Hi, my name is Sebastián Sclofsky, I am an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at CSU, Stanislaus. I teach courses on Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement. My research focuses on state violence, in particular police violence. I focus on the effects of policing and police violence on low-income communities, Black people and people of color. I am also interested in the development of policing strategies in Latin America and Latin American politics in general, in particular the development of punitive and security strategies in Uruguay.
