Talley Bettens, a doctoral student in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society, has received a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Institute of Justice to support her dissertation research. Talley’s dissertation will examine how high school principals interrogate students about potential misconduct and how these interrogation practices may influence the likelihood of coerced or false confessions. Her research will advance our understanding of school disciplinary practices and provide important insights into the factors that contribute to wrongful convictions of youth. Dr. Allison Redlich is the chair of Talley’s dissertation committee.
