  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Scott Bonn, PhD, is professor of criminology at Drew University, and a media commentator, public speaker, and author. He is an expert on the behavior and the motivations of criminals. Dr. Bonn offers insights into various types of crime and deviance, including mass murder, serial homicide, white-collar crime, domestic violence, sexual assault, and suicide. His expert commentary frequently appears in the popular news media.

  Professor Bonn is not your average academic. He combines the knowledge and skills of an academic scholar with more than twenty years of senior-level corporate experience in advertising, and the news and entertainment media. As such, he has unique insights into the public’s attitudes and beliefs, how they are shaped, and the agenda-setting powers of political leaders and the news media.

  Dr. Bonn has developed a unique, integrated, and interdisciplinary theory called “critical communication” to explain how state officials (including politicians and law enforcement) and the news media together shape public opinion on complex issues such as homicide, capital punishment, drugs, abortion, and terrorism. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book Mass Deception: Moral Panic and the US War on Iraq (Rutgers University Press, 2010).

  Dr. Bonn received a PhD in sociology (criminology) at the University of Miami, Florida, and a master’s degree in criminal justice administration at San Jose State University. He teaches courses in criminology, sociology of deviance, media and crime, and criminal justice. His primary research interests include white-collar crime, suicide, domestic violence, serial homicide, and how the media influence society.

  Prior to his academic career, Bonn held high-ranking corporate positions such as vice president at NBC Television Network, and executive vice president at SonicNet, a leading music website, now a part of MTV Networks. He resides in Manhattan, New York. Follow him on Twitter @DocBonn and visit his “Wicked Deeds” crime blog at PsychologyToday.com and his website docbonn.com.
