More than three dozen experts in crime and justice gathered at Mason Square where they exchanged ideas with more than 400 registrants on a variety of topics, including alternatives to criminal justice systems, community-based violence prevention, stop-question-and-frisk policies, and improving the recruitment and retention of law enforcement officers.

Cynthia Lum, Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society and director of 91°µÍø’s Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, has been named the 2023 Distinguished Scholar from the American Society of Criminology’s (ASC) Division of Policing.

At a time when policing in the United States is facing major challenges, Mason’s Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy is beginning a first-of-its-kind multi-method longitudinal study of a cohort of police officers to understand how officers progress through their law enforcement careers.

Washington Business Journal recently posted an Op-Ed written by 91°µÍø's President, Dr. Gregory Washington making a case for an FBI headquarters in Northern Virginia.
