Dr. Alvin Mitchell
Dr. Alvin Mitchell, associate professor and coordinator of justice studies, is the founder and editor of the newly formed Journal of Justice Studies, a joint venture with the university’s Center for Community Safety.
“The journal publishes scholarship articles, essays and book reviews that are relevant to justice issues on crime, poverty, discrimination and ethics,” said Mitchell. “The writing encompasses various disciplines ranging from criminology and social justice to economics and politics. It is aimed at any discipline that deals with the realms of justice.”
The annual journal recently released its first issue including a comparative analysis of school suspensions of white and minority students by Dr. Okori Uneke, associate professor of sociology at Winston-Salem State, and an article entitled “Health Realization, Empowerment and Restorative Justice” by Dr. Tiffany Baffour, assistant professor in the Department of Social Work at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The journal can be found in the reserve section of O’Kelly Library on the WSSU campus and will be in the library’s permanent catalogue.
Mitchell has published articles in a number of academic journals and also published a monograph entitled “Capital Punishment, Testing Thurgood Marshall’s Hypothesis: A Supreme Court Justice’s Theory.” The Center for Community Safety was established in 2001 and is a community-based center of Winston-Salem State. It works to engage communities in using research strategically to shape action and respond to community safety issues.
