Allison Dwyer Emory is a sociologist working at the intersection of family demography, criminology, and social policy. Her research focuses broadly on identifying how families interact with the legal system, including both family and criminal courts, and are shaped by public policies. This research addresses the pressing question of how families navigate the new normal of mass incarceration, with a focus on identifying mechanisms and strategies linked with better outcomes for children and families in both urban and rural contexts.

Her current research examines how family-level exposure to the criminal justice system overlaps with contact with two other surveilling systems: child protective services and child support enforcement. This work probe more deeply into the lived experiences of families navigating these systems simultaneously or individually.
