They have also been called “The Most Prolific Sole and Lead Authors in Elite Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals,” 2000-2009. (Journal of Criminal Justice Education, 22 (1):24-42). Among them, you will find the winner of the American Society of Criminology’s most prestigious award – the Edwin H. Sutherland Award – and many other national award winners.
