Jonathan R. Brauer studies criminology, focusing on how criminal and delinquent behavior develops and how researchers should measure and test theories about it. Much of his recent work is methodological and theoretical, examining how criminologists build and evaluate explanations of crime, including debates over concepts like self-control and the proper statistical handling of survey-style (ordinal) data. He also investigates topics such as stress, coercive control, and factors linked to offending and victimization.
