Carolyn Yule is an Associate Professor and Director at the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences, specializing in Criminal Justice and Public Policy, Sociology, and Anthropology. Her research primarily explores the intersection of sociology and crime, particularly how dynamic social contexts and life circumstances influence criminal behavior and victimization. Yule's work often examines how life-course events and processes contribute to both stability and change in criminal and violent behavior. Recent projects have focused on social relationships and their impact on the likelihood of individuals committing crimes or becoming crime victims. She investigates questions such as how maternal roles influence women's engagement in non-violent versus violent crime, the influence of parolees' connections to communities on recidivism risks, and the relationship between age and adult victimization risk within households. A key area of Yule's scholarship is centered on violent offending and victimization, life-course criminology, and the role of social relationships in individuals' experiences of crime.
