Miriam Northcutt Bohmert is an Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Indiana University whose work focuses on inequalities in corrections and community supervision. Her research examines how individuals navigate the criminal legal system differently based on race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other intersecting factors.

She has led multiple projects funded by Arnold Ventures, including studies on monetary sanctions in Indiana (Fines and Fees Project) and efforts to reduce racial disparities in probation outcomes (Reducing Revocations Challenge). Her current research explores the use of electronic monitoring in Indiana, identifying models that produce the best outcomes for clients and agencies.

Northcutt Bohmert’s work has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Justice and published in leading journals such as Crime & Delinquency, British Journal of Criminology, Criminal Justice & Behavior, and Social Forces.
