Known to most around the criminol- ogy department as “Nicky,” she served as Graduate Coordinator in the Program in Criminology in 2011, and as Associate Dean for Graduate Programs in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences between November 2012 and June 2015. Prior to arriving at UT-Dallas, she was on the faculties of Florida State University, Virginia Commonwealth University, John Jay College of Criminal Justice/City Uni- versity of New York, University of Florida, and Northeastern University. While liv- ing in Tallahassee, Dr. Piquero discovered her love for running marathons. Enlisting the help of a personal trainer in order to keep up with a healthy lifestyle, she ended up running 10 miles on a treadmill one day, because she did not want to miss the ending of the football game she was watching as she ran. Realizing this, her trainer encouraged her to keep up and train for marathons. Running her first half-marathon later that year, Dr. Piquero continues to run on a regular basis. This year, she has signed up for numerous Disney marathons. Her most recent on was the Dopey mara- thon, which led to her decorating her cell phone and part of her office with products modeled after the dwarf from Snow White. Her next planned marathon is themed after Marvel’s Avengers, where she plans to wear a running suit and arm bands that mimic Captain America’s costume. Running is “her time” to herself, and her break from the stress of work. According to her, “I run. I work. I eat. That’s my life.” She quickly adds, “You probably should throw Alex in there, too. He’s kind of important,” referring to her high school sweetheart and fellow criminologist husband, who also holds administrative and teaching positions at UTD. Although she states that each place they have lived has had something unique about, her favorite thus far remains New York City, because “it’s New York City; it’s the epicenter of the world.” Regardless, what sticks out about Dal- las to her is the commitment of the running community, and their dedication to running despite the summer heat. Af- ter marathons, she likes to reward herself by going out for turkey or chicken burgers and fries with her husband. Her favorite place to do so is Hopdoddy’s. Her other indulgence is treating herself to topping-loaded frozen yogurt on days she runs 13 miles or more. Despite her busy schedule, she insists that she makes time for everything she enjoys, waking up at 5:30 a.m. to go to the gym. Inspired by her graduate mentor Sally Simpson, Dr. Piquero entered the field of white collar criminological research, and has been “hooked” ever since. Her interests lie in understanding whether crime theories and policies can explain offending in special groups, and in understanding why advantaged people break the law. She has published 69 peer- reviewed articles in the areas of corporate/white-collar crime, gender and crime, and criminological theory in leading journals as well as several book chapters. Several articles in the Journal of Criminal Justice Education have identified her as among the leading female criminologists in terms of publications and citations in highly select articles. In addi- tion to her editorship of the Journal of Drug Issues (2009-2012), she serves on many other editorial boards in crimi- nology/criminal justice. Her research and teaching record are marked by several awards, including the University of Texas at Dallas School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences Outstanding Teaching Comet Award, the Univer- sity of Florida’s College of Arts & Sciences Teacher of the Year Award (2005-6), and the National White Collar Crime Center’s Young Career Award (2008) and Outstanding Publication Award (2011). She has been involved in numerous departmental and university committees over the course of her career. Dr. Piquero has also served in a number of different capacities in both the American Society of Criminology and the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. For the Academy, she has been a member of its Executive Board as well as Co-Chair of its 2014 conference and in 2015 she was elected 2nd Vice President and will assume its Presidency in 2017.
