Somdeep Sen

Somdeep Sen is an associate professor at Roskilde University in Denmark, specializing in the sociology of crime and immigration. His research has critically analyzed the impact of laws that strip citizenship based on criminal convictions, particularly those targeting immigrants. Sen argues that such policies reinforce xenophobic narratives linking immigration with crime, while failing to demonstrate a measurable deterrent effect on criminal behavior, ultimately exacerbating feelings of exclusion among marginalized communities.
