Long before Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, becamesynonymous with the internment of suspectedterrorists, it was best known as an outpost in theCold War, where a detachment of U.S. Marineskept a wary eye on Communist Cuba on theother side of a security fence.Guantanamo in the mid-1980s is the settingfor the play
 A Few Good Men
, a court-martialthriller by Aaron Sorkin that — retitled
 A Few Good woMen
— recently concluded an eight-performance run at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater.Directed by Professor Lorraine Moller of theDepartment of Communication and Theatre Arts,
 A Few Good woMen
featured an ensemble ofstudents, faculty and alumni in a production thatsuccessfully took a few creative liberties with thecasting.“Most of the roles in this play were writtenfor men,” Moller pointed out in a productionnote. “However, when auditions took place,several of the strongest actors were women,two of whom were currently in either the armedforces or the ROTC. These women were the mostsuitable actors for the roles in the play, resultingin gender-blind casting. As the rehearsalsprogressed, the dynamics between characterschanged, creating love triangles and femalecharacters who were as driven and honor-boundas any male, resulting in a gripping depiction ofwomen in the military.”One of those gender-blind roles was that ofLance Corporal Dawson, one of two defendantscharged with the murder of a fellow Marine. Therole, originally written for a man, was shared byalumna and John Jay theater veteran AmarylisRivera and sophomore forensic psychology majorBianca Morisset.As part of their preparation for the show, castmembers endured rounds of basic training, rifle-team exercises and drill sessions led by actualU.S. Marines and David Ruth, assistant coach ofthe John Jay Rifle Team.Moller’s other directing credits for the JohnJay stage include

.It’s December, and the calendar is down to asingle page. That means the John Jay communityis abuzz with preparations for the Children’sHoliday Party.This annual affair, which brings Christmas tohundreds of less fortunate children and theirfamilies, was created by friends and colleaguesof the late Jack Brennan, the beloved formerJohn Jay security director. Brennan was a devotedfamily man with a soft spot for children, and theholiday party seemed a fitting way to rememberhim.On the afternoon of December 18, the JohnJay gymnasium will be transformed into a giantparty space, as a host of faculty, staff and studentvolunteers swing into action to serve as guidesfor wide-eyed youngsters, provide face painting,snacks and beverages, and act as Santa’s helperswhen the big moment arrives at party’s end.The 27th annual holiday party will also includea magic act and “live” cartoon characters, alongwith DJ services donated by George Marchelos ofFine Time Entertainment.Overseeing the well-organized frenzy areJohnny Taveras and Rosalie Macaluso of theDepartment of Institutional Advancement.“I couldn’t do it without Rosalie’s help, andthe help of all our volunteers, including thebaseball team,” said Taveras, the College’s soft-spoken web manager. “Yet all the effort — and ittakes plenty — is so well worth it when you thinkof the thousands of kids we’ve helped bringsome cheer to over the years.”This year, Taveras said, the College will host anestimated 600 children at the holiday party, manyof them from shelters run by the New York CityDepartment of Homeless Services.Organizing the children’s party is a months-long labor of love for Taveras and Macaluso.There are guest lists to formulate, contributionsof funds and goods to be obtained, securityneeds to be covered, transportation to beprovided and entertainment to be hired. InA delegation of some 90 John Jay facultymembers, graduate students and doctoralcandidates made their presence felt at the recentannual meeting of the American Society ofCriminology (ASC) in St. Louis, MO.The John Jay contingent was led by PresidentJeremy Travis, who called on the ASC tosupport his proposal for the creation of anew Office of Justice Research within the U.S.Department of Justice. Travis, who served asDirector of the National Institute of Justicefrom 1994-2000, said in an open letter tothe ASC, “The nation urgently needs a top-notch research and development program toimprove our understanding of, and responsesto, the challenges of violent crime and theadministration of justice.”The existing structure of the Departmentof Justice, Travis pointed out, places theresponsibility for criminal justice research andstatistics within the Office of Justice Programs,an entity that is primarily responsible for the

