Dr. Michelle Jeanis teaches and researches topics that are often covered by media: missing persons, including kidnapping and murder victims, and young runaways. She also partners with public safety officials and nonprofit organizations, offering analyses and suggestions to help prevent crime and solve cases.
Recently, she researched missing persons cases in ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ to ascertain which types were deemed most newsworthy. She pored over almost 800 newspaper articles and newscast transcripts, mining the materials for information.
