ASC'S Critical Criminology Division Awards, 1998

1998 Division Awards

The Division of Critical Criminology of the American Society of Criminology
is pleased to announce the recipients of this year's awards:

	Major Achievement Award

Signifies singular contributions to the development of critical criminology
scholarship or pedagogy over time; or, contributions of an exceptional
recent accomplishment.  

	Richard Quinney
	Department of Sociology
	Northern Illinois University

Professor Quinney's impact on critical criminology, as well as the
discipline as a whole, is rivaled by few. He has written or edited nearly
two dozen books and published dozens of articles on crime, law, social
problems, and criminal justice.  His research and theorizing have taken a
variety of forms, but his work has always displayed a concern for peace and
humanism.  He is widely regarded as a founder of critical criminology and
one of the most influential criminologists of the 20th century.

	Critical Criminologist of the Year Award

Recognizing a scholar who has symbolized the spirit of the Division in some
combination of scholarship, teaching, and/or service within the past year.

	Jeff Ferrell
	Department of Criminal Justice	
	Northern Arizona University

Professor Ferrell's recent contributions to critical criminology include
the publication of two books and several articles and book chapters on
cultural criminology, anarchism, ethnography, and state crime.
He is an active manuscript reviewer and editor, and has delivered lectures
on his research both in and outside of the United States.  His book with
Clinton Sanders, Cultural Criminology, was a finalist for the ASC's
Hindelang Award.
