Sultan Altikriti is a postdoctoral fellow at the Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University—School of Public Health. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that link developmental and life-course criminology with offender decision-making, violent behavior, and gun violence. More broadly, Altikriti’s interests lie in using longitudinal quantitative methods to examine how human development and life-course dynamics influence cognition and behavioral changes, with an emphasis on advancing theory and estimating causal relationships. His research has appeared in various peer-reviewed criminology and public health journals, including Criminal Justice and Behavior and the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
