Distinquished Criminologist
John Laub, a faculty member of the college of criminal justice at Northeastern University, received the School of Criminal Justice's Distinguished Alumnus Award at the Recognition Dinner of the Rockefeller College on Monday, Nov. 10.
Laub, now a nationally reknowned criminologist, has written seven books, 30 articles, and a host of other papers in his field. He also specializes in the development of criminal behavior during the life-course of individuals, similar to the research now being conducted by the Rochester Youth Development Institute.
The Bible with Humorous Slant
Edward P. Moser '72, author of The Politically Correct Guide to American History, has published The Politically Correct Guide to the Bible, a fresh take on the Old Testament. In this humor celebration of the Good Book, the most familiar Bible stories are recast according to core notions of political correctness.
In this alternate biblical universe, David and Goliath bond on the battlefield, Cain and Abel come to terms with their sibling rivalry, and the apostles struggle wtih diversity. From Samson to St. Peter, from Eden to Sodom & Gomorrah, no proverb, psalm, or parable is spared.
