“I originally wanted to become a police officer,” says Braga, who joined Northeastern’s faculty in July as Distinguished Professor and director of the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice. “But as I progressed through my academic career, I realized that working with criminal justice, social service, and community-based organizations to understand and address complicated crime problems was the perfect fit for me.”
