Krystlelynn is a Doctoral Candidate in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. Her research interests center on poly-victimization of Latinx immigrants. Specifically, she studies the impact of immigration status on victimization, the correlates and consequences of poly-victimization, and the potential for criminal coping among poly-victims. Her dissertation utilizes a criminology, law, and society framework to theorize the risk of poly-victimization across an immigrant’s lifespan.
Krystlelynn’s dissertation uses the restricted version of the National Latino and Asian American Survey (NLAAS) to addresses the experience of specific victimization across legal statuses, polyvictimization across legal statuses, and the victim-offender overlap among immigrants of different groups. Using this dataset, she delineates seven distinct legal statuses – a level of specificity that is scarce in immigration research. The NLAAS includes dozens of victimization measures, including several specific to refugees. There are also variables identifying whether the victimization took place in the country of origin or in the US. Analyses measure the extent to which immigrants across statuses experience different forms of victimization, revictimization, and polyvictimization. Krystlelynn received the 2016 American Society of Criminology Ruth D. Peterson Fellowship for Racial and Ethnic Diversity for her Master’s thesis research, which examined the victimization of undocumented immigrants from the perspective of the active street offenders who target them. Prior to Georgia State University, Krystlelynn completed her Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (JJC) in 2012 with a focus on mass incarceration and reentry. As an undergraduate, she interned under Jeremy Travis and studied incarceration-related issues with a specific interest in alternatives to incarceration. Moreover, she volunteered as a “learning exchange student” in John Jay’s Prison to College Pipeline (P2CP) program and, post-graduation (2012-2015), she worked on the programmatic end of the P2CP program through her employment at the Institute for Justice and Opportunity at JJC (formerly known as the Prisoner Reentry Institute).

Victor Mora is a doctoral candidate of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University. Victor’s research interests include evidence-based policing, the police response to gangs, and the influence of group processes in criminal justice actor behavior and its role in the situational etiology of violence. His dissertation focuses on policing and utilizes a mixed-methods approach to compare the attitudes, behaviors, and influence of peer-nominated top de-escalators to their peers in a Southwestern police department. The dissertation provides implications for training implementation within police departments and the diffusion of “good” policing behaviors. The data is derived from an ongoing BJA-funded evaluation of newly developed de-escalation training that has been delivered via a randomized controlled trial. His work has appeared in Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice. Mora's areas of specialization are in policing, gangs, group processes, and violent crime.
