Security, Policing & Risk

I am an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at John Jay College, CUNY. My research examines everyday security: how security institutions and their practitioners interpret and manage risk through micro-practices, professional judgment, and institutional relationships. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, I study how security policies are translated, negotiated, and enacted, particularly in policing, counterterrorism, and counter-extremism.
