Dear Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Division Members,
Our special issue newsletter of Spring 2021 is to recognize the contributions and accomplishments of Dr. Kristen Budd, Associate Professor of Sociology at Miami University and winner of our Scholarly Achievement Award. Kristen has long served our division and SSSP, serving as a session organizer and presider, a member of nearly all of our division committees, Associate Chair, Chair-Elect, and Chair, and currently as Chair of Chairs for the SSSP organization. Kristen is the reason I am the current CJDD chair. She welcomed and encouraged me to take on new leadership roles, generously shared her knowledge, time, and materials from her tenure as division chair, and continues to mentor and advise me whenever I need her. And she does all of this in addition to the mountains of scholarly work in the areas of sexually motivated interpersonal violence. 
Congratulations to Dr. Kristen Budd on winning the inaugural Scholarly Achievement Award from the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Division! The division presented her with a plaque honoring her achievement. Ideally we would have done this together at the Annual Meeting, but instead it was done through the mail. 
And thank you to Terrence Allen, Eric Victory, and Lloyd Klein for their hard work on the award committee. Our division is made stronger because of the contributions of our amazing members!
The newsletter ends with a call for nominations for our elected division officers. If you are interested in serving, please nominate yourself. And if you know of a member who would be an excellent candidate, please reach out to them and encourage them to submit a nomination. Our division thrives when we have strong and dedicated leaders, and, like so many organizations in these trying times, your support and involvement is critical to carry us forward.
Take care,

The 2020 Scholarly Achievement Award:
Kristen Budd

On behalf of every member of the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency division (CJDD) of the Society for the Study of Social problems, we are happy to announce that the winner of our first Scholarly Achievement Award goes to Kristen Budd, associate professor of sociology and gerontology at Miami University. Members of the CJDD may recognize her from numerous publications in journals like Sexual Abuse or as a previous chair of our division, where she led us through years of excellent division programming.

Though Kristen received her tenure status in 2014, she has contributed extensively both in terms of her service and her research. In addition to serving as chair of our division, Kristen has served in SSSP-wide committees both as chair and as member, including the council of division chairs, the nominations committee, and the Justice 21 committee. She was also a founding member of the Sex Offense Policy Research (SOPR)  group, which networks together scholars from a range of fields who study sex offense issues. At Miami University, Kristen has served a wide range of roles, most notably the acting Dean of the Graduate College. 

Kristen’s research has focused on three major areas: the characteristics of sexual assault, public perceptions of policies that address sexual violence, and social/legal responses to sexual violence. Kristen was the lead author of the only study to date to address the differences between women who sexually offend on their own and women who co-offend with others in a robust fashion. She is also one of the first scholars to be able to report on differences in campus sexual assault between female and male victims with a significant enough sample of male victims to analyze statistically. In addition, Kristen has collaborated successfully with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) as a senior research affiliate on both issues of sexual and non-sexual crime, building important relationships between criminological research and criminal justice practice. This relationship has created the opportunity for both policy change and peer-reviewed findings.

[As the editor of the newsletter, I will take advantage of my role here to mention one more thing about Kristen Budd. When I first arrived at SSSP, I dared to attend a business meeting for the CJDD. I was terrified. Kristen took me under her wing, encouraged me to get involved, and provided support to me across multiple academic conferences in the following year. And I was not alone in receiving that support. Kristen has supported many of us in numerous ways. Without her, I would never have gotten involved, nor would others I know. While her scholarship and her service are impressive, so too is her character. Confident, encouraging, supportive, intellectually rigorous, and impressively organized, Kristen stands out among the best of us. If this is what she has managed to accomplish in 10 years of professorship, then I look forward to reprising my role as newsletter editor for her impending lifetime achievement award.]

Call for Nominations:
Associate Chair and Chair-Elect

Dear Crime and Juvenile Delinquency members,
This fall we are soliciting nominations for two positions (see below).  Please consider nominating yourself for one of them.  Our leadership structure ensures that the CJDD will thrive for years to come.
(1) CJDD Associate Chair (2021-2023) 
The Associate Chair assists the Chair throughout the year (e.g., reviewing the budget, providing feedback on our mission statement, providing newsletter content if requested, helping at the annual meeting, etc.).  All in all, this position is not an extensive amount of work.  It is an IMPORTANT position though as the Associate Chair and Chair are a team and run the division together during their term.
(2) Chair-Elect (2021-2023) / Chair (2023-2025)
The Chair-Elect shadows the current Chair at annual meetings to learn their future role as Chair.  
When the Chair-Elect transitions to Chair, the Chair of our division does the following: prepares and submits the division budget, reviews and/or updates the division mission statement, writes a 'note from the chair' for our newsletters, runs the divisional business meeting at the annual meeting (e.g., plans the sessions for the next annual meeting; requests volunteers for committee work like our graduate student paper award), submits the session information for the next annual meeting, makes calls for elections (if we need to have an election), and attends the Council of Chairs meetings at the annual meeting (there are three meetings and each meeting needs a division rep; this duty could be shared/split with the Associate Chair).  
GRADUATE STUDENTS: You are eligible to nominate yourself for these positions!  We encourage you to do so.  You are the next generation of CJDD social justice scholars.
 
TO ALL, please email CJDD Chair Kelley Sittner (Kelley.sittner@okstate.edu) if you would like to nominate yourself for one of these positions by February 19, 2021.  We need at least TWO CJDD members nominated per position so that we may hold an election.
