I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati. After receiving a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from Rutgers University, I have been a professor for roughly six years. I have taught courses in research methods, statistics, and juvenile justice during that time. My main areas of research are in developmental, life-course criminology, juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice, and research methods and statistics. I have led or worked on multiple studies surrounding key juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice issues and have published several papers on related topics. A link to my full academic record is found in the “Course Documents†section of the Blackboard site.
Please feel free to email me with your questions and concerns. Email is likely the best way to contact me during the course. I will also hold a couple of 60-minute office hour sessions (“chatsâ€) during the term. I will post the time and date for each on the Blackboard site and/or send out email notices. These are opportunities to ask questions about the material for the class, the papers, or any information provided in this syllabus. This also provides a good opportunity for you to communicate with me and others who are writing about the same topic, so take advantage of this if you can.
WHAT IS A “SPECIAL TOPICS†COURSE?:
Special topics courses are designed to allow students to probe a topic in greater depth than is possible in a regular class. They are administered like an on-campus “readings course†or “independent studyâ€. You are given the opportunity to read in an area so as to develop your expertise on the topic while writing intensively about it.
COURSE MATERIALS:
You will be required to read a book and several related readings
