Michael Massoglia

Mike’s work focuses on the social consequences of the expansion of the penal system, the relationship between the use of legal controls and demographic change in the United States, and patterns and consequences of criminal behavior over the life course.

Mike’s work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

His recent work (1) with Jason Robey (2) and Michael Light (3) was featured in the Washington Post (4) and Wisconsin Pubic Radio (5). Ongoing projects examine the punishment of non-U.S. citizens before and after 9/11 as well as the relationship military between military deployment and later life outcomes.
