Join UAB Social Science and Justice Research, the Institute for Human Rights, the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, and the J.

His research focuses on policing, law enforcement agency management, and race and examines the impacts of body cameras on racial disparities in policing, the consequences of providing public access to police misconduct allegations, police officer decision making during police stops, how physical appearance influence the use of force, and community protests.
