Dr. William Crawley was born in Des Moines, Iowa, the same state in which he completed his two undergraduate degrees – a B.S. in Resource Management from Iowa State University Ames, IA) in 1993, and a B.A. from the University of Iowa in Asian Studies and Japanese Language (Iowa City, IA) in 1996. As part of his second undergraduate degree, Dr. Crawley studied and developed an expertise in Asian organized crime. After graduation, he lived in Yamatoshi, Japan, where he studied the Japanese criminal justice system and other social control responses to deviant sub-cultures.
Dr. Crawley continued his education at the University of South Carolina, receiving a Masters degree in Criminal Justice (1998) and a Graduate Certification in Drug & Alcohol Studies with an emphasis in Neuro-Psyho-Pharmacology (1998). Thereafter, he relocated to Omaha, Nebraska to begin his doctoral studies in Criminal Justice at the University of Nebraska (completed in 2006). During this same time period, he began work as a Coordinator for a Department of Justice research and intelligence initiative entitled Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program (ADAM). As part of this work, across a four year period Dr. Crawley conducted, or directly supervised, more than 3,000 criminal interviews.
Currently, Dr. Crawley is an Associate Professor and the Director of the School of Criminal Justice at GVSU. His research interests center on Criminal Theory, Comparative and Transnational Crime, Drug Market Dynamics and Intelligence, Addiction Behaviors and Need for Treatment, and Philosophy of Science. Dr. Crawley has been extensively involved in translational research initiatives linking criminal justice and community-based organizations for more than a decade (e.g., ADAM, Project Safe Neighborhoods, Weed & Seed, Michigan Intelligence Operations Center) and often involves graduate and undergraduate students in such efforts. Dr. Crawley has been teaching at university for more than a decade.
