Andrea Varsori

I am a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Huddersfield, where I am also Deputy Director at the Applied Criminology and Policing Centre. Since 2019, I have been Co-Coordinator of the Urban Violence Research Network. I hold a PhD in War Studies from King's College London. My research centres on the adaptation, resilience, and use of violence by criminal groups in urban Brazil, with a specific focus on the wider Rio de Janeiro area.
