Patricia Logan-Greene’s research focuses on how trauma and social disadvantage influence delinquent behavior and interpersonal violence among adolescents and young adults.

Recently, she partnered with a juvenile court to examine childhood traumas and adversities among youth on probation, in addition to being awarded a grant to examine mental health professionals’ attitudes toward clients with a criminal record.

Other projects involve the examination of the effects of childhood maltreatment on aggression, delinquency and health and mental health outcomes throughout the lifespan.
