Adina Radosh Sverdlin

Adina Radosh is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies. Currently, she has three lines of research: 1) working conditions and institution-family dynamics among the Mexican police, 2) how the Mexican police deal with uncertainty, and 3) police collective action through unions and associations in Latin America. Previously, she worked as a research coordinator in the project “Building Effective, Resilient, and Trusted Police Organizations in Mexico” (PI: Rodrigo Canales, Boston University), where she conducted comparative research about police reform in Mexico and designed a study about the response of Mexican municipal and state police departments to the COVID19 pandemic. For her master’s thesis, she inquired about local political practices, the spatial dimension of gang formation, and the life trajectories of former gang members in Western Mexico City. Before her master’s studies, she worked as a researcher, workshop facilitator, and trainer in an action-research project on food and community health.
