Hi, my name is Sebastián Sclofsky, I am an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at California State University, Stanislaus. I teach courses on Critical Criminology, Social Theory, Criminal Justice, Policing, and Police Violence. My research focuses on state violence, in particular police violence, socio-economic inequalities, and racism in Brazil, South America's Southern Cone, and the United States. I also study the development of tough-on-crime policies and the import of US-based policing strategies in Latin America, particularly Uruguay.
