About
Myunghee (Maggie) You, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law & Society at the University of Florida, joining in Fall 2024. She received her Ph.D. in Criminology from Florida State University, where her dissertation explored the dynamics of neighborhood effects, finding that neighborhood context and its social processes vary throughout a child’s development.
Her research addresses various domains in developmental and life-course criminology, with a particular focus on the victim-offender overlap, neighborhood effects on victimization, and crime trends. Her recent work has highlighted not only the dynamic changes in individual behavior across the lifespan but also shifts in aggregate-level crime patterns over time. She uses advanced research methods such as multilevel modeling, path analysis, and structural equation modeling, along with large datasets, to employ both individual- and aggregate-level analyses. Her work has been published in leading criminology journals.
