Illinois State University. 440 Schroeder Hall, Normal, IL 61790-5250. Email: cabell6@ilstu.edu Greetings, CJDD Members! I hope everyone is doing well. Your CJDD leadership is looking forward to our SSSP meeting this summer in the great city of Los Angeles! Meeting dates are August 5-7, 2022. The timely theme this year is “The Sociological Reimagination: From Moments to Momentum.” Please be sure to submit your amazing research to our division. All papers must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 15, 2022, to be considered. Some of our sessions include: “Pathways to Re-entry: Employment”; “Competing Perceptions of Crime: Politics Versus Data”; “CRITICAL DIALOGUE: On the Front Lines of Justice Work: From Mass Protest to Systemic Change-THEMATIC”; “CRITICAL DIALOGUE: Pushing Back on the Momentum of White Supremacy-THEMATIC”; “Reimagining Schools Without Police and other Punitive Practices.” Our 2022 sessions strongly reflect our values as a division committed to social justice, equality, and inclusion. As chair, I look forward to learning about your recent scholarly efforts to address systemic racial inequities; critical examinations of justice administration in areas related to the carceral state, crime, juvenile delinquency, and social inequality, among other critically important topics. In closing, I want us to critically reflect on what we do as scholars, instructors, and activists to challenge systemic racism and structural inequalities and understand how we might reproduce and reinforce harmful social structures related to the study of crime and juvenile delinquency. This is a reflective practice I aim to focus on moving forward. I hope you will join me in some self-examination of how social inequality and racism are structurally reproduced and how to address and reverse these harmful actions.

After earning my Ph.D. in sociology in 2018, I joined the criminal justice sciences department at Illinois State University. My research focuses on understanding how Black students and parents perceive school punishment and its impact on their lives. I also conduct research on school safety and teacher victimization.   Over the last several years, I have established strong relationships with social justice organizations and policymakers throughout the Midwest. These relationships have helped me understand the real-world application of our work and make a concerted effort to craft policies that improve outcomes for communities. As associate chair, I look forward to creating opportunities that allow us to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice.   Charles Bell, Ph.D. Associate Chair (2021-2023) Chair-Elect Christopher P. Dum (Ph.D., University at Albany) is an associate professor at Kent State University in the department of sociology. His research uses qualitative methods, as well as experimental survey research to examine the effects of mass incarceration and sex offense policy. Specifically, Dr. Dum’s work examines how individuals with criminal and sex offense histories are received by the community. His book, Exiled in America: Life on the Margins in a Residential Motel (2016, Columbia University Press) uses ethnographic methods, while his other work has been published in Journal of Experimental Criminology, Criminology and Public Policy, and Sex Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment. Currently, he is studying ways to reduce the stigma applied to formerly incarcerated individuals. Christopher P.
