Barbara Sims, Ph.D.., is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice in the School of Public Affairs, Penn State Harrisburg, where she also serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Survey Research. She is responsible for teaching both undergraduate and graduate: theories of crime and delinquency, research methods, and juvenile law and justice. Her research interests are in the area of criminological theory, public opinion on crime and justice, the relationship between causal attribution and punitiveness, treating the alcohol/drug-addicted correctional client, and domestic violence. Presently, she has a book in press with Haworth Press that explores issues related to treating the substance-addicted offender, both institutional- and community-based treatments, and is working as Co-Principal Investigator on two grants with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency: (1) evaluating Operation Nightlight programming (police/probation partnerships) in three Pennsylvania counties; and, (2) serving as the Research Partner to the Project Safe Neighborhoods Task Force for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Dr. Sims also is working with the Lebanon City Crime Commission to conduct a citizen survey of individuals' perceptions of neighborhood disorder, fear of crime, and attitudes toward their local police, simultaneously surveying the City's police department regarding officers' perceptions of the climate in which they work, both within the organization of the agency and across the communities they police. In Spring, 2002 Dr. Sims was awarded the Penn State Harrisburg James A. Jordan Teaching Award.
