Frost Northeastern University Joshua D. Freilich John Jay College of Criminal Justice The 2009 American Society of Criminology program promises to be another intellectually and socially stimulating conference. The Philadelphia program also promises to be one of the largest ASC conferences in recent years, featuring more than 600 panel sessions and more than 220 poster presentations. Together with ASC President, Todd R. Clear, we decided on the program theme Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy because it really captures the spirit of much of the recent work undertaken by both the ASC board and by many individual members of the society. Criminologists are increasingly acknowledging – indeed often emphasizing – the policy relevance of their work. In keeping with the program theme, we wanted to somehow highlight policy throughout the 2009 program. To do so, we decided to feature a new kind of session. For the 2009 conference, we solicited the usual individual presentations, thematic panels, roundtables and posters, but also included a new type of submission – policy proposals. Those interested in presenting policy proposals needed to submit an abstract by the regular deadline and a full draft of the essay just two months later (and almost six months ahead of the actual conference). The program chairs, Todd Clear, and eight Policy Area Chairs vetted the proposals in a mini-peer review process that was designed primarily to ensure the submission met the established criteria for presentation during a policy proposal session. The author needed to articulate and then defend a policy proposal relying on a body of empirical evidence. Two discussants – chosen by the committee – were selected to serve as discussants responding to the policy proposal during the session. These policy proposal sessions are featured sessions offered throughout the program on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. No more than two of the policy sessions are running at any one time and all will be held in one of two rooms (Franklin 1 or Franklin 2). The format for these sessions involves presentation of the policy proposal, comments from each of the two discussants, followed by an open panel/audience discussion. We expect these sessions will be lively forums for policy debates and encourage all members to attend these sessions. In a unique arrangement, Cengage Learning graciously agreed to publish the book, Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice Policy: Policy Proposals from the American Society of Criminology Conference, and distribute it free-of-charge at the conference. The book, edited by Frost, Freilich, and Clear, features all 23 policy proposals along with 30 response essays written by leading scholars in their respective areas (who will also serve as discussants for the sessions). A complimentary copy of the book is being made available to every registered conference attendee and we strongly encourage all to pick use their coupon to pick up their copy during the conference. 4 In addition to the policy sessions, the conference will also feature four presidential plenary sessions offered in the lunch hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and a day- long series of sessions focused on policing in Philadelphia. The Policing Philadelphia sessions were organized by colleagues at Temple University and feature prominent policing scholars from around the country presenting alongside some of Philadelphia’s top police officials, including Philadelphia Police Commissioner Ramsey. We have no doubt that these special sessions will also be very popular and fulfilling. Although we obviously encourage session attendance, we are well-aware of the draw of the city of Philadelphia and we hope that all conference attendees take some time out to enjoy this beautiful city. Our conference hotel is in a prime location in downtown Philadelphia with many of the city’s best neighborhoods within walking distance (and Philadelphia is indeed a city of many different neighborhoods). The wonderful and incomparable Reading Terminal Market is diagonally across the street from the hotel. Those of you who have no idea what the Reading Terminal Market is now will no doubt be singing its praises before the end of the week! We can only imagine how many of you will use this opportunity to try on the persona of Rocky Balboa and train on the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum. All we ask is that those of you who do brave jogging the museum’s many (68? 72?) steps share your videos with the rest of us! Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Penn’s Landing are must-see sights for any first time visitor and, for those who still enjoy a high- calorie, high-fat diet of meat and grease, no visit to Philadelphia would be complete without a stop at Pat’s or Geno’s for the quintessential Philly cheesesteak. Our colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania graciously took on local arrangements for the conference and have provided an eclectic assortment of things to do in and around the city. As program chairs for the 2009 ASC conference, we sincerely hope you enjoy both the conference and your time in the city known as “the city of brotherly love.” We would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Kiki Yoon for her tireless work as program assistant, to Carlos Monteiro for his willingness to help out, to Susan Case (without whom none of this would work so smoothly), and to all of the members of the program committee who worked with us to make this 2009 Philadelphia program come to life. 5 2009 ASC PROGRAM COMMITTEE Program Committee Co-Chairs Natasha A.
