Dr. Cortney Franklin is the first to receive the New Scholar Award from the Victimology Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences for her extensive publications in the field.
Dr. Cortney Franklin received the inaugural New Scholar Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Science’s Victimology Section at the association’s 2012 annual meeting in New York.
"I am honored to be recognized in this capacity,” said Dr. Franklin. “I love what I do, and I believe it is a privilege to be able to engage in policy-relevant victimization research and teach students about the correlates and consequences of victimization. It is especially meaningful that these efforts have been recognized by one of our national organizations."
The New Scholar Award is given annually in recognition of the achievements of a scholar who shows outstanding merit at the beginning of their career in the area of victimology. To date, Dr. Franklin has published 16 scholarly articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Criminal Justice and Behavior, Aggressive Behavior, Feminist Criminology, Journal of Criminal Justice, Violence Against Women, Journal of Family Violence, Victims and Offenders, and Women and Criminal Justice. Ten of these articles are related directly to the study of victimization.
