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.

Kathleen Padilla is a doctoral candidate of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University. Kathleen’s research interests include police officer stress and mental health, police-community relationships, youth perceptions of the police, police officer perceptions, and qualitative methodology. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Experimental Criminology; Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology; Psychology, Public Policy, and Law; Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice; and Occupational Medicine.
Her dissertation utilizes a mixed-methods approach to better understand stress, mental healthcare services, and barriers to accessing mental healthcare services in a predominately Hispanic/Latinx police department.

The data stems from a series of original projects with a Southwestern police department. Kathleen has also been an Instructor with the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University, teaching online undergraduate classes focusing on criminological theory, crime control policies, and juvenile justice. She has also taught online master's classes focused on policing, and juvenile justice.
