Merlo President, ACJS 2 20()() Program Chair's Message Annual Ivleeting The members of the 2000 Annual Meeting Program Committee and I welcome you to h New Orleans and the 37t Annual Meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Our program is probably the biggest one that the Academy has ever had with over 400 scheduled sessions. I hope that you will have the opportunity to participate in the plenary sessions, panels, roundtables, workshops, tours, and receptions. In the Exhibit Hall this year, there will be approximately 50 exhibitor booths. Publishers are planning to demonstrate their latest academic software in the technology room which is located right near the Exhibit Hall. Be sure to pay them a visit. This year, for the first time, meeting participants were able to submit their abstracts via e­ mail and the ACJS website. Although the system was not flawless, it signals a new era in our Annual Meeting process. I hope that future Program Committees will continue to use the website to disseminate information about our meeting and to encourage participants. th The complete 37 Annual Meeting Program has been available on the website since January. Thus far, more than 11,000 visitors have gone to our website. A number of colleagues have made significant contributions to the Program Committee this year. In particular, I would like to thank my colleagues in the Criminal Justice Department at Central Missouri State University. Their support, along with that of my Graduate Assistants and our Department Secretary, Barbara McNeel, is greatly appreciated. Thanks! A special thank you to Laura Monaco and Liz Trisko at the National Office in Alexandria. They were very willing to experiment with a new program format, and together we learned how to solve some of our first year technology trials. th To all the members of the 37 Annual Program Committee, a heartfelt thank you. This Annual Meeting Program is due largely to your efforts. From publicity to poster sessions, and from featured panels to plenary sessions, you folks made it all happen.

  • The Honourable Wilhelm Carl Bourne for the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws of the University Honoris Causa
    GRADUATION 2008 Presentation speech for The Honourable Wilhelm Carl Bourne for the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws of the University honoris causa Chancellor, The Honourable Wilhelm Bourne, Attorney General of Anguilla, West Indies, is no stranger to the University of Buckingham. Not only was he one of our early graduates in law, graduating in 1987 as a mature student, but he has retained strong links with the University recommending several students to follow in his footsteps, and being a very gracious host to University staff visiting Bermuda – and, we hope, now Anguilla! Like the University of Buckingham Wilhelm Bourne has gone on to develop his reputation and professional career in a global context. But whereas the University has stayed firmly in the midst of the Buckinghamshire countryside, Wilhelm Bourne has gone on to live, work and be honoured in no less than 4 different islands in the West Indies! Chancellor, the University of Buckingham is justly proud to have such an illustrious and successful alumnus. His many achievements, both before coming to Buckingham and latterly as Solicitor General of Bermuda and more recently as Attorney-General of Anguilla, mean that it is an honour for me to present him to you. (And to welcome his wife, family and friends to the University) Wilhelm Bourne was born in Barbados where he received his primary and secondary education prior to entering the Barbados Civil Service. Here he served in the Department of Statistics. While serving in this department, he was recruited into the Bermuda Police Force where he was swiftly promoted to Inspector.
