Jeremy’s work spans urban and political sociology, with a focus on the politics of inequality in cities and criminal legal systems. His first book was an ethnography of urban development in Boston. Jeremy is currently completing a new project on the history and consequences of crime victim policy in the United States. With several collaborators, he is working on a series of articles as well as his second book with Princeton University Press.

Before joining the faculty at Michigan, Jeremy earned an A.M. and Ph.D. in Sociology at Harvard University and was a doctoral fellow in the Inequality and Social Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School.
