​​My name is Luzi Shi (石路子). I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department, University of Rhode Island. I received my doctoral degree from the School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany in August, 2020. I worked at Bridgewater State University for three years before joining URI in 2023 and received the BSU Class of 1950 Distinguished Faculty Research Award. My research aims to understand how stereotypes, misperceptions, and negative emotions shape criminal behaviors and crime control policy preferences. To this end, I conduct experiments and analyze survey data. I am also interested in media, gender, and inequality.
