Some unstructured socializing. Welcome to a new semester with The Criminology Academy podcast!!! We are so excited to officially present our first episode of the semester — Professor Wayne Osgood! Join us as we learn about Wayne’s career as a criminologist, his work on delinquency, and his thoughts on the field of criminology.
Criminologist Wayne Osgood spent the largest share of his career at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, which he joined in 1996 and retired from in 2016. His research has focused on peers and delinquency, time use and offending, crime and the life course, and evaluating programs to prevent and reduce delinquency. From 2012 through 2017 he served as the Lead Editor of the journal Criminology, and in November 2022 he received the American Society of Criminology’s top award for research in criminology, the Edwin Sutherland award.
