His primary research interests include punishment, prisons, race & ethnicity, work, and law. This includes a project using California’s prison fire camps to better understand the variegated nature of punishment, with articles that pay particular attention to rehabilitation (published in Social Problems), work (published in a special issue of Working USA), and race (currently under review). Planned and on-going research examines persistent offenders (with Candace Kruttschnitt), the penal drama surrounding the closure of Canada’s prison farms (with Meghan Dawe), and how ex-prisoners navigate re-entry (with particular attention to employment and masculinity). He is also working on a book manuscript with Joshua Page and Michelle Phelps titled Breaking the Pendulum: The Long Struggle Over Criminal Justice (Oxford University Press).
