Long Bio
Charles Katz is the Watts Endowed Family Chair of the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and Director of the Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety at Arizona State University. Much of his work focuses on police transformation and strategic responses to crime. From 2004 to 2010, he worked under contract with the Ministry of National Security of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to reform the Trinidad and Tobago Police Services. Since then he has completed a project funded by the United Nations Development (UNDP) program to assess citizen insecurity throughout the Caribbean; and completed work for the Eastern Caribbean’s Regional Security System (RSS) to diagnose the gang problem in nine Caribbean nations and developing a regional approach to responding to gangs. He has completed several research projects for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and USAID in El Salvador and is currently working in Honduras to evaluate a violence prevention and intervention program.
