Jimin Pyo earned her Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice/ The Graduate Center, CUNY and is an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Justice Studies at CSUN (after August 2020). Working at the intersections of psychology, criminology, and law, her research interests center on understanding individuals’ perceptions, such as institutional confidence, legitimacy, perceived crime risk, and fear of crime/victimization. She is especially interested in clarifying the meaning and measurement of such concepts, and further examining potential links to law-related behavioral and attitudinal outcomes (i.e., cooperation with the criminal justice institutions, legal compliance, crime prevention behaviors, and juror decision making). Her work has been published in such journals as Law and Human Behavior, Journal of School Violence, International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice, and Crime Prevention and Community Safety.

Biography
Brianne Posey received a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice and Criminology from Washington State University in 2020. She is an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Justice Studies at California State University, Northridge. Her research is primarily on gender, violence, and intersections of race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Her latest research examined interactions between victims, offenders, and third parties of intimate partner violence and first responders. She has served as a Co-PI on projects sponsored by agencies such as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and Washington State Institute of Public Policy (WSIPP). Her experience also includes working as an advocate for persons experiencing intimate partner violence, as well as a health education preventionist specializing in the areas of substance use, mental health and suicide ideation, and power-based violence. She has led a collaboration debate course with Washington State University criminal justice undergraduates and students incarcerated at Coyote Ridge Correctional Center (CRCC), for two years. This project paired students with inmates and brought them together for a final debate held at CRCC on various criminal justice topics (e.g.) mandatory treatment programming, felony disenfranchisement, mandatory minimums, etc. She also served as part of a team of expert witnesses on the Holmes v. Racine racial discrimination case. She is currently working to a project to examine law enforcement interactions with respondents of intimate partner violence around the country, as well as a study on cyber sexual abuse and nonconsensual pornography. Dr. Posey has won numerous awards in the areas of research, teaching, and service, most recently being honored as a 2019 Fellow of The Foley Institute. Her work has been published in Women in Criminal Justice,Journal of Forensic Sciences, Child Abuse and Neglect, and Family and Intimate Partner Violence Quarterly.
