Geoff Ward, Associate Professor of Criminology, Law and Society, is the recipient of the 2013 Hildelang Award from the American Society of Criminology for his remarkable book, The Black Child-Savers: Racial Democracy & Juvenile Justice. The Hindelang Award is generally regarded as the most prestigious book award in criminology. In The Black Child-Savers, the first study of the rise and fall of Jim Crow juvenile justice system, Ward examines the origins and organization of the separate and unequal juvenile justice system.
