We received a grant from @Arnold_Ventures to tackle the law enforcement recruiting crisis. With partners across Florida, we’ll explore why some top candidates are hesitant to join, and how to change that. Please reach out if you want to collaborate. @USFResearch @USFCriminology
As the Director of Undergraduate Research for the college, I am especially proud that @USFCBCS awarded the highest number of Undergraduate Research Scholarships in the program's history. The research projects this year were outstanding.

One of which was my student Grant's, highlighting his efforts with the AiR project. Grant is an outstanding @USFCriminology undergraduate student who has worked on the project over the last two semesters. We are thankful for his many contributions. Congratulations Grant!
I am especially proud that this year, @USFCriminology made 5 offers to students to join our PhD program and all 5 were accepted (100% acceptance rate). In my view, this speaks to the quality of our program and its upward trajectory.
And a big shout out to our Grad Director @MouleCrime for his part in making this happen!

I am trying to get ahold of the FLOW bus (Florida Licensing on Wheels). If you have a contact there, please let me know! Does this resource still exist? @FLHSM
Contact link on their website does not work. Any help would be appreciated! flhsmv.gov/locations/florida…. .
Congratulations to the brilliant @MatSantos7 for his tenure and promotion to Associate Professor! This is well-deserved recognition for his outstanding research, teaching, and service. I am thankful to have him as a colleague and friend. @USFCBCS @USFCriminology

Many police agencies in the US are facing staffing shortages despite offering strong employee incentives. Our study explores why students are not interested in a career in police, and what could be done to change their minds. @ChaeJaynes & @justifyjusticee doi.org/10.1111/1745-9133.12…

We are so lucky to work with such a talented student. This is Kiera's first published paper! I can't wait to see what she does next.
