David A. Green earned his PhD at the University of Cambridge Institute of Criminology. He was a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church, University of Oxford, before coming to John Jay College in 2008. His main research interests involve the interrelationship between crime, media, public opinion, punishment, and politics, often in a comparative perspective. His first book, When Children Kill Children: Penal Populism and Political Culture, was published by Oxford University Press in 2008 in its Clarendon Studies in Criminology series. It received the 2009 British Society of Criminology Book Prize and was reissued in paperback in 2012. Dr. Green won the 2007 European Society of Criminology's Young Criminologist Award for his first published article and was selected as a Straus Fellow at New York University Law School’s Straus Institute for the Advanced Study of Law & Justice for the 2010-11 academic year. He is currently working on projects related to public and state punitiveness; America's changing penal climate; the bipartisan evolution and significance of the Second Chance Act of 2007; and the moral framing of criminal justice reform. His work appears in The British Journal of Criminology, Crime and Justice, Crime, Media, Culture, Dialectical Anthropology, European Journal of Criminology, The Good Society, Punishment & Society, Sociology Compass, Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, and Youth Justice. He is an editor of The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice and an associate editor of Crime, Media, Culture.
