His research focuses on policing practices, crime mapping, and the sociospatial dynamics of criminal justice interventions. He has explored topics such as police accountability mechanisms, the impact of body-worn cameras on arrests, and the evolution of neighborhood definitions in criminological analysis.

Buslik’s work bridges empirical research with practical applications, including the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for crime analysis and the ethical implications of technology in policing. His contributions span over three decades, from foundational studies on crime mapping in the 1980s to modern analyses of surveillance technologies like body cameras.
