Michelle D. Fabiani

I am a criminologist with an interdisciplinary research agenda that combines grounding my work in theory, using novel sources of data, and sophisticated qualitative and quantitative methods. My broad research focuses on understanding patterns of behavior in international and transnational crime with an emphasis of looking at illicit economies like cultural property crime and human smuggling. More specifically, I am interested in the development of and structural changes within illicit economies and assess how they are influenced by micro- and macro-level factors.
