Taxman Receives Two Awards from the ASC Division on Corrections and Sentencing

Dr. Faye Taxman, University Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society, has received two awards from the American Society of Criminology Division on Corrections and Sentencing.  Dr. Taxman received the Warren and Palmer Differential Intervention Award, which is given to a researcher, scholar, practitioner, or other individual who has significantly advanced the understanding, teaching, or implementation of classification, differential assignment, or differential approaches designed to promote improved social and personal adjustment and long-term change among juvenile and adult offenders. The award focuses on interventions, and on ways of implementing them that differ from “one-size-fits-all,” “one-size-largely-fits all,” or “almost fits all,” approaches. The recipient’s contribution can apply to community, residential, or institutional within or outside of the United States.  Dr. Taxman also received the Distinguished Scholar Award, which recognizes a lasting scholarly career, with particular emphasis on a ground-breaking contribution in the past five years.
