Bio/Research
Dr. Rollwagen’s research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to study issues related to housing, perceptions of crime, and neighbourhood livability in urban areas. She has examined the association between the built form of housing and fear of crime, and the way ideologies of housing tenure relate to the construction of crime risk. She is currently conducting a qualitative study of housing aspirations among young adults living in Toronto. She also maintains a research interest in perceptions of crime and criminal justice, as well as police decision-making. In addition to this research program, Dr. Rollwagen is a member of the Canadian Worlds of Journalism research team - an interdisciplinary research group collaborating with scholars from 63 countries to understand the professional roles and values of journalists, as well as the changing conditions under which journalists work.
