Adjunct Faculty

Don Faggiani received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1994. He has worked extensively with law enforcement data systems and is one of a very small group of researchers in the country to demonstrate the versatility of the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data. His work with and knowledge of national data systems led to his appointment to the FBI’s N-DEx Project Development Council. N-DEx is an effort to develop a national data exchange and integration program for information and intelligence sharing among Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement. Dr. Faggiani’s theoretical interests evolve from a sociological perspective with an emphasis on social disorganization, collective efficacy, routine activities and formal social control. He has published extensively on issues such as juvenile violence and delinquency, assaults of older persons, the use of NIBRS for policy, tactical, and strategic crime analysis and incorporating the use of GIS techniques in identifying and understanding patterns of crime and deviance.
