Bio/Research
I received my PhD in sociology at McMaster University in 2008. Prior to joining Laurier, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation in the Faculty of Medicine; University of Toronto (2007-2008).
Using interpretive theories, I research policing and technological change, crime and intelligence analysis, plural policing, police women, and police cultures. I am a qualitative researcher with an active research program. I am presently working on a number of SSHRC funded studies concerning:
1. The production of intelligence in policing.
2. The integration and utilization of crime and intelligence analysis.
3. Police women and police cultures.
4. Plural policing and the collaborative work of police and various social service providers.
5.Police responses to people in mental health crisis.
