The award is called The Noam Chomsky Award in honor of Noam Chomsky, Professor of Linguistics and Philosophyat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The award will recognize an individual or group who exhibits three qualities that have characterized Chomskey’s life. The person should be a source of inspiration through his or her commitment to scholarly/intellectual activities related to justice, should be personally active in the promotion of peace and justice, and should live a life of relative simplicity. The first (2001) recipients of the Noam Chomsky Award were the editors of Z Magazine: Lydia Sargent, Eric Sargent and Michael Albert. These editors present a monthly forum for progressive social thought and commentary around the globe. In addition to founding Z Magazine, Sargent and Sargent are also co-founders of South End Press.

VAN METER Cliff Van Meter passed away May 23, 2002, after a long battle with illness. Van Meter joined the faculty of Grand Valley State University (GVSU) in 1992 after retiring from the University of Illinois. Cliff was a favorite among students and was a mentor to many junior faculty. He completed a fourth edition of Principles of Security and Crime Prevention (with Pamela A. Collins and Truett A. Ricks) while serving as an advisor to West Michigan law enforcement and security organizations. He continued links with law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom and arranged for faculty and student exchanges. Jay Albanese (Virginia Commonwealth University) has accepted the position of Director of the International Center at the National Institute of Justice. Gary Cordner, coauthor of Anderson titles, Police Administration, 4th ed., Police Operations: Analysis and Evaluation and What Works in Policing? Operations and Administration Examined, is stepping down as Dean of the College of Justice and Safety at Eastern Kentucky University to rejoin the teaching faculty. In the words of Jonathan R. White, Executive Director, Homeland Defense Initiative, Grand Valley State University: “In 1999, Cliff contracted a lung disease. A t the time, we all thought he would beat it, but it proved fatal. He taught, laughed and took care of people literally to the last day of his life. He watched a ship going out on Lake Michigan with his wife Judy on May 23 and told her it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen. He then told her to call the hospital and a few hours later he died. Cliff Van Meter was a credit to the teaching profession. He loved his discipline, his colleagues and his students. I was his dean in the last few months of his life, but more importantly, I was his golf partner and friend. Cliff is one of my heroes.” Walter S. DeKeseredy (Ohio University), author of Women, Crime and the Canadian Criminal Justice System (Anderson, 2000), has received a grant from the National Institute of Justice to conduct an exploratory study of sexual assault during and after separation/divorce.

The section is recruiting its members to propose workshops and panels on the important issues affecting the global community, such as terrorism, the World Criminal Court, international law and criminal procedure, the subjugation of women, and trafficking in people, arms and drugs. Current issues within the section include pending elections of new officers, an ongoing discussion regarding associating with a journal, expanding international membership and sharing the scholarly work and professional experiences of section members. The International Section will host a luncheon at the 2003 meeting to which all international visitors are invited. At the 2002 meeting in Anaheim, it was announced that the new Gerhard O.W. Mueller Award had been approved by the ACJS Board. The award, developed by Harry Dammer (University of Scranton), honors the recipient for work in comparative and international criminal justice. Dammer is chair of the Gerhard Mueller Award Committee, and the first award will be given at the 2003 annual meeting. For further information, see: http://www.geocities.com/acjsinternational/ home.html The Justice Studies Association will meet May 29-31, 2003, in Albany, New York. The conference theme will be: “Through the Prism of Gender and Culture: Social Inequalities and Restorative Justice in the 21st Century.” Proposed topic areas include: Transforming Criminal Justice; Social and Restorative Justice; Social Injustice and Alternative Economies; Women and Survival; Masculinities and Power; Civilization, Discontent and Hope for the 21st Century. The JSA is a non-for-profit membership association established in 1998 to foster progressive writing, research and practice in all areas of criminal, social and restorative justice. Members are scholars from all academic disciplines and fields of endeavor as well as activists and practitioners of justice from around the globe. The organization seeks to explore and develop social arrangements and ways of life that promote justice without violence and restore people to wholeness through interpersonal as well as social structural change. Anyone wishing to present at the conference should send an abstract before January 10, 2003, to: Dan Okada, Justice Studies Association 2003 Program Chair, Division of Criminal Justice, California State University Sacramento, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95819.

The grant supports the integration of researchers, university teachers and students with the “real world” and encourages their participation in field work. Phillippe Zoummeroff, a member of the French Association of Criminology since 1999, is a retired manufacturer and collector who became interested in criminal matters through collecting books. He conceived this grant in June 2000, and has pledged to fund it with his own money. At the meeting of the Association trustees, on January 13, 2000, the proposal was accepted. Every two years, the Phillippe Zoummeroff Grant is presented by the French Association of Criminology. For each session, Zoummeroff puts the amount of 16,000 Euros at the Association's disposal. The amount given to the winner is 12,000 Euros; the remaining 4,000 Euros are slated for administrative expenses for the grant and its revaluation. The grant is delivered to an individual or a legal person of any nation who authors an original project concerning the rehabilitation of persons in custody. Application forms can be written in either French or English; the jury’s deliberations are held in French. The “project” may be a project that has not yet been implemented, one that is actually being carried out or an improvement on an already existing project. The project can be about the inmates themselves, inmates’ relatives or the professional and voluntary workers who participate in the rehabilita-tion process. It can focus on operational, cultural, educational, economic, social, sociotherapeutic, psychological and medical issues and use various techniques for aftercare, training, job creation and site design and management. It may also involve communications, disseminating information by traditional means or via the Internet. This grant is expected to promote concern on the part of society for the rehabilitation of persons in custody. It is officially delivered to the winner during a meeting held by the Association a few 9 months after its award, where the winner introduces his or her project. Upon receiving the grant, the winner pledges to give an account to the Association every year of how the money was spent. Additionally, the winner must provide information about the results of his or her project when the next grant is awarded. The jury awarding the grant is composed of nine members, who cannot fulfill more than two mandates in succession. The current jury consists of: Pierre Landreville, chair; Frederic Blettery; Jean-Marc Elchardus; Annie Kensey; André Kuhn; René Lévy; Godefroy du Mesnil du Buisson; Florence Raynal; and Yves Prigent.

E-mail: prs7@adelphia.net Grant Availability The Foundation Center Proves to Be Good Resource for Finding Private Funding The Foundation Center’s mission is to support and improve institutional philanthropy by promoting public understanding of the field and helping grantseekers succeed. The Center collects, organizes and communicates information on U.S. philanthropy, conducts and facilitates research on trends in the field, provides education and training on the grant-seeking process, and ensures public access to information and services through their web site, publications, library/learning centers and a national network of cooperating collections. Founded in 1956, the Center is a leading authority on institutional philanthropy and is dedicated to serving grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media and the general public. While The Foundation Center does not specialize in criminal justice and related topics, its content-heavy web site (http://fdncenter.org) offers valuable assistance in finding grants. In addition to assisting with preliminary funding research, it allows users to search or browse abstracts of the web sites of 2,000 private foundations, corporate grantmakers, grantmaking public charities and community foundations. Online tools for conducting research on who might fund your program are available for a monthly fee. The Foundation Center is tracking September 11th relief and recovery efforts, as well as the additional impact the tragedy may have on grantmaker programs and policies. It is gathering information about contributions made to particular relief funds and organizations by foundations and corporations, and will later focus on funds and services provided by recipient agencies. As part of the effort, they are assessing the long-term impact of 9/11 and the recent economic downturn of philanthropic giving. Anyone with information helpful to this study is encouraged to submit materials to the Center, addressed to Crisis Response, Foundation Center, 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003-3076.
