I use multivariate genetic models to analyze data on antisocial behavior and its correlates, especially alcohol and drug abuse. I also develop theoretical models to explain the genetic influences on these behaviors. For example, I examine the degree to which genetic influences on personality contribute to the genetics of antisocial behavior. I also develop quantitative methods for data analysis in behavioral genetics.