 ASC Asked to Back Justice Department Research Upgrade
administration of federal assistance programs.That organizational reality, he said, leaves theresearch function at the Justice Departmentvulnerable to compromise and deprives justiceresearch of the priority treatment it deserves.“The current systems in place to supportresearch, statistics and technology are outmoded,under-resourced and insufficiently responsive tothe needs of practitioners and policy-makers,”Travis wrote.Travis said the election of a new Presidentand the advent of the 111th Congress presents“an unprecedented opportunity for the nationto rethink the federal role in promoting researchon crime, society’s responses to crime, and theadministration of justice.”The proposed Office of Justice Researchwould be headed by an Assistant AttorneyGeneral for Justice Research, nominated by thePresident and confirmed by the Senate. Theperson holding that office should be a scientist ofnational reputation, with significant experienceconducting and overseeing research in this field.The Office of Justice Research would comprisethe existing Bureau of Justice Statistics andNational Institute of Justice, along with a newNational Institute of Justice Technology.Through the open letter to the ASC andsimilar letters that were sent to members of otherassociations of criminal justice professionals,Travis said he hoped to generate a “a livelydebate” within the justice policy and theacademic communities. “We need to movebeyond the status quo,” he concluded.The John Jay delegation at the ASC meetingincluded faculty from the following departments:Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, PublicManagement, Government, Mathematics andComputer Science, SEEK, and Law, Police Scienceand Criminal Justice Administration. In addition,representatives from the Library, the PrisonerReentry Institute, the Catholic Bishops’ Study,Freshman Services and the journal

PEER REVIEW
ISABELLE CURRO
(Security) was named winnerof the 2009 Commitment to Justice Award forOutstanding Solo Practitioner by inMotion, anorganization that provides low-income womenwith free legal services in matrimonial, family andimmigration law. Curro, an attorney, was citedfor her “commitment to pro bono legal services.”The award will be formally presented at a gala inearly February.Forensic science major Nadia Bruce recentlywas named Federal Student Ambassador forthe 2008-2009 academic year. Annually, only15 students nationwide are selected for thisprestigious program.The student ambassador program was createdto promote interest in federal service on collegecampuses through a corps of student advocateswho will actively promote public service. It hasbeen estimated that over the next five years,nearly one-third of the federal workforce willreach retirement age. In the next two yearsalone, according to projections, the federalgovernment will need to hire more than 173,000people in critical areas.Bruce grew up in Trinidad and came backto New York when she was 16. Her interest inforensic toxicology prompted her to enroll atJohn Jay. “I came here on a hope and a dream,”she said. “John Jay was my No. 1 choice.”She applied for the student ambassadorprogram while she was in Washington, DC,completing a toxicology internship with theFood and Drug Administration’s Office of FoodAdditive Safety. “It was wonderful,” said Bruce.“I had such a good experience with the FDA thatI felt I could easily talk to other students aboutfederal service.”Bruce has her sights set on a career withthe FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs after shegraduates from John Jay in May 2009.On campus, Bruce has recruited other studentsto advocate for careers in public service, recentlyaddressing more than 175 students at anInternship Day program. She has also created aFacebook group to communicate with interestedfellow students.“The area of federal public service is sopersonally rewarding, so varied, so flexible, withso much opportunity and mobility, that studentsshould certainly consider the federal governmentfor jobs when they graduate,” she said.President Jeremy Travis, himself a formerhigh-ranking official with the Department ofJustice, said of Bruce’s selection: “This is a realcoup for our College and a tribute to the energyand dedication of Nadia Bruce. We will findmany ways to celebrate this honor and to let ourstudents know more about the value of federalservice.”
