Andrew Nevin

Andrew Nevin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and is also affiliated with the Criminal Justice and Public Policy (CJPP) and Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy (CCJP) programs. Dr. Nevin’s research is connected to three main areas—technology, deviance, and inequality—that converge through scholarship on the wide-ranging social implications of digital technologies, mostly with quantitative methods. His current project engages with theoretical debates within the subfield of cyber-criminology by proposing new frameworks that account for the structural differences between online and offline spaces. The empirical application of this work investigates contextual gaps in offending, namely, why some people might engage in misbehaviours on the Internet but not similar transgressions in face-to-face environments. His future research agenda will continue to explore cybercrime and cyberbullying, as well as address other topics under the umbrella of digital sociology. Dr. Nevin currently serves as co-chair for the Internet, Technology, & Digital Sociology research cluster within the Canadian Sociological Association.
