Cal State East Bay Lecturer-Author to Discuss His Book on Forensic Sociology and Psychology at Society of Criminology Meeting Nov. 20
- November 14, 2014
Stephen J. Morewitz, Ph.D., a lecturer in Cal State East Bay's Department of Nursing and Health Sciences, will discuss his "Handbook of Forensic Sociology and Psychology" at the annual meeting of the American Society of Criminology in San Francisco on Nov. 20.
Morewitz, the author of more than 100 publications, will speak at 2 p.m. as part of the meeting's Author Meets Critics session. The "Handbook of Forensic Sociology and Psychology" (New York: Springer, 2014), co-edited with Mark L.

The book earned Morewitz a San Jose State University Annual Author Award for co-editing. Additional works by Morewitz include the award-winning books "Stalking and Violence" (New York: Kluwer/Plenum, 2003) and "Domestic Violence and Maternal and Child Health" (New York: Springer, 2004).
He is also the author of "Chronic Disorders in Children and Adolescents" (New York: Springer, 2011), "Chronic Diseases and Health Care" (New York, Springer, 2006), and, with Mark L. Goldstein, "Aging and Chronic Disorders" (New York, Springer 2008).
Prior to his teaching appointment at Cal State East Bay, Morewitz was professor and research dean at the California School of Podiatric Medicine.
