Meghan Rogers
Dr. Rogers research focuses on the complexities of crime across nations. Drawing from a diverse array of theoretical and methodological approaches, her recent research addresses femicide, the gender gap in homicide, explanations for variation in homicide victimization across nations, and crime trends in Chile. She constructs robust theoretical frameworks to account for variations in homicide rates across nations and analyzes crime trends over time and across nations. Rogers also examines methodologies used to measure crime and its correlates, thereby assessing their impact on the conclusions drawn in cross-national homicide research. She has published her research in journals such as Annual Review of Criminology, Justice Quarterly, Homicide Studies, and International Criminology.
Her teaching interest include criminological theory (graduate), cross-national criminology, comparative criminal justice systems, and research methods.
