Building on nearly three dozen books using a similar format, Letters to a Young Criminologist provides a long-overdue, valuable, and engaging analysis and advice for individuals considering a career as an academic criminologist.

Drawing on the author’s three decades of experience as a criminologist working in government and university settings, academic research, personal experience, and numerous conversations with students, administrators, and fellow criminologists over the years, the book offers helpful, practical, and highly accessible insights for experts and nonspecialists alike. Key features include:

• Offers helpful, practical, and valuable analysis and advice for people considering a career as an academic criminologist.
• Is tailored primarily to undergraduate and graduate students and untenured assistant professors, but is also relevant to a broader audience.
• Draws on the author’s extensive experience and scholarly research and combines research and personal anecdotes.
• Provides accessible insights for both specialists and those new to the field.

While the book is primarily directed at undergraduate and graduate students and early-career academics in this increasingly popular academic field/discipline, its insights are equally relevant to criminal justice practitioners and professionals, including people contemplating or currently working in law enforcement, corrections, probation, or parole as officers, court personnel, and criminal lawyers.
