An avid Web

number of award-winning websites, including the popular Criminal Justice Cybrary
(now owned by Prentice Hall Publishing Co.) and the (now
historical) Distance

founding editor of the journal Criminal
Justice
Studies (formerly The Justice Professional). He has
served as editor for the Prentice Hall series Criminal Justice in the
Twenty-First Century
and as imprint adviser for Greenwood Publishing Group's
criminal justice reference series.
Schmalleger's
philosophy of both teaching and writing can be summed up in
these words: "In order to communicate knowledge we
must first catch, then hold, a person's interest -- be it
student, colleague, or policymaker. Our writing, our
speaking, and our teaching must be relevant to the problems
facing people today, and they must in some way help solve those
problems." Visit the author's page
