Professor Ryan King’s interests are in criminology, law and society, criminal punishment and intergroup conflict, with secondary lines of work focusing on the life course and anti-Semitism. He has written on the topics of hate crime law and behavior, incivility, criminal deportation, punitive attitudes, crime and violence against minority groups and the relationship between crime, punishment and various facets of family life (e.g., marriage, divorce and parent-child relations). King’s current research projects investigate the causes of hate crime, the effects of parental incarceration on child wellbeing, the criminal sentencing and deportation of non-citizens, the relationship between hate crime and terrorism and the association between skin hue and criminal sentencing.
