Robert's research explores the intersection of science, technology, and justice. Key themes include:
- Environmental harms (e.g., pesticide regulation, nuclear waste)
- Genetics and neuroscience in criminal justice
- Qualitative methods in criminology
- Prison disciplinary processes and implicit knowledge
- STS applications to sociotechnical systems
Recent publications emphasize the role of rhetoric in scientific controversies, the politics of DNA analysis, and critical approaches to environmental and technological justice. Articles often employ Actor-Network Theory and pragmatic sociology to examine how technologies shape crime prevention and institutional practices.
