Bio

Rosemary Barberet is Professor in the Sociology Department with teaching and service in International Criminal Justice.  A native of Connecticut and trained in criminology in the United States (PhD, University of Maryland, 1994), she commenced her academic career in Europe (Spain and England). Dr. Barberet's publications have dealt with self-reported youth crime, women and  crime, crime indicators, comparative methodology and victimology. Her presentations and guest lectures span two continents, three languages and have been delivered to public service professionals (police officers, judges and court employees, women's associations) as well as to academic colleagues.  From 2001-2005 she chaired the International Division of the American Society of Criminology. She is actively involved in a number of criminology associations around the world and is fluent in Spanish and French. In 2006 Dr. Barberet was awarded the Herbert Bloch Award of the American Society of Criminology for service to the society and to the professional interests of criminology, as well as the Rafael Salillas Award of the Sociedad Espanola de Investigación Criminológica.  Her book, Women, Crime and Criminal Justice: A Global Enquiry (2014) won awards from both the Division of International Criminology of the American Society of Criminology and the International Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.  From 2014-2018 she was the editor of Feminist Criminology, and in 2017 she received the Saltzman Award for Practice and the Sarah Hall Award for Service Contributions from the Division on Women and Crime of the American Society of Criminology.  Dr. Barberet represents the International Sociological Association (ISA) and Criminologists Without Borders at the United Nations. She has consulted for the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Colombian Government's Statistical Agency DANE, and the Puerto Rico Council on Higher Education.  She was an invited expert to the Technical Consultative Expert Group Meeting on Making the United Nations Crime Prevention Guidelines Work.
