Dr. Glenn Sterner





Professor Oren M. Gur studies Criminal Justice.

For example, his most recent in 2017 was Terrorism as self-help: Accounts of Palestinian youth incarcerated in Israeli prisons. Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice.





Policing is the most intriguing to me because it’s such a broad topic. Also I find substance abuse most intriguing because there is so many things happening today in this world with drugs. Drugs are causing major deaths from overdosing to just passing out and losing your mind. If I had to devote a long time studying something in this field it would probably be policing neighborhoods and crime. I would want to do that because I want to see what causes some neighborhoods to be worse than others and see if there is a way to reduce the crime rates in that area.

  1. I like your choice of Criminal Justice, I would suggest that you insert a hyperlink to the professor's Penn State page. I like that you want a broad topic, because there is so much you can cover in that general choice. With my major I am kind of the opposite my major choice is super spectific. But overall I think this is a good post.
