A Criminologist’s Life: Essays in Honor of the Criminological Legacy of Francis T. Cullen

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.
