“I am deeply humbled and honored on the selection made by the U.S. Department of State and look forward in representing Tarleton and the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Strategic Studies before an international audience,” Del Carmen said.
Del Carmen has a Ph.D. in criminology and criminal justice from Florida State University and is the author of several articles and books, including Racial Profiling in America (Prentice Hall Publishing, 2008). He serves as a federal monitor on behalf of the United States Courts in Puerto Rico.
