Biography
Office Hours: By appointment only
I received my Ph.D. from Florida State University and I am currently a Professor of Criminology at The University of West Georgia. My research interests vary, but I am currently focusing on comparative/international policing, organizational administration and leadership, and Terrorism. I have recently been awarded a fellowship with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. I enjoy spending time with my wife Cathi and my two children Annika (9) and Nicholas (6), playing golf, and biking.
