RESEARCH INTERESTS

Ashlee's research interests include understanding aggressive and violent behaviour across the lifespan, including child-to-parent violence/adolescent violence in the home, intimate partner violence and family violence more broadly, and general aggressive and violent behaviour. She is also interested in interventions for these behaviours, and particularly on the factors that impact on responsivity to interventions, such as experiences of trauma and maltreatment, substance use, and neurocognitive ability.
