Nestor), The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice and Fundamentals of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice (with Ronet Bachman), The Practice of Research in Social Work and Fundamentals of Social Work Research (with Ray Engel), and Research Methods in Education (with Joseph Check)-he is the author of Homelessness, Housing, and Mental Illness and coeditor of Social Neuroscience: Brain, Mind, and Society (both with Harvard University Press) and author of Organization in a Changing Environment (SUNY), coauthor of Responding to the Homeless: Policy and Practice (Plenum), and coeditor of The Organizational Response to Social Problems (JAI). He has authored and coauthored 50 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as many book chapters and research reports on mental health, homelessness, service preferences and satisfaction, organizations, law, and teaching research methods. His research has included a mixed-methods investigation of a public health coordinated care program, a study of community health workers and recruitment for cancer clinical trials, a mixed-methods study of a youth violence reduction program, a randomized trial of a peer support program for homeless dually diagnosed veterans, and a randomized evaluation of housing alternatives for homeless persons diagnosed with severe mental illness, with funding from the National Cancer Institute, the Veterans Health Administration, the National Institute of Mental Health, the John E. Fetzer Institute, and state agencies. His current scholarly foci are the impact of the social environment on cognitive and community functioning, the meaning of housing and service preferences, and the value of alternative organizational and occupational structures for service delivery. His prior research has also included investigation of social factors in legal decisions and admission practices and of influences on job and service satisfaction.
