Stephen Tueller

Stephen Tueller's work applies statistical and measurement methods to social welfare and criminal justice topics, including human trafficking, child welfare, substance use, and correctional/pretrial risk assessment. Much of the research involves developing or testing screening tools, prevalence estimation methods, and psychometric measures used to study vulnerable populations such as trafficking victims, people who inject drugs, and justice-involved youth. The work is largely methodological, focusing on measurement quality, predictive validity, and statistical techniques like latent transition analysis and power analysis.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, dipping to around 4 papers per year in some years (2019, 2021, 2023) but rising again to 9-11 in 2024-2025, suggesting a recent increase in activity after a mid-decade slowdown.
