Bio/Research
Maria Jung joined the Department of Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) in July 2016. She completed her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Criminology at the University of Toronto. Her SSHRC-supported doctoral dissertation research examined the relationship between changes in immigration and changes in crime rates over time in Canadian cities and provinces for the period, 1976-2011.
Her primary research interests focus on the relationship between immigration and crime, immigrant and racialized people’s perceptions of the police, and the overrepresentation of racialized people in the criminal justice system.
She has also conducted research on other topics including the operation of the youth criminal justice system in Canada, patterns and characteristics of homicide, and intimate partner violence. She has taught courses in the areas of interpersonal violence, youth justice, restorative justice, quantitative and qualitative methods.
