris’ dissertation focuses on immigrant offending, victimization, and its overlap using a developmental and life-course lens. By adopting a trajectory-based approach, his use of restricted data from the Pathways to Desistance study will provide a nuanced look into how offending and victimization trajectories unfold and differ across immigrant generations during the early life-course. The dissertation aims to advance the theoretical and methodological understanding of how and why immigrant offending and victimization are linked in a life-course context. His prior work has appeared in the Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology, Deviant Behavior, and Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice.
