The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has launched
CrimeSolutions.gov, a new website designed to provide researchers and policymakers with credible information on the effectiveness of a wide range of criminal justice programs.
The site includes more than 150 justicerelated programs and assigns ratings based on how well a program was able to achieve its intended purpose.
OJP predicts the main users of the site will be researchers and academics, law enforcement, state agencies, judges, and congressional staff looking for effective programs to replicate, adapt, or peg for additional research.
The site consists of a searchable database of evidence-based programs in criminal justice and provides detailed information on each, including the outcomes, study methodology, and cost, when available.
Contact information for program directors is also available for many of the programs.
Programs are added to the database from peer-reviewed journals and other existing literature as well as from nominations by users of CrimeSolutions.gov. They are rated
“effective,” “promising,” or “no effects” by a panel of reviewers.
CrimeSolutions.gov will cover:
Corrections and Reentry, Courts, Crime and
Crime Prevention, Drugs and Substance
Abuse, Forensics and Technology, Juvenile
Justice, Law Enforcement, and Victims and
Victimization. The programs are reviewed by a panel of experts certified by the Department of Justice and rated on their effectiveness.
Each program is reviewed with regard to conceptual framework, research design, outcome evidence, and fidelity.
The Lead Researchers and Study
Reviewers for CrimeSolutions.gov have extensive subject-matter and research methodology expertise. They had an integral role in developing the review and rating system and designing the scoring instrument.
They select the studies that comprise a program’s evidence base and coordinate the review process for a given topic area. They ensure that any scoring discrepancies between
Study Reviewers are resolved and consensus is achieved prior to a program being assigned a final evidence rating. Lead Researchers are experts in the following justice-related topics:
Study Reviewers are responsible for reviewing and rating the individual studies that comprise a program’s evidence base.
Reviewers are assigned based on their area of expertise.
Researchers and Reviewers agree to provide notification of any actual or apparent financial or personal conflicts of interest with programs or evaluation studies they are given to review. Potential conflicts of interest could include issues such as present and past employment connections, financial interests in program materials or implementation, and conducting, authoring, or being an advisory member on any part of an evaluation study or article. A Study Reviewer with a conflict of interest is required to inform the Lead
Researcher in writing prior to beginning the study review and then may be recused from the review of that program.
Lead Researchers include Edward
Latessa (University of Cincinnati), Stephen
Gies (Development Services Group, Inc.),
Rob Guerette (Florida International
University), Edward Maguire (American
University), and Carol Petrie (Development
Services Group, Inc.). Latessa’s text,
Corrections in the Community , 5th ed., with Paula Smith (Anderson Publishing), was released this year.
Anderson authors serving as Certified
Study Reviewers include Gordon
Bazemore (Florida Atlantic University), coauthor (with Mara Schiff ) of Restorative
Community Justice: Repairing Harm and
Transforming Communities (2001); Gary
Cordner (Kutztown University), coauthor
(with Kathryn E. Scarborough ) of Police
Administration , 7th ed.; and Randy Gainey
(Old Dominion University), coauthor
(with Brian Payne ) of Family Violence and
Criminal Justice: A Life-Course Approach,
3rd ed. (2009).
To be considered for review on Crime
Solutions.gov, a program must aim to prevent or reduce crime, delinquency, or related problem behaviors; aim to prevent, intervene, or respond to victimization; aim to improve justice systems or processes; and/or target an offender population or an at-risk population.
Evaluation research criteria are strict and are enumerated on the website
Because several other government and private organizations maintain databases similar to CrimeSolutions.gov, the “Program
Snapshot” provided for each program notes whether the program also appears in other evidence-based program libraries. For more information, see http://crimesolutions.gov/

