Schanzenbach joined the Northwestern University faculty in 2003 as an assistant professor of law.

Work[edit]
A 2007 study co-authored by Schanzenbach and Robert H. Sitkoff argued that trustees responded appropriately to the introduction of so-called prudent investor laws.[3][4] Also in 2007, Schanzenbach and Emerson Tiller (who is also a professor at Northwestern) co-authored a study showing that judges appointed by Republicans tend to give harsher sentences for street crime, while those appointed by Democrats tend to punish white-collar criminals more severely.[5] Schanzenbach has also argued that police union contracts are serious impediments to creating incentives for proper police conduct,[6] including the contract made by the union representing officers in the Chicago Police Department.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Schanzenbach is married to Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, a professor at the Northwestern University School of Education and Social Policy, with whom he has three children.[8] As of 2015, they live in the North Shore area of Chicago, Illinois.[8]
