Dr. Sevigny is presently involved in research examining the characteristics of jail and prison drug inmates. This research aims to develop an understanding of who is being incarcerated and for how long in order to assist policymakers in developing better programs and interventions for drug-involved offenders. Related research aims to examine the effects of drug testing on drug use and recidivism among probationers and parolees. Other research addresses prosecutorial discretion in drug and gun cases and the operation and functioning of the illicit drug industry.
