Social Bridges and Contexts in Criminology and Sociology is a tribute to the remarkable career and lasting contributions of Professor James F. Short, Jr., a renowned expert in the field of gangs. While Professor Short is widely recognized for his expertise in gangs, he was a true bridge-builder who advanced the study of human behavior across diverse domains.

The individual chapters in this book trace the intellectual journey of Professor Short and emphasize the profound impact of his theoretical and empirical work in various specialized areas, such as suicide and homicide, criminological theory, field and self-report survey research methodologies, white-collar crime, hazards and risks, levels of explanation, microsocial group processes, and the etiology of gang violence and delinquency.

A unique aspect of this book is the collection of brief personal reflection essays that appear after the main chapters. These essays were written by Professor Short's students, colleagues, collaborators, and friends, and they offer powerful testimonials to the influence of his intellectual legacy and his generous spirit and commitment to mentorship.

Written in a clear and concise manner, this book is accessible to students and scholars of criminology and sociology, as well as anyone interested in the significant contributions of Professor James F. Short, Jr., to these subject areas.
