Her courtroom testimony has been described as 鈥済roundbreaking,鈥� and she has been called a 鈥渘ursing pathfinder.鈥�

Her research with victims began when she co-founded, with 艾可直播 College sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom, one of the first hospital-based crisis counseling programs at 艾可直播 City Hospital. She then worked with FBI Academy special agents to study serial offenders, and the links between child abuse, juvenile delinquency, and subsequent perpetration. Her work with 艾可直播 College nursing colleague Carol Hartman led to the study of very young victims and the impact of trauma on their growth and development, their families and communities. Her work continues in the study of elder abuse in nursing homes, cyberstalking, and Internet sex crimes. She teaches courses in Victimology, Forensic Science, Forensic Mental Health, Case Studies in Forensics and Forensic Science Lab.
