<\/p>\n
Dr. Gerald Ladhoff was a transitional scholar who supported the move from police science as a technical training program to the development of criminology and criminal justice as social science disciplines. This viewpoint is evident in his wish that the speaker series would bring respected scholars in these fields to campus.<\/p>\n
Dr. Ray Michalowski, who served as department chair between 1991 and 2001 and is a current member of the Scholarship and Speaker Committee, shared some insights about Dr. Ladhoff\u2019s vision:<\/p>\n
\u201cI had the opportunity to speak with Jerry Ladhoff many years ago when I was chair\u2026about the direction the department was taking\u2026toward a version of criminology in which things like social difference and social justice mattered\u2026he was very supportive. He said that the field needed to grow with the times. Presently many scholars of crime and justice have come to recognize that crimes by the powerful are as harmful, if not more so than the street crimes that have historically been the focus of local policing. Having some lectures in Jerry Ladhoff’s name that address these emergent issues is, in my view, very much in keeping with his legacy as a forward-thinking scholar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Our goal is to honor this vision and legacy by providing thinkers and experienced practitioners who can speak to the cutting edges of knowledge in the disciplines of criminology and criminal justice.<\/p>\n\nDepartment of Criminology and Criminal Justice<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
