On February 2nd, Northeastern University celebrated the installation of Eric L. Piza as the Lipman Family Professor of Criminal Justice. The endowed professorship recognizes Professor Piza’s leading scholarship in evidence-based policing, place-based crime prevention, and the use of technology and data in criminal justice—and strengthens the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice’s commitment to research that informs policy and practice.
The Lipman Family Professor of Criminal Justice is an endowed position made possible by the Lipman family’s support for Northeastern’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice. When the fund was established, it specified that the occupant of the chair be an outstanding and distinguished scholar in criminology and criminal justice. Ben Lipman, a graduate of the College of Criminal Justice and a former member of the Northeastern University Corporation, represented the Lipman family at the installation event.
