Bio

Andrew Davis is a sociologist who studies various topics related to politics, culture, crime & punishment, violence, human rights, and law, often with a global focus. His approach to studying the social world involves examining states, organizations and other actors from a macro perspective – asking what factors structure consequential behaviors. His work often uses a variety of methodological approaches including advanced statistical regression-based techniques, network analysis and computational text analysis. His research has been published in a wide range of peer-reviewed journals that cross disciplinary subfields – among them being Law & Society Review, Justice Quarterly, the British Journal of Sociology, British Journal of Criminology, Social Science Research; Poetics; Punishment and Society; and International Journal of Comparative Sociology.

His work has received awards from the American Sociological Association’s Section on Human Rights and Section on Peace, War, & Social Conflict, as well as the American Society of Criminology’s Division on International Criminology.
