Who We Are

The USF College of Behavioral and Community Sciences (CBCS) advances knowledge through interdisciplinary teaching, research and service that improves the capacity of individuals, families and diverse communities to promote productive, satisfying, healthy and safe lives. Our alumni serve the community in many roles, including mental health counselors, social workers, behavioral health-care practitioners, first responders, long-term care administrators, and speech and language professionals.

What We Do

The Department of Criminology, within CBCS, is a nationally ranked program. Its members are well-respected researchers who have contributed to studying macro- and micro-level models of criminal behavior, victimology, race, violence, juvenile justice, corrections, and radical and green criminology.

Your Impact

She has been recognized with six awards for teaching excellence, including USF's prestigious Jerome Krivanek Distinguished Teacher Award. She has served the local community and the state of Florida for many decades as an extraordinary teacher, scholar and professional service provider.
