Criminal Justice Faculty Sweep Awards for Top Article, Book of 2010
University of Cincinnati Criminal Justice faculty Bonnie Fisher and Francis Cullen, along with colleague and CJ graduate Leah L. Daigle of Georgia State, will take top honors in both book and article categories at the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences' (ACJS) annual meeting in March 2011.
Fisher and Cullen will receive the 2010 Outstanding Book Award for "Unsafe in the Ivory Tower: Sexual Victimization on College Campuses." The work represents over 15 years of research in the study of the sexual victimization of college women, including a national-level study of over 4,000 women. Says Cullen of his research associate Fisher, she is now one of the two or three leading authorities nationally in the area of sexual victimization of women.
Cullen and Fisher also garnered the Justice Quarterly's ACJS Donal MacNamara Award for the 2010 article "What Distinguishes Single Sexual Victims from Recurring Ones? The Role of Lifestyle-Routine Activities and First-Incident Characteristics." The MacNamara Award for Outstanding Journal Publication, which Cullen also received last year, recognizes outstanding scholarship in one of ACJS publications (Justice Quarterly, Journal of Criminal Justice Education, and ACJS Today).
It is quite an honor to receive both the outstanding book and outstanding article award in the same year, says Ed Latessa, director of the School of Criminal Justice.
The awards will be presented to Fisher and Cullen as part of the ACJS annual meeting, held March 5 -11 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
UCs nationally-ranked School of Criminal Justice holds a number one ranking for research productivity, and recognition in U.S. News & World Report as one of the top three doctoral programs in the nation.
