- Ph.D. in Sociology & Social Policy, Harvard University, 2016
Research Interests:
Professor Hureau’s scholarship sits at the intersection of criminology and urban sociology, focusing on how social inequality shapes violent crime and how criminal justice policy responds to it. He employs ethnographic and qualitative techniques to explore street gangs, gun violence, hot-spots policing, and the lived experiences of both offenders and violence-intervention workers.
Across his recent publications (2023-2025) he interrogates the role of street outreach in public-safety infrastructure, evaluates gang-intervention programs, and examines the psychological toll on front-line violence interrupters. Earlier work (2018-2022) concentrates on illicit gun markets, the spatial concentration of gun violence, and rigorous meta-analytic assessments of hot-spots policing effectiveness.
