About Me

I am a criminal justice specialist working a management position for a government agency. I created this website to learn web development and search engine marketing. As long as I was developing my web skills, I wanted to offer a public service, thus the crime prevention, crime news and related themes.

Criminal justice experts are guiding me as to posts and administration.

In retirement, I will take Crime in America.Net in other directions.

Much of the crime related material you see on the Internet is based on selling you a product or a service. I’m not trying to sell you anything and I’m not asking for anything. I simply believe that ten years as a crime prevention information specialist and spokesperson for national federally funded agencies plus four decades in the criminal justice system plus two advanced university degrees plus hundreds of research based books and reports I’ve read plus conversations with victims, police officers and criminal offenders leads me to conclusions as to the best criminal justice material to offer.
