Jonathan Ben-Menachem

I am a PhD candidate in Sociology at Columbia University and an incoming Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Law School. My research emphasizes the politics of U.S. punishment.

My work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals like the American Political Science Review, Sociological Methods and Research, Criminology, and Sociological Science.

My C.V. is accessible at this link.

I’ve also worked as a journalist and a commentary contributor. I have primarily written about policing, incarceration, fiscal austerity, and the politics surrounding these topics. You can find some of my clips here.
