Her educational credentials include a J.D. with Highest Honor from the University of Tulsa College of Law and a B.A. from Ursinus College. Professor Deitch's research critically examines the theory and practice of punishment, with particular emphasis on how criminal justice mechanisms perpetuate poverty. Her scholarship investigates whether punitive practices align with their theoretical foundations, focusing on systemic issues like parole conditions that trap individuals in cycles of poverty, constitutional defects in jury selection, and the application of death-with-dignity laws to life-without-parole prisoners. She is currently developing significant work on "pay-to-stay" statutes that impose financial burdens on incarcerated individuals. Her publication trajectory reveals a sustained exploration of socioeconomic dimensions within criminal punishment. Recent articles analyze the seizure of inherited property through pay-to-stay laws, the revolving-door nature of parole for impoverished individuals, and theoretical contradictions in retributive justice frameworks. This cohesive body of work consistently highlights how financial exploitation and poverty enforcement operate within the criminal justice system, advocating for structural reforms grounded in empirical and philosophical analysis.
