University of Arkansas professor earns criminology honor

Mindy Bradley, an associate professor at the University of Arkansas, has been chosen as executive counselor of the American Society of Criminology’s Division of Corrections and Sentencing.

Bradley, who teaches in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, earned the honor for her work in the discipline, both academically and through service contributions.
 
"Being elected executive counselor for a division of the ASC is a great honor for a sociology and criminal justice faculty member," Bradley said. "It offers a great opportunity for me to continue to serve the profession and guide the direction of the division in advancing the development and implementation of fair sentencing and ethical and humane correctional policies."

The American Society of Criminology pursues scholarly, scientific, and professional knowledge of the measurement, etiology, consequences, control and treatment of crime and delinquency. The Division of Corrections and Sentencing fosters knowledge on penology through research and practice.
 
"She is a nationally and internationally recognized scholar in corrections and sentencing, and her research has been published in first-rate university presses and the top criminology, sociology and criminal justice journals," Anna Zajicek, the university’s chair of the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, said of Bradley. "Her service to the department, Fulbright College, University of Arkansas, and to the discipline has truly been remarkable, and includes serving as the director of online education in the department."

Bradley has worked at the University of Arkansas since 2005.