Psyched Up
Jared Kean McIntyre, a doctoral student inthe John Jay/CUNY Graduate Center programin clinical forensic psychology, was honored atthe 7th annual Latino Trendsetter Awards andScholarship Gala, held in November at the UnitedNations.McIntyre was presented with a Recognition ofScholarship Award, which was accompanied bya check for $3,000. He currently works at BronxTASC (Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime),performing evaluations for the Alternatives toIncarceration program. His research interestfocuses on understanding the developmentalpathways to criminal behavior.With disturbing frequency, the news media areawash in stories of women killed by their spousesor partners. On November 7, hot on the heelsof yet another such incident, John Jay College,in concert with the Urban Resource Institute,explored this subject in an all-day conference,“Femicide: Understanding and Preventing theMurder of Women in Intimate Relationships.”The Femicide Conference brought togetherfaculty members from the psychology and sociol-ogy departments, the Center onMedia, Crime and Justice, and theJohn Jay Women’s Center, alongwith outside experts from suchfields as medicine, victim advoca-cy, law enforcement, prosecutionand legal services.“I know people think thathomicide cannot be prevented,but I believe that throughresearch it can be,” said theconference’s keynote speaker,Rebecca Block, a senior researchanalyst with the Illinois CriminalJustice Information Authority.“In order to prevent femicide,”Block said, “it helps to examinethe causes.” Among female vic-tims ages 10-14, 21 percent ofthe homicides involved a rape orattempted rape. Among 15- to19-year-old girls, 20 percent ofthe victims were killed by an intimate partner,and another 15 percent died in gang-relatedviolence. Among elderly women, home invasionwas a common underlying cause.Risk factors for fatal domestic violence againstwomen include the partner’s use of drugs andany propensity to violence outside the home.During a panel discussion on “Threats to Life,”Wanda Lucibello, head of the Special Victims Di-vision for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office,pointed out that her jurisdiction has the highestnumber of domestic violence cases in New YorkCity, with some 8,000 prosecutions annually.Although there is a mandatory arrest statute inNew York City for domestic violence cases, pros-ecutors do not have to prosecute.Domestic violence cases are sharply differentfrom other crimes, Lucibello observed. They areslow and resource-intensive, with “two paralleltracks in motion,” namely the work of victim’sadvocates and that of the prosecu-tor’s office.Professor Chitra Raghavan ofthe psychology department notedthat 30 percent of victims werenot abused prior to the lethal act.Signs that may point to a fatal do-mestic assault include coercive orfear-inducing control on the partof the spouse or partner, the avail-ability of weapons, and rape orprevious threats to a woman’s life.“When women say they arein danger, they are in danger,”Raghavan said.The conference also featureddiscussions on race, class andgender; domestic violence inimmigrant communities; manda-tory arrest; how the press coversviolence against women, andwomen who kill their abusers.

Where some leaders see crises, WilliamBratton sees only opportunities.Bratton, Chief of the Los Angeles PoliceDepartment, brought his views on cutting-edgepolice leadership to the annual Patrick V. MurphyLecture on October 22. Hosted by the John JayLeadership Academy, his talk on “transformativeleadership” drew a standing-room-only audience.“No conversation about police leadershipin this country would be complete withoutBill Bratton,” President Jeremy Travis saidin introducing Bratton, who served as NewYork City Police Commissioner from 1994 to1996 under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. “Bill hasbrought accountability and transparency to thepolice function. He believes in — and practices— external accountability along with internalcommunication.”Bratton, who described his presentation as“a discussion rather than a lecture,” mused thatthe talk could well have taken its title from anold Broadway hit, “gray skies are gonna clearup, put on a happy face.” Those who put theirtrust in him as a leader, Bratton said, “have anexpectation that things are going to change forthe better.”Leaders, he noted, are in a position totransform organizations. “I think of myself as atransformative leader,” Bratton said. “I see crisesas opportunities.” People expect that leaders willcreate change and be risk takers, he said.As a police executive, Bratton has focusedon decentralizing leadership down through theorganization. “My leadership style is that youcan’t do it alone,” he said. “You have to get theright people in place as quickly as possible. Youinspire them and they inspire you. You allowthem to take risks, to make mistakes, and thenyou reward their successes.”Recalling some of his predecessors in theNew York City Police Department, includingMurphy, Robert McGuire, Benjamin Ward andLee P. Brown, Bratton noted that they had verydifferent personalities and each faced differentchallenges, from corruption and reform tothe crack epidemic to the implementation ofcommunity policing. “What I shared with mypredecessors was a belief that we could makechange,” he said.Following the terrorist attacks of September11, 2001, Bratton observed that policing abruptlymoved into uncharted waters, noting, “It tookleadership to refocus an organization that hadbeen focused on controlling crime and disorder.”In the post-9/11 era, he added, “leadership isgoing to have to ensure that we get it right. WeOn November 5, one day after the UnitedStates began to write “an exciting and historicnew chapter,” President Jeremy Travis deliveredhis first State of the College Address in which hedeclared John Jay’s present to be strong and itsfuture bright.Before an audience that included faculty, staff,students, administrators and board membersof both the John Jay College Foundation andthe John Jay Alumni Association, Travis spokewith pride of the hundreds of thousands ofstudents — “full of ambition, eager to leave theirmark” — who have been touched by the JohnJay experience over the years. Travis reaffirmedthe College’s core mission of educating for justice, and said John Jay’s “priceless assets”of its storied history, elevating public mission,dedicated faculty, highly motivated students andloyal alumni now serve as the building blocks onwhich a sweeping transformation is taking place.“The past four years have been a time ofenormous change at John Jay,” Travis said. “Wehave all been working hard, in so many ways,to improve this institution that we love. We cantake pride in the significant progress we havemade toward becoming a preeminent academicinstitution. We should also be honest about thesubstantial distance we have yet to travel.”Travis said the ongoing transformation ofJohn Jay consists of three interlocking initiatives— a fundamental change in the studentprofile, a historic faculty hiring initiative and therevitalization of academic programs.
