Pilar Larroulet

Dr. Pilar Larroulet is an Assistant Professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, specializing in incarceration dynamics, life course criminology, and gender studies. She earned her PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland in 2020. Her research examines continuity in offending behavior across generations, consequences of criminal justice interactions, and gender-specific impacts of incarceration.

Research interests focus on:

• Incarceration and reentry processes
• Life-course criminology and developmental trajectories
• Gender disparities in criminal justice outcomes
• Policy impacts on vulnerable populations
• Comparative criminal justice systems in Latin America

Recent publications predominantly explore decarceration trends in Chile, domestic violence during lockdowns, school-based violence reporting systems, and employment challenges for formerly incarcerated women. These works demonstrate methodological diversity combining quantitative analysis with policy evaluation, consistently highlighting contextual factors in the Chilean justice system.
