A recent book by University at Albany professor Terence Thornberry and his colleagues, Gangs and Delinquency in Developmental Perspective (Cambridge University Press), won the American Society of Criminology's 2003 Michael J. Hindelang Award for the most outstanding contribution to research in criminology. Thornberry, a distinguished professor of criminal justice and director of the Hindelang Criminal Justice Research Center, has directed the Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS) since its inception in 1986. His co-authors are: Marvin Krohn, professor of sociology with a joint appointment in the School of Criminal Justice, and the author of many articles on adolescent delinquency, drug use, gangs, and gun use; Alan Lizotte, professor of criminal justice and a nationally known expert on patterns of gun ownership and the impact of guns on criminal behavior; Carolyn Smith, an associate professor of social welfare who studies the impact of the family, including parental abuse and maltreatment, on teen development; and Kimberly Tobin, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Westfield State College, who earned her Ph.D. in sociology from UAlbany.
