Michael Light is a Professor of Sociology and Chicano and Latino Studies. His teaching and research interests largely focus on the legal and criminological consequences of international migration, and the relationship between racial/ethnic stratification and crime. Current projects in these areas examine the punishment of non-U.S. citizens before and after 9/11 as well as the relationship between undocumented immigration and violent crime. Recent publications include “Citizenship and Punishment: The Salience of National Membership in U.S. Criminal Courts” (American Sociological Review); “Explaining the Gaps in White, Black and Hispanic Violence since 1990: Accounting for Immigration, Incarceration, and Inequality” (American Sociological Review); Re-examining the Relationship between Latino Immigration and Racial/Ethnic Violence” (Social Science Research); and “Undocumented Immigration, Drug Problems, and Driving under the influence (DUI), 1990-2014” (American Journal of Public Health).
