Research summary
AI-generated

Christopher H. Seto is a social scientist whose work examines how religion, particularly Christian nationalism, intersects with crime, hate crimes, political attitudes, and public health behaviors in the United States and United Kingdom. His research uses survey and community-level data to study topics such as anti-Asian scapegoating, gun ownership, opposition to abortion and inclusive policies, COVID-19 risk perceptions, and religious influences on delinquency and violence. Much of this work connects religious belief and identity to political polarization, prejudice, and public health outcomes.
