Dr. Lanterman came to the university after completing post-doctoral research fellowships at the University of South Florida and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. In Florida she facilitated the development of the National Police Research Platform with a consortium of policing researchers, and developed a data clearinghouse on environmental and white-collar crime.

In her research positions in New Jersey, Dr. Lanterman implemented and evaluated the state's Serious and Violent Offender Re-entry Initiative, conducted the first experimental study of the efficacy of day reporting centers for managing high-risk parolees, and conducted a study on the application of sex offender risk assessment. She also developed a risk assessment instrument for juvenile sexual victimization in secure facilities to put the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission in compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

Dr. Lanterman's current research focuses on the developmental trajectories of new police officers, the onset of maladaptive coping behaviors in police officers, and the variation in community corrections programs.

To the Department of Criminal Justice Dr. Lanterman brings her expertise in community corrections, offender re-entry, advanced quantitative analysis, and grant-writing, along with teaching experience in corrections.
