Professor David Garavito’s research primarily focuses on criminal law and procedure, as well as developmental and cognitive psychology. He received his J.D. from Cornell Law School and his Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Cornell University. His work involves empirical analysis of law and application of psychological research and theory to legal contexts. His work appears in both law reviews and peer-reviewed journals. Recent work of his has centered around a variety of topics including disparate outcomes in parole hearings, conflicts between the realities of human development and the legal protections afforded to juveniles, the perception of risks involving traumatic brain injuries, and biological and cognitive determinants for risk-taking. Currently, he has several ongoing projects on the topics of bias in sentencing, protections for youth in online environments, and the effects of stereotypes on memory and judgment.
