David Polizzi, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of
Criminology & Criminal Justice at Indiana State University and a
licensed clinical addiction counselor. He is the co-editor of
Transforming Corrections: Humanistic Approaches to Corrections and
Offender Treatment and Surviving your Clinical Placement:
Reflections, Suggestions and Unsolicited Advice, and the editor of
the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Criminology, an
e-publication focused on alternative theoretical and methodological
perspectives related to criminology, criminal justice, and offender
treatment. He has also published numerous book chapters and journal
articles related to the phenomenology of strain, deviance,
restorative justice, desistance, suicide by cop, addiction, and the
phenomenology of the "criminal body," as well as a variety of
articles related to the theory and practice of offender treatment.
Prior to joining the faculty at Indiana State University, he worked
as a forensic psychotherapist with the Pennsylvania Department of
Corrections, and in a variety of community mental health settings.
He has worked clinically with offender populations for nearly
twenty years and has used that experience in his integration of
theory and practice both in his published writing as well as his
work in the classroom.
Matthew R. Draper, PhD, is Associate Professor of Behavioral
Sciences at Utah Valley University. Before working at Utah Valley,
he served as the Director of Clinical Training and the Mental
Health Counseling Program Director at Indiana State University. His
teaching specialization is in the areas of psychotherapy theory and
practice, the history of psychotherapy, and philosophy of the
behavioral sciences. Draper’s research and scholarship focuses on
the philosophy and practice of psychotherapy, particularly the
moral philosophy of forensic psychotherapy, from a broadly
hermeneutic and dialogic frame. He also examines how these ideas
relate to working with marginalized and underserved groups like the
currently and formerly incarcerated.
