Dr. Cruise conducts research on the clinical-forensic assessment of adolescents within the juvenile justice system and has received grant funding (NIJ, OJJDP, SAMHSA) to examine the effectiveness of enhanced mental health screening for poly-victimization, trauma-informed case planning, and the impact of trauma screening on service delivery and legal outcomes for adolescents experiencing justice system involvement. His overarching focus is adopting, implementing, and sustaining evidence-based practices that increase access to appropriate services.
