Chair, SSSP Division on Crime & Juvenile Delinquency DIVISION AWARD RECIPIENTS We are very pleased to announce that Richard A. Leo has been selected to receive the 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Division on Crime and Juvenile Justice. Richard A. Leo (Ph.D., J.D.) is professor and Dean’s Circle Research Scholar at the University of San Francisco School of Law, and a Fellow in the Institute for Legal Research at UC Berkeley School of Law. He was previously a tenured professor of psychology and criminology at UC Irvine (1997-2006), and a professor of sociology and adjunct professor of law at the University of Colorado, Boulder (1994-1997). He recently served as  visiting professor at UCLA School of Law (2013-2014). Richard is widely recognized for his pioneering empirical research on police interrogation practices, the impact of Miranda, psychological coercion, false confessions, and wrongful convictions. He has authored more than 80 articles in leading legal and social science journals as well as several books, including the multiple award-winning Police Interrogation and American Justice (Harvard University Press, 2008); The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions and the Norfolk Four (with Tom Wells) (The New Press, 2008); and, most recently, Confessions of Guilt: From Torture to Miranda and Beyond (with George C. Thomas III) (Oxford University Press, 2012) . He is currently working on a book that is tentatively entitled, The Innocence Revolution: A Popular History of the American Discovery of the Wrongly Convicted. His publications have been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Richard has won numerous individual and career achievement awards for research excellence and distinction, including major academic awards from the ACJS, ASA, SSSP, and APA. He has been the recipient of Soros and Guggenheim fellowships, as well as a Fellowship from the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. In 2011 he was elected to the American Law Institute. According to the University of Chicago Leiter rankings, Richard Leo is one of the most cited criminal law and procedure professors in the United States. Richard has been featured and/or quoted in hundreds of stories in the national print and electronic media, and his research has been cited by numerous appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court on multiple occasions. He is regularly invited to lecture and present training sessions to lawyers, judges, police, forensic psychologists and other criminal justice professionals. Richard is also often called to advise and assist practicing attorneys and has served as a litigation consultant and/or expert witness in numerous criminal and civil cases, including the cases of Michael Crowe, Earl Washington, Kerry Max Cook, Medell Banks, the Beatrice Six, Jessie Misskelley, Jr. of the West Memphis 3, and two of the Central Park jogger defendants. The extensive work Richard did to help free four innocent prisoners in Virginia (known as the “Norfolk 4”) was the subject of a story in The New Yorker magazine in 2009 and a PBS Frontline documentary in 2010. We are very pleased to announce that Liam Martin, a Ph.D. student in Sociology at Boston College, has been selected to receive the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Division Award for Best Graduate Student Paper.  His paper, “How Prisons Create Crime: Prisonization and Bourdieu's Theory of Practice", was unanimously selected by the committee.  Liam is also the first CJDD graduate student to have back-to-back wins.  He was selected as the division's graduate student paper winner in 2013.  We would like to extend our utmost congratulations to Liam.  Keep up the great work! The Division award session (included in the session schedule below) will involve a panel discussion of the distinguished scholarship of Richard A. Leo, and the presentation of award plaques to both award recipients. The award sessions are informative and pleasant experiences, so please feel free to attend even if you’re not familiar with the award recipients. The award session and panel discussion will take place on Saturday, August 16th, 12:30-2:10pm in the Mission Grille - Hotel Restaurant. We hope to see you there!

The Critical Dialogues sessions should feature eight five-minute presentations and greater time for dialogue between presenters and the audience. Unless the number of presenters is under the prescribed number (which happens with some frequency), additional time may not be possible, or if it is tolerated, it may come at the expense of other participants or and/or audience participation. Audience members - please know that your time and attention to mutual interests are very much appreciated, and that it is often possible to contribute to discussion; please make a point of attending some sessions and contributing with questions or comments. CANCELLATIONS AND LATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS As we head to print, there are three known open slots in division-sponsored sessions, and possibly more that we haven’t heard of yet.

MEMBER NEWS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Michael Adorjan, has a newly published co-authored book (2014) with Wing Hong Chui entitled “Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong: Penal Elitism, Legitimacy and Citizenship” (New York: Routledge). This book examines reactions and policy responses to youth delinquency and crime in Hong Kong during its colonial and post-colonial periods, and in doing so, underscores the history of Hong Kong itself and its present-day circumstances. Exploring how officials have responded to youth crime in Hong Kong over time, this book tracks the emergence of a penal elitist mode of governance, highlighting concerns not only about young people’s behavior but the need for officials to establish state authority and promote citizen identification. Michael Adorjan has also recently taken a position with the University of Calgary as an Assistant Professor after spending three years with the University of Hong Kong. Bill McCarthy, of the University of California, Davis, and Rosemary Gartner from the University of Toronto have recently had their edited book “The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime,” published with the Oxford University Press (2014). This book focuses on the relationship between gender, sex, and crime, providing an up-to-date and comprehensive take on this important field in criminology, criminal justice, and the social sciences generally. The authors have assembled a diverse cast of criminologists, historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and sociologists from a number of countries to discuss key concepts and debates central to the field. Randol Contreras, of the University of Toronto, was awarded the 2013 UC Press Exceptional First Book Award for his book, “The Stickup Kids: Race, Drugs, Violence, and the American Dream” (University of California Press, 2013). He received the honor at the 23rd Annual Literary Award Festival, hosted by PEN Center USA. In his recently released book, Dr. Randol Contreras examines the lives of Dominican Stickup Kids, or drug robbers, in a South Bronx neighborhood. The research covers over a decade of fieldwork, where he hung out with men who brutally robbed drug dealers storing large amounts of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and cash. Through rich field data and theory, Contreras examines a drug robbery’s organization and violence; the emotional and gendered aspects of torture; and how the relentless pursuit of the American Dream led these men to growing violence and eventual self-destruction. In all, The Stickup Kids urges readers to explore the ravages of the drug trade while masterfully uncovering the hidden social forces that produce violent and self-destructive individuals. Lois Presser, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Tennessee, published Why We Harm with Rutgers University Press (2013). Her, Presser illuminates the cultural grounds for actions that cause injury or destruction to other people, nonhuman animals, and the natural environment. Dr. Presser scrutinizes accounts of acts as diverse as genocide, environmental degradation, war, torture, terrorism, homicide, rape, and meat-eating in order to develop an original theoretical framework with which to consider harmful actions and their causes. In doing so, this timely book presents a general theory of harm, revealing the commonalities between actions that impose suffering and cause destruction. Kristen Budd, our Associate Chair of the Division on Crime and Juvenile Delinquency, has recently accepted a position with the Department of Sociology and Gerontology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio as an Assistant Professor! She was formerly an assistant professor with the Department of Criminal Justice at Indiana University, South Bend. Guŏmundur “Gummi” Oddsson, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri, has recently accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Northern Michigan. Joachim Savelsberg has recently had three articles published earlier this year. First, his co-authored piece with Meghan Zacher and Hollie Nyseth Brehm entitled “NGOs, IOs, and the ICC: Diagnosing and Framing Darfur” was published in Sociological Forum (Vol. 29, No. 2.). He also had two solo-authored articles published in the Encyclopedia for Criminology and Criminal Justice, edited by Gerben Bruinsma and David Weisburd. The first is entitled “Human Rights Violations in Criminal Courts” and the second is entitled “Institutional and Historical Explanations of Criminal Punishment.” NEWSLETTER CONTRIBUTIONS INVITED We encourage members to submit news such as publications, new appointments, and other professional accomplishments for inclusion in a future newsletter.
