Stephen G.
Tibbetts has been pursuing an understanding of criminal offending
for the past decade. He has attempted to discover the extent to
which individuals’ inherent dispositions and attitudinal traits
contribute to their offending decisions, especially in relation
to other factors, such as demographic, developmental, and situational
factors. Dr. Tibbetts’ research has included work on the differences
between men and women in their decisions to commit deviant behavior,
as well as their perceptions of risk and consequences of getting
caught. His additional research interests include the effects of
perinatal disorders as an influence in future criminality, the etiology
of white-collar crime, gang intervention, and citizens’ attitudes regarding various
forms of pornography.
Dr. Tibbetts
taught
at East Tennessee State University for four years prior to coming to CSUSB. He served as
a Court Appointed Special Advocate in Washington County, Tennessee,
for several years, in which he directed the disposition of numerous
juvenile court cases. He continued this work as a child advocate in San Bernardino County from 2000 to 2006.
