Professor, Criminal Justice and Public Policy, Virginia Commonwealth University. Box 842028, 923 West Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23284. Email: sbrubaker@vcu.edu Dear Members of the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Division, My name is Kelley Sittner and I am the new chair for our division for 2019-2021. Some of you may remember me from my tenure as the division newsletter editor. Here is a little about me. I earned my PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011 and have been on the faculty at Oklahoma State University since 2012. My research primarily focuses on the health and wellbeing of North American Indigenous peoples, especially adolescents and young adults. I’ve been a member of SSSP since 2012 and am delighted to serve in my new role as division chair. In my free time (what free time?), I love to hang out with my family and Gracie, my Pekingese, to travel, and to do home improvement projects. And I look forward to getting to know more of you, so please feel free to reach out to me with any ideas or questions. Just a few announcements and reminders. Don’t forget to renew your SSSP membership. And please also consider encouraging others to join the organization. It’s an excellent place for graduate students and junior scholars to get involved, to connect with other scholars, and to support a very important mission. The Call for Papers is available for the SSSP 2020 Meeting. Paper submissions are due by midnight (EST) on January 31, 2020. Our division will have 10 sole- or co-sponsored sessions for the 2020 meeting. The topics are wide-ranging and timely, and include critical dialogue and traditional paper formats, so please consider submitting to one (or two, if you like!). If you are interested in serving as a discussant or moderator for a session, please reach out to the organizer(s). Best wishes, Kelley Kelley J.

FALL 2019 CRIME AND JUVENILE DELINQUENCY DIVISION NEWS PAGE # Winner of the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Lifetime Achievement Award: Joachim Savelsberg It was indeed my sincere pleasure to participate in a panel presentation at the SSSP meetings in New York, during which Professor Joachim Savelsberg was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Division on Crime and Juvenile Delinquency. While space does not allow the reiteration of my remarks in their entirety, I will share the main points of why this award was duly merited.  Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr. Savelsberg has been a consistent member of the SSSP and in particular the C&JD Division, and has at various times served in committee and leadership roles.  Throughout his career, he has served as a distinguished scholar whose demeanor is dignified but also deeply humane and sympathetic.  He is particularly accomplished as a researcher and has contributed notably to a wide range of topics within the field of criminology.  His earlier work examined sentencing guidelines and punishment from a comparative perspective, while subsequent work has turned a sociological lens toward the field of criminology, both as an academic endeavor and as a field of knowledge-production within the social and political context of the United States.  In recent decades his work has focused on collective memory studies of mass atrocities and human rights violations in such cases as the genocide in Darfur and where the United States military has committed atrocities.  Most recently, his research has focused on the sociological aspects of current and historical efforts to acknowledge/deny the Armenian genocide of the early 20th century. Undeniably, Dr. Savelsberg’s scholarly contribution to the field has been prodigious, and this honor of the Lifetime Achievement Award was certainly warranted.  For those who are perhaps unfamiliar with his work, please search in the usual scholarly databases, as an effort to engage this colleague's work will surely be rewarding and enlightening.
