His research interests include: social, ethical, and legal implications of neuroscience; medical sociology; science knowledge, and technology, studies; violence prevention strategies and policy; and race and racism. Specifically, Rollins examines the relationships between society and biomedical approaches to and scientific technologies for the study of social behaviors. His pending book manuscript examines the neuroscience of violence and aggression, and in particular the continued controversies, rebuttals and uncertainties surrounding the production of scientific knowledges on and biomedical interventions for violent and criminal behaviors. In addition, his next project will focus on neuroscientific approaches to race by exploring the social, ethical, and policy implications of neuroimaging research on implicit and racial bias.
