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.
