Her work has targeted sexual assault assessment, response, prevention, and policy in both K-12 and higher education institutions as well as the military and legal system, with an emphasis on the role of alcohol in sexual assault perpetration and victimization.

When a victim has been drinking, we tend to blame her more for the assault, but when an assailant has been drinking we tend to say, 'Oh that's a reason why he did it' and we have to excuse him.
