Manoj Sharma (Social and Behavioral Health, Internal Medicine) co-authored an interdisciplinary article titled, “Single parenthood and minor children: Vulnerability factors for fear of crime," in collaboration with colleagues from Jackson State University and Auburn University at Montgomery in the journal The Pursuit.  The article found that having children under age six was a vulnerability factor for parents’ fear of crime, and this was especially notable for single parents. The article provides implications for interventions and policy.
