Criminologist
Dr. Alison J. Marganski
& Victimologist
RESEARCH
My research explores violence and victimization (non-lethal and lethal) using interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches. I am particularly interested in gender and violence. Currently, my work examines intimate partner violence including technologically-facilitated abuse and in-person experiences of psychological, physical, and sexual violence. In addition to studying the nature of victim/survivor experiences, I am also interested in risk factors, psycho-social-behavioral correlates and outcomes, and justice-related issues (e.g. formal and informal system treatment; obstacles encountered in the aftermath of trauma; protective factors that aid in resiliency; etc.).
*Selected in a global competition by the American Society of Criminology's Division on Women & Crime as a presenter for a United National research panel.
My background experience includes quantitative and qualitative research, and I have worked in victim, offender, and justice administration services. As a criminologist, my professional experience includes using theory and research in working with police (e.g. through my consulting positions with the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing), courts (e.g. though my work at a law firm), and corrections (e.g. through the prison violence experience project based in reintegration centers). It also includes using theory and research in working in applied ways with victims and victim-oriented services (e.g. through my work with sexual/domestic violence agencies, shelters, college students, etc.). At this time, I am working on a project relating to intimate partner homicide. I am also examining electronic aggression (e.g. cyberstalking and online harassment) as it relates to in-person violence experiences (physical, sexual, and psychological) among young adults, along with violence reduction and prevention methods.
