characteristics of internet traffic and apply it to the human mind.

& State New York
Above & Beyond Award
Deborah Koetzle, Ph.D., Associate Professor and the
Executive Officer of the Doctoral Program in Criminal Justice, was in
El Salvador working to help improve severe prison overcrowding, when
she received an unexpected email from City & State New York, a media
organization dedicated to covering local politics and policy. The
email said that she would be one of their 30 Above & Beyond Award
Honorees, recognizing extraordinary women in education, health,
labor, law/lobbying, government and real estate. "I was
shocked," says Koetzle. "There are so many people here at
John Jay, and elsewhere, doing such amazing work. And when you're in
the weeds, I think we sometimes forget that what we're doing actually
makes a difference. It was a huge validation that the work I'm doing
really matters." Read more
