Dr. Irlbeck is continuing her work on racial profiling, conducting additional analysis of data from the NE State Patrol. One aspect of that additional analysis is being conducted with Ryan Vacanti, Sociology major. Ryan and Dr. Irlbeck recently presented their initial findings at the Academy of Criminology conference in St. Louis, and are working on a research article based on those findings. In addition, Dr. Irlbeck is completing a book on racial profiling for a scholarly publishing company, which will be published late in 2008. Dr. Irlbeck also is continuing her research on Latino police officers, and has been asked to write a book on the subject. Her article on Latino Police Officers and ethnic identity was published in the most recent journal of Police Quarterly. With regard to new projects, this semester Dr. Irlbeck began collaborating with Professor John Crank from UNO’s department of criminology and criminal justice on two projects. The first is a research article based on community members’ perceptions of crime and disorder. Dr. Irlbeck and Dr. Crank are also collaborating on a book chapter on police organizational culture.
