Assistant Professor of Sociology

Professor Chavez’ research focuses on life course perspectives on child maltreatment and adult outcomes, race/ethnicity differences in the comorbidity of mental health problems and violent behavior, and understanding change and development in violence within community and neighborhood contexts. Presently, he is investigating spatio-temporal trends in lethal violence across neighborhoods in the city of Chicago. This work has pioneered the application of a semi-parametric, group-based trajectory methodology and exploratory spatial data analysis to examine community level violence trajectories and their spatial organization. In addition his most recent project examines offender attributions regarding deviant behavior, individual processes of social learning, and community/neighborhood factors that may contribute to intimate partner violence.