The Department of Criminal Justice at Georgia State University
(GSU) recently joined the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies
(AYS). Brought into the school during a larger GSU restructuring, this highly regarded department has added three degree programs, approximately 600 new students, and 21 new faculty and staff to the policy school. The School of Social Work also moved to AYS at the same time.
“This change is an exciting opportunity for all of us,” said
Professor Brian Payne, who chairs the Department of Criminal Justice.
“Ambassador Andrew Young’s vision for a better community and a more just world has improved the lives of all of us. I’m confident that our graduates will be proud to have his name on their diplomas.” Brian
Payne is co-author (with Randy Gainey ) of Family Violence and
Criminal Justice: A Life-Course Approach , 3rd ed. (2009).
As part of the move, additional doctoral fellowships will be available for PhD students in criminal justice at Georgia State
University. For more information, visit the department’s web site at http://aysps.gsu.edu/cj/index.html
A Master of Science in Strategic Studies in Weapons of Mass
Destruction is now available at Indiana University of Pennsylvania
(IUP). The 30-credit, multi-year course focuses on worst-case scenarios: radiological “dirty” bombs, power grid disruptions, and crippling biological attacks on food and water supplies.
With help from government threat analysts and federal law enforcement, IUP criminologist Dennis Giever created the program.
The program will not be open to everyone. Rather than traditional tuition, agencies will contract with the school, paying about $300,000 a year for groups of 15 to 20 full-time students.
The FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate approached the school about creating a graduate-level program in 2008. Together they developed a specialized criminology program from which 34 agents have graduated. That coursework coalesced into a program, and the State System of Higher Education approved the degree in June.
The Pennsylvania State University recently established the Justice
Center for Research. A cooperative venture of the College of the
Liberal Arts and University Outreach’s Justice and Safety Institute, the Center’s mandate is to initiate, fund, and conduct applied research in criminology and criminal justice—assisting local, Commonwealth, state, federal, and international policymakers. It will serve as a grant acquisition and management resource for faculty and students, to aid in their pursuit of research as aligned with the vision of the Center.
Doris Layton MacKenzie is the Center’s Director. Gary Zajac
(formerly Chief of Research and Evaluation at the Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections) recently joined the staff as Managing
Director.
The Center is in keeping with the University’s tradition of service to the justice community, and complements other University initiatives and affiliates, including the Department of Sociology/Crime, Law and Justice, the Justice and Safety Institute (JASI), the Pennsylvania
Commission on Sentencing, the International Center for the Study of
Terrorism, and the Dickinson School of Law.
For further information, contact: The Justice Center for
Research, The Pennsylvania State University, 327 Pond Building,

State University of New York (SUNY) Delhi will offer a new fouryear degree program in Criminal Justice on the campus of Schenectady
County Community College (SCCC) beginning this fall, following approval by the State University of New York and the New York State
Education Department. The program will provide a seamless transfer for students who have completed an associate’s degree in criminal justice or a related field throughout the Mohawk Valley and Hudson
Valley regions.
Through experiential learning and theory, SUNY Delhi’s Criminal
Justice Studies baccalaureate program provides students with the academic foundation needed to pursue a variety of options in their field. Students will complete coursework in the areas identified by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, the field’s most respected professional and certifying organization. These areas include administration of justice, corrections, criminology theory, law adjudication, law enforcement, and research and analytical methods.
Graduates will be prepared to enter directly into employment or graduate study in the areas of criminal justice, public safety, criminal investigation, private security or political science. Students may study full- or part-time and will have ready access to academic advisement, support services, and financial aid advisement.
The program at Schenectady will be led by Patricia DeAngelis .
A graduate of Wellesley College and Albany Law School, DeAngelis interned at the New York State Supreme Court and the United States
Attorney’s office. She served as District Attorney for Rensselaer
County until 2008, and more recently served as director of outreach for the Northeast Regional Forensic Institute. She has taught courses in law and criminal justice at Albany Law School, Albany College of
Pharmacy, and Hudson Valley Community College.

