Fall 2009 - Department of Criminal Justice Sciences

Fall
2009
Chair’s remarks
Jacqueline Schneider
Because of David Falcone’s much anticipated retirement, the department once again was in
need of a new department chair. On June 1, 2009, I assumed those responsibilities—becoming
the department’s ninth chair since 1974. I am very excited about the opportunity and know
that with the help of an extremely talented and dedicated faculty and staff we will accomplish
great things in the coming years.
Al Bowman, president of Illinois State University and Jeff Wood, dean of College of
Applied Science and Technology, have set forth the challenging goal of becoming internationally recognized for excellence in teaching and research. The Department of Criminal Justice
Sciences is well positioned to build on the expertise of our faculty to become just that—
international experts in our respective fields of inquiry and for the program to draw students
from around the world. In the coming months and years, we will examine ways to provide our
students the best education possible regarding American crime and justice, but we will also
strive to make our students truly global citizens by expanding our understanding of how the
world responds to crime and justice issues and how the American experience fits into it.
I received my doctorate from the University of Cincinnati and my master’s in public
administration from The Ohio State University. For six years, I taught and conducted research
in England. My work with Mike Sutton on stolen goods markets, the Market Reduction Approach, was put forward as best practice in England and Wales and has attracted interest by
policy makers in Chilé. I was the first recipient of the UK’s Home Office’s Innovative Research
Challenge Grant. Prior to my work in England, I taught undergraduate courses at universities
in the United States, receiving an outstanding teaching award. My research is focused on crime
reduction. From it, I’ve authored several papers and chapters in books on gangs, stolen goods
markets and gun crime. I’m currently working on a book on the illegal trade in endangered
species with Praeger.
I look forward to a very promising future here at CJS.

Ingram begins this fall as an assistant professor of criminal justice
sciences. He is originally from the Danville area and received his
bachelor’s and master’s degrees in administration of justice from
Southern Illinois University–Carbondale. Ingram will earn his
Ph.D. in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State
University in fall 2009.
Ingram’s research interests lie in the field of policing. Over the
last three years, he has served as the research site director for the
National Institute of Justice funded project, Assessing Police Use
of Force Policies and Outcomes. This project provides an in-depth
look at how different types of use of force policies influence outcomes such as citizen and officer injuries, citizen complaints, and lawsuits in order to provide
insight to police practitioners for future policy making and development. His dissertation research examined the police attitude-behavior relationship. It took a multilevel approach to test
whether group effects play an important role in shaping officers’ attitudes toward their work,
which in turn, affect officers’ use of force behavior.
Ingram’s recent articles have appeared in journals such as Police Quarterly, Law Enforcement Executive Forum, Deviant Behavior, Criminal Justice Review, and Western Criminology
Review. He is teaching Introduction to Criminal Justice and Contemporary Policing this fall.
2009 Annual Awards Ceremony

Alpha Phi Sigma
Alpha Phi Sigma had another great year. During the 2008–2009
school year, APS hosted a variety of guest speakers; took part in the
homecoming parade; raised money for the Special Olympics Torch
Run by selling 50/50 raffle tickets as their spring fundraiser; took
part in the Poster Program for the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children; hosted a night of bowling and billiards for past,
present, and future members, and cleaned up Fell Park each month as
their community service.
The highlighted guest speakers were Joan Brem, from Illinois
Search Dogs, who visited and brought her two search-and-rescue
dogs and gave a presentation to our students about her work assisting law enforcement in missing persons cases and cadaver recovery.
Cheri Miller, Twin Cities Behavioral Health, spoke in April about sex
offenders covering topics on who sex offenders are, why they offend,
and how to treat them. Richard Crum is an arson investigator. Crum
also presented in April. He discussed the responsibilities of arson
investigators, as well as his own experiences on the job.
According to Kyle Gregg, president of APS, this fall 2009
semester, APS is again planning on building a float for the Homecoming Parade and is
continuing to clean up Fell Park and host guest speakers. Their big event in planning is an
internship panel. APS is going to have Illinois State graduates who have completed their internship at different agencies, including Secret Service, probation, parole, patrol officer, corrections, and more. Come back for an evening filled with food, stories, and camaraderie to share
what the internship process is like, what they liked and didn’t like, what to expect, and what
they learned. It will be an open, informal forum where students can come, eat, and ask the former interns any and all questions they might have. The date for this is still to be determined,
so make sure to check the Department of Criminal Justice Web site for more details.

6 The Rap Sheet
Ralph Weisheit and William White published Methamphetamine: Its History, Pharmacology,
and Treatment (2009). In recent years, the media has inundated us with coverage of the horrors
that befall methamphetamine users and the fires, explosions, and toxic waste created by meth
labs that threaten the well-being of innocent people. In Methamphetamine: Its History, Pharmacology, and Treatment, the first book in Hazelden’s Library of Addictive Drugs series, Ralph
Weisheit and William L. White examine the nature and extent of meth use in the United
States, from meth’s early reputation as a ‘wonder drug’ to the current perception that it is a
‘scourge’ of society.
In separating fact from fiction, Weisheit and White provide context for understanding the
meth problem by tracing its history and the varying patterns of use over time, then offer an
in-depth look at:
• the latest scientific findings on the effects of the drug on individuals
• the myths and realities of the drug’s impact on the mind
• the national and international implications of methamphetamine production
• the drug’s impact on rural communities, including a case study of two counties in the
Midwest
• issues in addiction and treatment of meth
Thoroughly researched and highly readable, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of medical, social, and political issues concerning this highly impactful drug.
The Myth of Prison Rape: Sexual Culture in American Prisons
By Mark S. Fleisher and Jessie L. Krienert
Mark S. Fleisher and Jessie L. Krienert published The Myth of Prison Rape: Sexual Culture in
American Prisons (2009). The Myth of Prison Rape asserts that sexual violence is not as widespread in the prison system as it is portrayed in popular media and culture, but provides a
more nuanced picture of the complex sexual dynamics of the incarcerated. Drawing on results
of the most comprehensive study of inmate sexuality, drawn from over 500 interviews of
inmates across the country, Mark Fleisher and Jessie Krienert analyze the troubling topic of
prison rape in both practice and myth, and provide concrete recommendations for change.

Changing lives and saving lives…
By Dorothy Witte, director of Development
The world of law enforcement, courts, and corrections, where many of our criminal justice sciences alums are employed, is constantly changing and saving lives. I suggest this same descriptor applies to our faculty and donors, and the quality of education at Illinois State University
depends on both.
As an alum or friend of the Department of Criminal Justice Sciences, your donation
of time, talent, or treasure will make a difference in teaching excellence and research, and
learning opportunities for students. Your willingness to arrange internships, mentor students,
recruit graduates, serve as a guest speaker, “open doors” to sources of influence and funding,
and provide financial support are all important and impactful “gifts.”
To the 4,657 living alums of the department, I ask you to make a financial commitment
at whatever level you can afford. Your contribution serves as an investment in the department
and also serves as a personal endorsement. The percentage of alums who are donors is a statis-
tical indicator of “satisfaction.” It is a quantifiable measurement considered in national ranking
of universities as well as funding proposals submitted to foundations and corporations. While
every gift is valued and valuable, alumni support is reportable evidence of approval.
As the director of Development for the College of Applied Science and Technology, I
welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss opportunities for you to “change lives and save
lives” as a donor. We can discuss many options including deferred giving arrangements, establishing a scholarship, creating an endowment, setting up a multi-year pledge of support, etc.
