Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description The peer context has long been recognized as critical to the study of victimization, but little research has examined whether delinquent peer affiliations increase the risk of repeat victimization. The current study seeks to extend the literature by exploring causal pathways whereby youth who are exposed to victimization increase delinquent peer associations, which in turn increase subsequent victimization. The current study takes an important step toward a life course perspective of victimization.

Research Tasks Undergraduate students will be involved in research project on crime, and particularly delinquent peer affiliation, neighborhoods, and victimization. They will be able to develop academic skills such as reading, writing, analyzing, and presenting.

1. Literature review: Undergraduate students will help to conduct literature review on criminology theory, criminal justice policy, research methods, and statistics in criminology. They will read articles related to the topics and summarize key findings.

2. Data collection and analyses: Undergraduate students will participate in the processes of data collection and analysis using various analytical strategies. They will learn the basic statistics and how to use statistical software.

3. Presentation: Undergraduate students will be involved in preparing presentations for conferences by helping to develop content, designing slides, and practicing academic presentation.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Excellent academic writing skills and a basic knowledge of statistics are required.

Mentoring Philosophy I am passionate about mentoring undergraduate students in the areas of criminology theory, criminal justice policy, research methods, and statistics in criminology. My approach to mentoring is guided by an enthusiasm for connecting curricular content to the real world.

1. The ultimate goal of my mentoring is to help students “think on their feet” (Petress, 2006). I encourage students to build their ability to think critically and independently. Also, I encourage students to develop an academic foundation in critical thinking.

2. My mentoring approach pursues learner-centered mentoring strategies. I encourage students develop their research idea independently and help them to improve their academic skills. I regularly will provide students with affirmative feedback.

3. Last, the most important tenet of my mentoring philosophy is “trust and openness” (Bain, 2004). I will try to build relationships with students based on trust and mutual respect. Students’ diversity and ideas are respected in a supportive environment.
