Dr. Payne's research focuses primarily on juvenile delinquency and other risky behaviors of youths. Recent research highlights
her interests in adolescents' social networks and the influence of peers on delinquency, as well as neighborhood effects on
youth violence (other-oriented violence as well as self-oriented violence, or suicidal behavior). A recent focus of her research
investigates the effects of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, immigrant concentration, residential instability, and
other population characteristics on youth anti- and pro-social behaviors. This research examines, in particular, differences
in neighborhood effects and processes for youths who live in different geographical locations; specifically, it compares neighborhood
effects for adolescents across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Future research will examine the influence of changing neighborhood
environments on violence as persons transition from adolescence into young adulthood.
