| What is your current research focus? | My current research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of Florida's Risk Protection Orders (RPOs), which are legal tools designed to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed to pose a significant risk to themselves or others. I'm particularly interested in assessing how these orders are implemented across jurisdictions and their impact on public safety outcomes, such as reductions in firearm-related suicides or violent incidents. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | I have also participated in research focused on developing a comprehensive database of state hate crime legislation across the U.S. |
