Christopher Uggen studies crime, punishment, and the criminal legal system, with particular attention to how policing, incarceration, and monetary sanctions (fines and fees) affect individuals and communities. Much of his recent work examines the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, including its effects on violence, mental health, and community wellbeing, as well as broader topics like felony disenfranchisement, prison conditions, and transitional justice. His research combines quantitative methods (such as time series analysis) with qualitative and policy-oriented perspectives.
