TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is partnering with Bowling Green State University for research regarding criminal justice here in Ohio.
John Boman, a quantitative criminologist and associate professor in BGSU’s Department of Sociology, will lead the newly-created Ohio Attorney General’s Center for Justice Research, which will play a vital role in informing policy debates and building evidence-based practices in Ohio.
As center director, Boman will work with graduate assistants and others in planning and completing research projects. The center expects to publish scholarly, peer-reviewed analyses.
