M. Evangeline (Evie) Lopoo

Hi! I am a Sociology PhD Student at Northwestern University, where I am affiliated with the Institute for Policy Research and the Center for Neighborhood Engaged Research and Science (CORNERS). I study crime, social institutions, and labor using a mixed-methods approach.

Formerly, I was a Research Fellow for the Justice Lab at Columbia University.​ My past research reviews rigorously tested social policy interventions to reduce criminal legal system interaction and champions the strategic downsizing of probation and parole systems in the United States.  

I am originally from Syracuse, NY, and attended the University of Virginia for my B.A. in Economics and American Studies.​ You can read my CV here and learn more about ongoing research here.

Please read my recent policy brief, "The High Costs of Veterans Affairs Privatization," in Contexts!
