国产AV

I achieved a PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Florida State University and joined the 国产AV faculty in the Fall of 1993.  Being a part of the growth and development of our program has been both exciting and rewarding.  Over the years I have served as the Undergraduate Coordinator in Criminal Justice, Faculty Advisor to the Criminal Justice Honor's Society, and as the Director of the CJ Study in England and Scotland Program.

Currently I am serving as the Intern Director for the Criminal Justice Program. An Internship is a great way for Juniors and Seniors to get an insider's view into the field of criminal justice. Placements range from agencies in law enforcement, courts, corrections, and juvenile justice. It is especially rewarding when internships develop into jobs for students after graduation. Internship hours, CRJU 4910, count as upper division electives in criminal justice.

My teaching responsibilities include: White Collar Crime, Organized Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, Ethics in Criminal Justice and Introduction to Criminal Justice. In addition to my teaching activities, I have published work in the Journal of Addiction, Recovery and Aftercare, the Journal of Education and Human Development, Criminal Justice Basics and Concerns: Court Basics, Journal of Public and Professional Sociology. the American Journal of Criminal Justice, the International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice, International Journal of Rural Criminology, the Latino Studies Journal, the Social Science Computer Review, the Law Enforcement Executive Forum, and Comparative Criminal Justice: Traditional and Non-Traditional Systems of Law and Control.

My current research interests include law enforcement evaluation and community relations, alternatives to incarceration for drug offenders, and community stakeholders perceptions of crime prevention.  I also find crime and justice in rural areas to be an especially interesting, but often overlooked field of inquiry.
