Florida State University criminology expert Emma Fridel is available to talk with media organizations in the wake of Monday’s mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois – which continued a string of high-profile mass shootings in the U.S.
Fridel, an assistant professor in FSU’s College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, primarily studies violence and aggression with a focus on homicide, including school violence, homicide-suicide, serial and mass murder, plus fatal officer-citizen encounters.
Her work has been published in the “Criminology,” “Social Forces” and “Justice Quarterly” academic journals, and she is a co-author of “Extreme Killing: Understanding Serial and Mass Murder.”
Media organizations can reach her at efridel@fsu.edu.
