Veronica Horowitz is a graduate student in the Sociology and Social Justice Program at Kean University in New Jersey and a graduate assistant at the university’s Holocaust Resource Center. Previously she worked as a research assistant for the National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice in the University of Iowa’s School of Social Work. Her current research focuses on incarceration in the United States, in particular theoretical approaches to interpreting misconduct within prisons and infusing a life course perspective in the study of inmate misconduct. She has examined measurement issues related to the reliance on official reporting of misconduct and the policy and practice implications of measurement problems on the lives of incarcerated individuals. With current trends toward mass incarceration and population aging, issues related to aging within the prison population warrant increased attention.