• Changing the Student Profile.
Admissionsstandards have been raised, partnerships havebeen created with community colleges toeducate associate degree students, and newinitiatives are being launched to improve studentsuccess, including retention and graduationrates. Recent incoming baccalaureate classeshave increased, Travis noted. “Our experienceis validating a powerful lesson learned at otheruniversities,” he said. “Raising admissionsstandards attracts more students.”
• Faculty Hiring.
The growth of the faculty ismore than just numerical. New faculty members joining the College’s ranks are “committed toscholarship that crosses disciplinary boundariesand energized by the opportunity to teach ourstudents,” said Travis. Senior faculty membersare editing prestigious scholarly journals,holding leadership positions in leading academicassociations, producing critically acclaimed booksand generating millions of dollars in researchfunding.
• Revitalizing Academic Programs.
Therevitalization of John Jay’s academic programshas unleashed “a remarkable burst of creativeenergy” on the part of faculty members andothers who are rising to the challenge of creating“exciting new majors and minors” in a broadarray of liberal arts disciplines. In addition,Travis said, existing majors are being revamped,the design of a new Honors Program is beingfinalized, an overhaul of the College’s generaleducation curriculum is in progress, and a First-Year Experience is being created.In looking to the future, Travis noted thatthe next important challenge is to increase theretention and graduation rates of graduate andundergraduate students. To do this, the Collegewill need to continue to invest in its faculty andacademic programs.In closing, President Travis called for theCollege community to meet this challengeand set a goal of celebrating John Jay’s 50thAnniversary in 2014 by raising “our six-yeargraduation rate for baccalaureate students above50 percent, and the four-year rate for graduatestudents above 66 percent.”

John Jay’s reputation forglobal leadership made itsscience labs a must-visit forseveral dozen forensic sciencestudents from the Universityof Lincoln in England on theirrecent trip to New York.The visitors, all second- andthird-year honors students,were treated to a thoroughimmersion in forensic scienceAmerican-style. The JohnJay team included ProfessorLawrence Kobilinsky, Chair ofthe Department of Sciences,Science Professor NicholasPetraco Jr, who arrangedthe visit, Professor GlennCorbett, Chair of the Department of ProtectionManagement, and Peter Diaczuk, Director ofTraining for the Center for Modern ForensicPractice.Dr. D. Ross Williams, a senior lecturer inforensic and biomedical sciences at the Englishinstitution, led the students on their whirlwindsix-day visit, which also included stops at theAmerican Museum of Natural History, the NewYork City police and fire museums and thelaboratories of Pfizer, the pharmaceutical giant.The visitors were treated to presentations anddemonstrations on DNA analysis, explosives andthe post-incident analysis of the collapse of theWorld Trade Center. During a lively question-and-answer session, the students delved intosuch topics as the differences between forensicscience in the United States and England andthe prospects and process for a forensic sciencegraduate from England who might be seekingwork in the U.S.

have to take some risks, and we need to haveleadership that understands the importance ofworking together to make change.”As policing has evolved through severaldifferent eras, from the professional modelthrough problem-oriented community policingmodels to intelligence-led policing, the nextera, Bratton suggested, will be characterizedas predictive policing. This model will be basedon a strong capacity to predict crimes throughthe development of timely, accurate and robustintelligence.Reflecting on a 38-year law enforcementcareer that shows no sign of ending soon,Bratton said he loves, lives and breathes policing.“There’s nothing that has such an immediateimpact on people’s lives as policing,” he said.“I believe in my profession. I believe that policematter.”
