Research

I am a scholar of punishment, law and society, poverty, and inequality. My work investigates punishment from various vantage points: how the state enacts punishment, how justice-involved individuals experience punishment, and how politics shape punishment.

For a complete list of research publications and presentations, please see my CV.
