About Us
We are academic criminologists and scholars who respect science and the scientific process.

- represent the best of our values, including protections for free speech and open inquiry
- serve as platforms for the creation and dissemination of knowledge and not as platforms for political indoctrination
- represent ALL students equally and without prejudice
- be responsible and accountable for how they spend student tuition and tax-payer funds
