About

Wilson is a researcher interested in how urban and social interventions impact crime victimization. He focuses on Latin America, and in particular Peru, in an effort to analyze the side effects of interventions and policies that, by improving neighborhoods, create advantages or negative outcomes in people’s lives, with an emphasis on gender and racial inequalities.

Currently, Wilson is a Ph.D. student in Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania. He studied Economics in Peru and obtained a master’s degree in comparative development studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris. Wilson has worked as a researcher at GRADE (Peru) on issues related to policing, gender-based violence, and justice, where he led studies that achieved key policy changes.
