Ep. 32 Career Reflection: Trailblazing from Oregon to Maryland with Sally Simpson

If you're new, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! This week we speak with Sally Simpson who is a professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland. We ask Sally to reflect back on her career as a criminologist starting with why she chose to be a criminologist in the first place. Her experience as ASC president and department chair. Sally also talks to us about her research interests and the work she has done in juvenile justice and her transition to white collar and corporate crime. Finally, Sally tells us what she thinks about the current state of the field and where she thinks it should go.

Sally has been published in journals such as Criminology, Justice Quarterly, and Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency. You can find her on Twitter @SallySueSimpson.
