Jacobs Scholar at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, has been selected to receive the White-Collar Crime Research Consortium’s first annual Outstanding Publication Award. WCCRC seeks to promote increased public awareness of the impact and burden of white-collar crime on society through dedicated research.
