research overview

Ed McGarrell is Professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University. From 2001 through 2014, he served as Director of the School. McGarrell’s research focuses on communities and crime with a particular focus on violence prevention. Much of this work involves research to understand local violent crime patterns, the translation of research to practice, and the evaluation of the impact of violence prevention and control strategies. He leads the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Project Safe Neighborhoods and Innovations Suite training and technical assistance programs that involve the translation of research to practice through researcher-practitioner partnerships. This work has recently been extended to include supporting community-based research partnerships in the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), HEAL, Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN). McGarrell serves as a local research partner in Detroit focused on violence prevention, public safety, and more recently efforts to address the opioid crisis.
