Todd Sorensen is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of
California, Riverside. His primary area of interest is the study of
migration issues. In his thesis, he models how a localized increase in
enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border will affect the crossing
decisions made by migrants, finding that a significant proportion of
migrants deterred from crossing in one sector will continue to cross
into the U.S. through an alternative location. Todd also studies issues
related to sentencing equity in the U.S. criminal justice system.
