Lydia Rosner joined the Sociology Department at John Jay
College of Criminal Justice in 1985. Prior to that, she taught at Mercy
College from 1977 - 1984 and was an instructor at the Criminal Justice
Coordinating Council Training Institute in 1977 and 1978. She has also
served as Project Director for the National Center for Public Productivity and
as Assistant Director of Research and Consultant for the Criminal Justice
Center. Prof. Rosner's research on immigrants
from the Former Soviet Union has been cited in Criminology and Organized Crime
textbooks. Her study of the Brighton Beach migration provides a seminal
way of examining immigrant crime. She regularly consults in the area of
Russian crime and is frequently called upon to verify and inform about various
issues within this parameter. She has also testified as an expert
witness on this subject.. Currently, she is working on a study
of mid-career migration, which includes issues of migration, both legal and
illegal; life-style choices for working women; and social development of an
agrarian island into a busy tourist economy.
