RT Article T1 Failure JF Criminology & public policy VO 23 IS 1 SP 27 OP 44 A1 Decker, Scott H. 1950- LA English YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1882518519 AB The Vollmer Award: The award honoring August Vollmer was first made in 1959. It is meant to recognize outstanding contributions to justice as well as scholarship and professional activity. I am honored to be the 2022 awardee because so many of the previous winners are individuals whose careers and work I have great respect for. Focus of My Remarks: This essay focuses on many failures in criminal justice policy and research. Costly though they may be, failures have the potential to teach us a good deal and we ignore them at our own peril. K1 Evaluation K1 Evidence based K1 Policing K1 Prisons DO 10.1111/1745-9133.12627
