Biography

Khadija Monk is Assistant Professor at the School of Criminal Justice & Criminalistics at California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA). She is also a liaison between Cal State LA and the Los Angeles Police Department’s Police Orientation & Preparation Program (POPP). Dr. Monk’s research interests include police-community relations, crime prevention, crime policy, and disparities in the criminal justice system. Her work has been published in Crime & Delinquency, the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and the International Journal of Police Strategies & Management.

Jacek Koziarski earned his Ph.D. from the Sociology Department at the University of Western Ontario, and his B.A. and M.A. degrees in Criminology from the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Jacek’s research centers on various aspects of policing, with a particular focus on police interactions with persons with perceived mental illness. Another line of inquiry for Jacek’s work centers around examining the spatial and temporal patterns of both crime and non-crime-related policing issues. Some of his research appears in peer-reviewed outlets such as Crime Science, Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice, and Criminology & Public Policy.
