About the Author

Sue Titus Reid, a professor in the Reubin O’Donovan Askew School of


Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University,
Tallahassee, has taught law students, graduate students, and
undergraduate students in many states. She has served on the board of
the Midwest Sociological Society and the executive staff of the
American Sociological Association. She has served as chairperson,
associate dean, and dean. In 1985, she held the prestigious George Beto
Chair in criminal justice at the Criminal Justice Center, Sam Houston
State University, Huntsville, Texas. From 1976 to 1977, she served as a
visiting distinguished professor at the University of Tulsa College of
Law and then joined the faculty as a professor and later served as an
associate dean. In 1979, Dr. Reid received the Distinguished Alumna
Award from Texas Woman’s University, and in 2000, she received a
university award “for excellence in teaching” at Florida State University.
Dr. Reid’s formal training in criminology began in graduate school,
but her interest in the field dates back to her early childhood. She was
strongly influenced in her career by her father, who was born in the jail
where his father, the undersheriff of a small east Texas county, lived with
his family. As a child, she helped her father in his grocery store and was
quite disturbed when, on three separate occasions, he was victimized by
criminals, one an armed robber. In each instance, the offender took all
the cash and checks; no one was ever apprehended, and the family was
temporarily left homeless as a result of the business failure.
Dr. Reid graduated with honors from Texas Woman’s University in
1960 and received graduate degrees in sociology (MA in 1962 and PhD
in 1965) from the University of Missouri-Columbia. In 1972, she
graduated with distinction from the University of Iowa College of Law.
She was admitted to the Iowa Bar that year and later to the District of
Columbia Court of Appeals. She has also been admitted to practice
before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dr. Reid is unique among authors in the criminal justice field
because of her distinguished qualifications in both law and the social
sciences. She launched her text publishing career with Crime and
Criminology in 1976, and this edition is the fifteenth, making it the first
text in criminology to go into that many editions. Dr. Reid’s other titles
include The Correctional System: An Introduction; Criminal Law: The
Essentials 3d edition; Criminal Justice Essentials, 10th edition; and
Criminal Law, 9th edition. She has contributed articles to the
Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice and the Encyclopedia of American
Prisons, as well as to other books, in addition to publishing scholarly
articles in both law and sociology.
Dr. Reid’s contributions to her profession have been widely
recognized nationally and abroad. In 1982, the American Society of
Criminology elected her a fellow “for outstanding contributions to the
field of Criminology.” Other national honors include the following:
Who’s Who Among Women; Who’s Who in America; Who’s Who in
American Education; Who’s Who in Criminal Law; 2,000 Notable
Women (Hall of Fame for Outstanding Contributions to Criminal Law,
1990); Personalities of America; and Most Admired Woman of the
Decade, 1992.
Her international honors include numerous recognitions from the
International Biographical Centre (IBC), Cambridge, England, including
the prestigious International Order of Merit. The IBC named Dr. Reid an
inaugural member as one of the Top 100 Educators—2008, an honor
limited by the IBC “to those individuals who, in our belief, have made a
significant enough contribution in their field to engender influence on a
local, national or international basis.” Among the other international
honors received by Dr. Reid are the following: International Woman of
the Year, 1991-1992; International Who’s Who of Intellectuals;
International Who’s Who of Professionals; International Who’s Who of
Professional and Business Women; International Order of Merit, 1993;
Who’s Who in the World; International Biographical Centre, England,
Marquis Who’s Who in the World; and the Manchester Who’s Who
Among Executive and Professional Women.
Dr. Reid has traveled extensively to widen her knowledge of
criminal justice systems in the United States and in other countries. In
1982, she was a member of the Eisenhower Foundation sponsored
People-to-People Crime Prevention delegation to the People’s Republic
of China. Her international travels included a three-month study and
lecture tour of ten European countries in 1985. She has served as a legal
consultant, and she is an honorary member of the Jackson, New
Hampshire Police Department.
In August 2010, the Commission on Physical and Mental
Disabilities of the 400,000-member American Bar Association featured
Dr. Reid as its monthly spotlight on lawyers and judges who, despite
disabilities, have made significant contributions to the legal profession.
Dr. Reid lives in Texas and New Hampshire while continuing her
teaching as a Professor at Florida State University.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
