Master’s thesis

Research in the area of crime and delinquency

I am offering Master’s thesis projects in the areas of crime, delinquency, and victimization, with a potential focus on the use of advanced technologies such as virtual reality and large language models. Students are welcome to explore different research approaches, including: 1) original research, involving the design of a study and collection of primary data; 2) secondary data analysis, utilizing existing data sets to explore relevant research questions; and 3) synthesis research through a meta-analysis to systematically combine findings across multiple studies. For original research, students may design innovative studies that apply technologies like large language models or virtual reality to investigate aspects of criminal behavior or victim experiences. Those focusing on secondary data analysis will leverage established data sets to examine patterns and trends, potentially using advanced analytical methods to explore the influence of technological interventions. Students conducting synthesis research will engage in meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines, synthesizing results to understand broader empirical patterns related to these advanced methodologies. Across all approaches, the goal is to develop students’ critical analysis and research skills, enabling them to contribute valuable insights into the evolving landscape of psychological and criminological research.
