The students are finally settled on their topics and they are in the beginning phases of their research projects. This semester should prove to be exceedingly interesting as they have chosen some outstanding topics. Research is to be conducted concerning various elements of eyewitness evidence, ballistics, blood spatter analysis, decomposition, cell phone distraction while driving and many more. I am proud to be mentoring these students as they embark upon the research process. I will keep you posted as to their progress and continue looking forward to the Undergraduate Research Symposium...I expect these projects to do very well at this event.

Welcome back to one and all...I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. This semester promises to be an interesting and busy one, as a large number of the criminology students will be conducting individual and group research projects in conjunction with their courses. The students are currently developing their ideas and determining an appropriate methodology, so I will be able to post specifics concerning their projects very soon. Many of these students will also be entering their research in the Undergraduate Research Symposium (held on April 21st) with the hope of showcasing their researching prowess while making a few extra dollars in prize money to go along with it. I am excited to see all of the student entries from across campus - as each year the students do a better and better job. I can only imagine the terrific work that will be presented this year…
