OverviewAI-generated summary

Stacy Dewald's research investigates the experiences and perspectives of individuals involved in the criminal justice system, with a particular focus on sexual assault victims and law enforcement. Her work has explored how victims perceive police interactions when deciding whether to report sexual assault. Dewald has also examined detective perspectives on the concept of false sexual assault reporting and how technology, including social media, is integrated into their daily work.

Further research by Dewald delves into problem-solving courts, specifically mental health courts. She has studied personnel perspectives on incentives and sanctions within these courts and explored participant trauma histories in relation to gender-responsive, trauma-informed approaches. Dewald has also contributed to understanding researcher-practitioner partnerships within these court systems.
