Daniel E. Martínez is an Associate Professor of Sociology, a core faculty member in the Mexican American Studies Department, and a co-director of the Binational Migration Institute at the University of Arizona. He is also an affiliate of the Center for Latin American Studies, School of Geography, Development & Environment, and the SBS Human Rights Practice Program. Dr. Martínez's research and teaching interests include race and ethnicity, undocumented immigration, and criminology. He is particularly interested in the social and legal criminalization of undocumented migration. Dr. Martínez has also conducted extensive research on deportations and undocumented border crosser deaths along the US-Mexico border. He is a principal investigator of the Migrant Border Crossing Study, a Ford Foundation-funded research project that examines recently deported undocumented migrants' experiences crossing the US-Mexico border and residing in the United States. His current research focuses on 1) Latina/o/x panethnicity, 2) the relationship between so-called “sanctuary” policies and public safety, and 3) the ecological correlates of officer-involved shootings and violent crime in southwestern cities.
