William R. Kelly, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Sociology and director of the Center for Criminology and Criminal Justice Research at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas. He is the author of several books and articles on criminal justice, law, and policy, including From Retribution to Public Safety (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017), The Future of Crime and Punishment (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016), Criminal Justice At The Crossroads (2015), and Justice Under Pressure (1993). Robert Pitman, JD, M.St., was appointed in 2014 by President Obama and confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as a United States District Judge for the Western District of Texas. Prior to that he was the United States Attorney for the Western District. Judge Pitman brings extensive knowledge, on the ground experience, insight and a profound interest in criminal justice reform, something that is rather rare among federal prosecutors and judges. Pitman co-authored From Retribution to Public Safety: Disruptive Innovation of American Criminal Justice Policy (Rowman and Littlefield 2017) with William R. Kelly and William Streusand.
