Biography

Lee E. Ross is an African-American criminologist and author of articles and books that address issues of domestic violence and topics related to race, crime, and justice.

Life

Ross was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, but his parents eventually relocated to Hempstead, New York. Upon graduating Hempstead High School, he attended Niagara University in Niagara Falls, New York. There, he earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice before receiving the Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship to pursue graduate studies at Rutgers University where he earned his masters and doctorate in criminology. Ross also spent seven years as a federal law enforcement officer with the United States Customs Service. He has held various academic positions, including teaching at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (where he served as Department Chair) prior to his current position at the University of Central Florida.

Ross is editor of Continuing the War Against Domestic Violence, 2nd Edition. He is a member of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and the European Society of Criminology. He has received academic awards for teaching excellence and research, including the COHPA Research Fellow award and the Outstanding Mentor of the Year Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. In 1998, his book African-American Criminologists, 1970-1996: An Annotated Bibliography was the first of it kind to document the scholarly contributions of African-American criminologists to the field of criminal justice, and was described as "the most complete index to the work of Black criminologists" by Katheryn Russell-Brown.
