Cesar J. Rebellon, Ph.D.
Faculty Fellow
Professor Rebellon received his Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology at Emory University in 2002. His primary research interests focus on family and peer correlates of juvenile crime and delinquency with a particular emphasis on the manner in which delinquency may yield reinforcing social rewards among adolescents. His other research interests include the “gateway hypothesis” of substance use and the predictors of attitudes toward terrorism. His prior research appears in such journals as Criminology, Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, Justice Quarterly, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, and Journal of Drug Issues. He has three major research projects currently underway. One, funded by the National Science Foundation, involves on-going data-collection from middle- and high-school students in New Hampshire and seeks to test a cognitive-developmental model of delinquent and rule-violating behavior. The second, in collaboration with the Carsey Institute, involves secondary analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and seeks to examine the family and peer correlates of delinquent behavior. The third, also in collaboration with the Carsey Institute, seeks to collect data from middle- and high-school students in Northern New Hampshire to examine the social factors associated with a successful transition to adulthood and to the development of human capital in rural New Hampshire.
