Dr. David Baker is an Associate Professor in the Administration of Justice Department. He earned his Ph.D. in sociology from York University (crime and delinquency) and his academic pursuits focus on a synthesis of crime, gender and crime, race and crime in criminological discourse, particularly images of victims and offenders in popular culture/mass media. This is informed by a critical criminological inquiry. He is completing work on a series of articles examining the integration of crime, race, and gender. He is currently working on research projects that examine qualitatively the effects of substance abuse treatment services on reducing criminal recidivism.
