She has published over 95 journal articles, 30 chapters and over 300 presentations and invited talks, all in a range of academic journals including the British Journal of Criminology, Punishment & Society, Sex Roles, and Theoretical Criminology. She has authored five available books and three edited collections, her first entitled Surviving Incarceration: Inside Canadian Prisons (2014), explores the realities of penal living for federally incarcerated men in Canada. Other books include Violence, Sex Offenders, and Corrections (with Dale Spencer, 2017), one on Cyber-Risk (with Michael Adorjan, 2018), and Also Serving Time: Canada’s Provincial and Territorial Correctional Officers which focused on the work experiences of correctional officers (2019).
