(Advances in Criminological Theory)
by Cheryl Lero Jonson (Editor), Travis C. Pratt (Editor)
A Criminologist’s Life: Essays in Honor of the Criminological Legacy of Francis T. Cullen
honors the vast scholarly contributions of Francis T. "Frank" Cullen as
well as the immeasurable influence that he has had on the field for
over 40 years.
With over 500 publications to his name and more
than 67,000 citations to his work, Frank Cullen has left an indelible
mark on the fields of criminology and criminal justice. Although best
known for his work on rehabilitation and criminological theory, Frank
also has profusely published in and shaped the areas of white-collar
crime, the use of meta-analytic techniques to organize knowledge, the
sexual victimization of college women, and public opinion on crime and
punishment. However, Frank’s legacy on the field is not limited to his
scholarly contributions: He has served as a mentor to countless
students, colleagues, and others in the field, helping support and guide
the next generation of scholars. Thus, the current volume is organized
to recognize both his scholarly work and mentoring, as well as to
provide an opportunity for Frank to reflect on his career "in his own
words."
The result is a collection of essays from Frank’s former
students, colleagues, and friends written to pay homage to the more than
40 years of work he has done to advance criminological knowledge and
shape the field.
