Ep. 38 Career Reflection: Hitting our Turning Point with Rob Sampson
Description
Hi! If you're new, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! This week we speak with Robert J. Sampson who is a professor of sociology at Harvard University. We ask Rob to reflect back on his career starting with his early influences and how/why he decided to study crime. We then discuss his contributions to the field, mainly communities and crime and life-course criminology. Finally, we ask Rob to tell us what he's most proud of and where he would like to see the field of criminology go in the future.
Rob has been published in journals such as Criminology, Science, and American Sociological Review. He also authored "Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect".
