Summary
Emmanuel P. Barthe is an associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice. His research interests lie in the arena of policing, situational crime prevention and spatial analysis. His publications include work on the impact of casinos and crime, the effect of different low-income housing on disorder patterns and the legal ramifications of traffic checkpoints. He works closely with local law enforcement agencies and has served as an external evaluator for several projects, including a methamphetamine interdiction effort, a campaign to reduce commercial traffic accidents and a BJA-funded Smart Policing grants covering prescription drug abuse. He also helped write and implement a COAP (Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program) grant with the Reno Police Department to educate residents, medical professionals, and first responders on the issues regarding opioid abuse in Washoe County. Again with the Reno Police Department, he helped write, implement, and evaluate a BJA grant designed to address gun crimes in a Reno neighborhood (with Weston Morrow, Ph.D.). Recently, (again with Morrow), he helped the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office to write a large grant to address crime and disorder issues in Sun Valley, NV.
He teaches a class on criminal justice ethics and a section of the senior colloquium. Occasionally, he also teaches a crime mapping/crime data analysis class. He has a doctorate and a master's in criminal justice from the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
