Kristine Jacquin Ph.D.

Much of my research is at the intersection of psychology and the legal system. Other research areas are more broadly clinical. Currently, my lab conducts research in the following areas: (1) individual and legal factors impacting competence to stand trial findings, (2) juror bias in sex crime cases, (3) psychological and social factors preventing aggression in response to provocation, and (4) psychological consequences of and preparedness for natural disasters including severe weather.

Forensic psychology, neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, natural disaster consequences and preparedness.

My focus is on helping students publish lab research. Examples of some of these recent publications include:
