She has more than 30 years of experience evaluating interventions and investigating the causes and correlates of criminal behavior. Dr. Lattimore has led multiple multisite, multimodal experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations, including the NIJ-funded evaluation of the Honest Opportunity Probation with Enforcement Demonstration Field Experiment. She was named a Fellow of the Academy of Experimental Criminology in 2009, was awarded the Peter P. Lejins Researcher Award from the American Correctional Association in 2015, and was presented with the Distinguished Scholar Award by the Division on Corrections and Sentencing of the American Society of Criminology in 2015.