The 2011 Stockholm Prize in Criminology has been jointly awarded to Robert
Sampson , Harvard University, and John Laub , the National Institute of Justice, for their research showing why and how criminals stop offending. The authors of the longest lifecourse study of criminal behavior ever conducted, Sampson and Laub discovered that even very active criminals can stop committing crimes for good after key “turning points” in their lives. In their sample of 500 male offenders born in the 1920s, these turning points included marriage, military service, employment, and other ways of cutting off their social ties to their offending peer group.
These findings, reported in their books Crime in the Making: Pathways and Turning
Points Through Life (1993) and Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives: Delinquent Boys to
Age 70 (2003), as well as in numerous articles, have had broad influence in criminology worldwide. They have also influenced the policy debate about criminal justice and sentencing, especially concerning the potential for rehabilitation. Their work has influenced other scholars to search for means by which offenders can be assisted to break their links to other offenders, such as by moving to new communities.
Sampson and Laub’s research methods included both quantitative and qualitative data collected at regular intervals over the life-course of 500 juvenile delinquents who were incarcerated in one of two institutions in Massachusetts in the late 1930s. The sample was drawn by the late Harvard Law School scholars, Sheldon Glueck and Eleanor Glueck, and utilized as material for their 1950 book, Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency . The study continued to collect data up to the age of 45 for some of the offenders. All of the data were boxed and stored in the basement of the Harvard Law School in 1972. John Laub discovered them in 1985.
With support from the National Institute of Justice, the researchers launched the second phase of the study of this sample. Collecting new data from a wide range of official records, they also launched a new round of interviews with the research subjects, then in their late sixties. These late-life data offered a major breakthrough in understanding how criminals stop, start again, and stop again, depending on the turning points in their lives. In what might be described as a combination of circumstance and will, these turning points provided new insights for the growing study of “desistance” from crime as a process, rather than as a result.
John Laub is the Director of the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the
United States Department of Justice. He is also a Professor of Criminology and Criminal
Justice on leave from the University of Maryland. He was elected President of the American
Society of Criminology in 2002, and received their highest research prize, the Edwin H.
Sutherland Award, in 2005. With Robert Sampson, he has also twice won the Albert J. Reiss
Jr. Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Crime, Law and Deviance, once for each of the two books on their Massachusetts life-course sample.
Robert Sampson is the Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences and former Chair of the Department of Sociology at Harvard University, currently on leave at the Russell
Sage Foundation in New York. Sampson was elected President of the American Society of
Criminology in 2010 and was awarded their Edwin H. Sutherland Award in 2002.
Both Sampson and Laub have also received awards from other learned societies for their joint research with the Glueck and Glueck sample. Both 2011 Stockholm Prize winners hold a PhD in Criminal Justice from the State University of New York at Albany.
The Stockholm Prize in Criminology was instituted in 2005 in order to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of criminological research or in the application of research findings by practitioners. The Prize is financed by foundations in United States,
Sweden, and Japan. The principal donor is the Jerry Lee Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated primarily to reducing crime and enhancing education through research on what works to achieve these goals. Donations are also made by Söderbergs Foundations, the
Hitachi Mirai Foundation, and the Japanese Correctional Association, and support from the Swedish Ministry of Justice. The Co-Chairs of the International Jury for the Stockholm
Prize are Lawrence Sherman (Cambridge University) and Jerzy Sarnecki (University of Stockholm). The Prize winners were selected by an independent jury comprised of criminologists from Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa, Australia, and Europe.
The award was presented to Sampson and Laub by Queen Silvia in a June ceremony at
Stockholm City Hall.

