Dr. Chintakrindi’s research interests include offender rehabilitation, as well as, examining the intersection of crime, mental health, and substance use which he analyzes through criminological theory testing, experimental methods, and statistics. His research emphasizes the examination of criminal justice, public health, and economic outcomes for offenders entering and exiting the criminal justice system. His research utilizes both primary and secondary data sources to guide the development of evidence based practices to inform policy and to evaluate treatment interventions for individuals with criminogenic risk-factors and offenders reentering the community.
