About
Amie M. Schuck, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law, and Justice at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her research explores how societal definitions of “good policing” and “effective police officers” shape organizational structures, institutional practices, and public interactions with the criminal justice system. Dr. Schuck is particularly interested in the social construction of policing norms and how these perceptions influence both internal police culture and external community relations.
Her scholarship spans a broad range of topics, including community and data-driven policing, officer socialization, use of force, information sharing, advanced technologies in law enforcement, and the long-term impacts of victimization. She has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and has secured over $1 million in external research funding.
