Rick Lundman
Professor
Research Interests:
Deviant behavior and criminology. Currently doing research on whether there are differences in driving behavior grounded in gender, race/ethnicity, and age; how gender, race/ethnicity, and age affect traffic ticket decisions by police; and starting research on "assortative murdering" and, therefore, how gender, race/ethnicity, and age affect who murders and who gets murdered.
