I am an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Sam Houston State University, and I earned my Ph.D. from Florida State University and J.D. from Georgia State University. Serving in this position is important because I share the Division’s dedication to promoting scholarly work on issues that affect system-impacted individuals, especially concerning critical analyses of systemic biases and reform proposals. As a scholar-activist, my research centers on racial and ethnic bias embedded in the American policing institution and critically examines proposed solutions to ending police violence. As Associate Chair, I look forward to continuing the Division’s efforts to support activists and scholars in their essential work that analyzes and proposes substantive solutions to inequity in the criminal legal system. I also share the Division’s goal of fostering inclusive and effective teaching methods in the study of social problems related to crime and institutions of social control. I will actively support the Division’s commitment to DEI in our activities and interactions—with an increased commitment to this aim amid the active suppression of DEI efforts throughout the nation. The E-Board looks forward to organizing future panels, workshops, and other opportunities that facilitate networking, scholarly collaboration, and mentoring for our members—and we welcome your suggestions about programming that is important to your professional development. Please join me in thanking our outgoing leadership, Chair Rob Peralta and Associate Chair Charles Bell, for all of their work. We will make you both proud!

Chair-Elect Hello Members of CJDD, My name is Rafia J. Mallick and I am honored to serve as the Chair-elect for our division. I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Sociology at Georgia State University (GSU), based in Atlanta, Georgia. I hold a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Punjab, Pakistan (2007). In 2011, I graduated from Hofstra University, NY, earning a Master of Arts in Applied Research and Policy Analysis. Recently, I graduated with a Master of Arts in Sociology from the University of Oklahoma (2021). Additionally, I completed a graduate certification in Geo-Spatial Information Systems (GIS). I have worked as a research assistant and data analyst for different community-based projects in Pakistan, New York, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Currently, I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant at GSU. My research uses mixed methods including quantitative and qualitative methods and spatial analysis. My research interests focus on the assimilation of immigrants in the United States, anti-Asian racism, the production and reproduction of ethnic enclaves, street harassment, and crime in urban neighborhoods. Serving in this role holds significance because my values align closely with the Division's mission of advancing scholarly research on those impacted by the criminal justice system and other forms of social control through institutions. As an urban sociologist, my research primarily focuses on the racial and ethnic injustices faced by immigrants in the United States, along with their coping strategies to navigate these contested spaces. Thus, this role has given me the opportunity to further the division’s vital work in supporting scholars and activists in their pursuit of a safe and equitable world. Looking forward to serving the members of CJDD and creating opportunities that allow us to bridge the gap between research, practice and policy. Rafia J.

Email: rmallick1@student.gsu.edu Note from the Chair Fall 2023 Hello friends! My name is Christopher Dum and I am the new chair for our division, serving from 2023 through 2025. I want to thank our outgoing chair, Dr. Rob Peralta, for all of his terrific work for the division over the past few years. We have some wonderful years ahead of us and I am excited to see where we go together! Just to give some background about myself, I was born in South Korea and adopted in the United States at just several months old. I went to college at American University in Washington, DC, and was just starting my first year when the 9/11 attacks occurred. I received my Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from the University at Albany in 2014 and then joined the faculty at Kent State University and have been there ever since! My research focuses on incarceration, public opinion, and using qualitative and experimental methods. I also run the ID13 Prison Literacy Project, which you can check out at www.id13project.com. When I’m not working, I like to enjoy live music, play with my dog Meeko, and watch movies. One thing that I would like to bring to everyone’s attention is a possible name change for the division. When Dr. Peralta took over as chair, one of the things we did was revise our mission statement. We did so because we felt the need to emphasize that crime/deviance/delinquency are social constructs, and that fact plays a large role in the work we do as a division and in SSSP as a whole. In line with this approach, I feel that it might be time to remove the “juvenile delinquency” label from the division name and replace it with something that aligns better with our understanding of social problems and how institutions use social control. That said, I will be sending out a survey this fall to get feedback from members about changing the name. Please keep an eye out for that survey. I’m looking forward to working with and getting to know you! Please reach out with any questions and things you would like to talk about!
