Svetlana Stephenson was born in Moscow. Her first degree was in history and she gained her PhD in sociology at the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. From 1988 she worked as a researcher in the All-Russian Centre for Public Opinion Research (now known as the Levada Centre). In 1996 she moved to the UK, where she worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Universities of Essex and Luton before moving in 2002 to London Metropolitan University, where she is currently a Reader in Sociology.

Svetlana's research has involved interviewing street children, homeless people, sex workers, and members of youth gangs and organized crime networks in Russia. She has been investigating life in the "shadows" of Russian society for over 20 years, focusing on informal and criminal networks, their cultures, and their relations with mainstream society and the state.

Svetlana is the author of many books and articles published in English and Russian. These include "Crossing the Line: Vagrancy, Homelessness And Social Displacement in Russia" (2006) and "Youth and Social Change in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union" (2012, co-edited with Charles Walker). Svetlana's latest book, "Gangs of Russia: From the Streets to the Corridors of Power" was published in 2015 by Cornell University Press.