Noted criminologist Josine Junger-Tas passed away at age 81.
Junger-Tas was recognized by the Sellin-Glueck award (1989), the DIC
Distinguished International Scholar Award (2007), and the ESC European
Criminology Award (2008).
During her long career, she mostly focused on youth crime. She was a strong believer in prevention rather than punishment, and often spoke out publicly against the repressive youth policies that emerged in the
Netherlands over the last decade. Her work is published in Dutch, German,
French, Belgian, British, and American journals, reports, and books. She co-authored several articles with her daughter, Marianne Junger , also a
Dutch criminologist. Junger-Tas was a member of the Scientific Council of the Council of Europe and served on numerous international expert committees. She worked for 20 years at the Research and Documentation
Center (RDC) of the Dutch Ministry of Justice, honing her skills at “applied research with scientific integrity.” After retiring from the RDC in 1994, she became a professor of youth criminology at the University of Lausanne, where she received an honorary doctorate. Following her retirement, she was a visiting professor at various universities, most recently at Utrecht
University. In 2000, together with several European colleagues, she took the initiative to establish the European Society of Criminology. She organized the first ESC meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, and became the first ESC
President in 2001.
Junger-Tas launched the First International Self-Report Delinquency
Study (ISRD-1) in 1989, which was followed several years later by a much expanded ISRD-2, in which more than 30 countries collaborated. She had just finished her contribution to the book manuscript on the ISRD-2 when she fell ill. The Many Faces of Youth Crime: Comparing and Contrasting
Theoretical Perspectives on Youth Crime is now in press.
The Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences now honors outstanding mentors who during the course of their career have made a significant contribution to the professional development of graduate students and junior faculty members in criminal justice. Mentors are recognized for serving as an outstanding role model in a professional capacity in teaching, research, and service; demonstrating commitment to the career goals of the mentee(s); contributing to the professional development of the mentee(s); encouraging student involvement in professional organizations, and nurturing students and junior faculty contributions to professional organizations; and providing exemplary academic and professional service to student and junior faculty members.
ACJS Outstanding Mentors for 2011 include Anderson author
Peter Benekos (Mercyhurst College), coauthor, with Alida V. Merlo , of Controversies in Juvenile Justice and Delinquency , 2nd ed., and Crime
Control, Politics and Policy , 2nd ed. Other recipients include Richard
Bennett (American University), Julius Debro (University of Washington),
Shaun Gabiddon (Penn State Harrisburg), Helen Taylor Greene

Crime Mapping: A Journal of Research and Practice is now accepting manuscript submissions for its next issue. Submissions should focus on
(1) the theoretical dimension of crime mapping and analysis (i.e., the use of GIS techniques to advance the scientific body of knowledge with respect to criminological theories such as routine activities theory, crime pattern theory, or environmental criminology), (2) some applied aspect of crime mapping and analysis that addresses issues related to GIS and the administration of justice (i.e., ways GIS techniques are used to aid in management decision making, strategic planning, and/or tactical analysis), or (3) new technologies and/or techniques related to conducting spatial or temporal analysis in the field of criminology or criminal justice. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as an e-mail attachment. For those who prefer not to submit online, 4 copies of the original manuscript should be submitted to Timothy Hart at the address above. Submissions should include appropriate contact information.

Comments:
The Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice invites submissions for a special issue on the topic of youth gangs. Gangs have been the subject of empirical research for decades, and this issue will be dedicated to highlighting some new empirical research in the area. Empirical, theoretical, and policy-oriented papers are welcome, particularly papers that advance the empirical knowledge surrounding youth gangs in the
American or international context. Finn-Aage Esbensen (coauthor of
Anderson’s Criminology: Explaining Crime and its Context ) and Kristy
N. Matsuda, both of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, will serve as
Guest Editors for this special issue. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
An abstract of approximately 100 words and a brief biographical sketch that includes the author’s current affiliation, research interest(s), and recent publications must accompany the manuscript. Manuscripts must be 30 pages or less, double-spaced, including the abstract, biographical sketch, references, and all figures and tables. Manuscripts should be received no later than November 1, 2011. Send two electronic copies of the manuscript: one complete version (with a cover page containing the author’s name, title, institutional affiliation with complete address, e-mail and phone contact information; acknowledgments; research grant numbers; and the date, location, and conference at which the manuscript may have been presented, if any), and one blind copy with all identifying information removed to facilitate blind peer review. Manuscripts should be in MS Word format and conform to the formatting style of the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed.

Comments:
The Prison Journal is inviting submissions for a special issue focusing on corrections in Asia. As there is a very limited literature on corrections in Asian countries, they will accept papers on correctional systems in general and correctional officers and inmates in particular. Both theoretical and empirical studies are welcome. Empirical studies can be qualitative or quantitative. Send original manuscript by e-mail to the special issue editor. Manuscripts, including abstract, tables, figures, notes, and references, should not exceed 30 double-spaced, typed pages, with a 100-word abstract and a brief author biographical sketch. Notes, references, tables, and figures should also be double-spaced and on separate pages. Manuscripts should follow the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts are due
June 30, 2012.
