We hope you all had a great meeting in Montreal this past August. If by chance you could not make it, please know we look forward to the next time you can join us at an annual meeting. For those who organized and/or presided over sessions in Montreal (you know who you are!), thank you so very much for helping make this meeting so successful for the CJDD. We appreciate everyone’s hard work that goes on behind the scenes. For those who attended our member’s sessions, we hope you enjoyed listening and learning about CJDD member’s research. For graduate students – guess what? We have increased our award amount for the graduate student paper competition. It is now $150.00! We hope this will help our CJDD graduate students defer the cost of attending the annual meeting. While the 2018 solicitation is not up yet on SSSP’s website, we encourage you to submit a manuscript when it is posted. As a friendly reminder, you also need to submit the same paper through the annual conference portal (really important if you want to win the prize money). This is required of all papers being submitted to division graduate student paper competitions. Last but not least, keep an eye out for the call for submissions for our next annual conference in Philadelphia, “Abolitionist Approaches to Social Problems.” We have some stellar sessions planned and are excited to see what work CJDD members have in store for us!

He is a recipient of the 2017 American Society of Criminology Ruth Peterson Fellowship for Racial and Ethnic Diversity and the Wayne State University Thomas C. Rumble Fellowship. Charles’ dissertation features a critical qualitative design using semi-structured interviews to assess African American students and parent’s perceptions of school discipline. As studies substantiate school removal via suspension or expulsion as a predictor of future incarceration, Charles’ study seeks to explore how African American students and parents perceive school discipline and its impact on relationships with teachers and peers, social status, deviance, masculinity and femininity, parental employment, school safety, and perceptions of law enforcement officers. Charles’ full biography and curriculum vita can be found here: https://clasprofiles.wayne.edu/profile/as7036 Mari Kita is an ABD student at the Department of Sociology, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her general research interests lie in comparative criminology and feminist criminology. In her dissertation, she examined the financial, emotional, and social consequences of lawbreaking on the families of offenders in Japan. This ethnographic research sheds light on the criminal justice system’s habitual reliance on women’s hidden labor to investigate, apprehend, punish, and rehabilitate transgressors. She has published in the Asian Journal of Criminology and has a forthcoming article in the Qualitative Journal of Criminal Justice and Criminology. As a lecturer at the University of Hawaii, Mari has more than five years of face-to-face and online teaching experience, instructing Survey of Drugs and Society, Sociology of Gender, Juvenile Delinquency, Survey of Criminology, and Analysis in Corrections.
