    Richard Tewksbury

    Dr. Richard Tewksbury is Professor of Justice Administration and the previous Editor of the journals Justice Quarterly and the American Journal of Criminal Justice. His research is primarily in three areas: institutional corrections, sex offender registration and gender/sexuality/alternative-lifestyles.

His work with sex offenders focuses on community responses to sex offenses/offenders, and the consequences of sex offender registration. In regards to sexuality/alternative-lifestyles Dr. Tewksbury’s research centers on issues of men’s sexuality, the structure and processes of casual sexual encounters and sexual lifestyle alternatives. He has published extensively on these issues, and has published a number of books on a wide range of criminal justice and deviance issues. His books include Sexual Deviance, Controversies in Criminal Justice Research Methods, Criminological Theory, Introduction to Corrections, Introduction to Criminal Justice Research Methods, Qualitative Research Methods and Dynamics of Inequality.
