Adam D. Fine is an assistant professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University. He received his doctorate, specializing in developmental psychology and quantitative methods, from the University of California, Irvine. A developmental psychologist conducting research at the intersection of psychology, law, public policy, and criminology, Fine’s research broadly focuses on juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice. His current work centers on two areas: 1) how youth develop their perceptions of law enforcement, the law, and the justice system, paying particular attention to developmental trends and racial-ethnic differences; and 2) how experiences with the juvenile justice system affect youth outcomes and disparities. His work has been funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award.
He is the PI of the Youth Justice Lab: https://sites.google.com/view/youthjusticelab/home
