Biography

Alan Bruce has been at Quinnipiac since 2001 and has served as Director of the Criminal Justice Program and Chair of the Department of Sociology, Criminal Justice and Anthropology. Throughout his time at Quinnipiac he has taught courses in the Sociology and Criminal Justice programs. In the classroom he enjoys constantly learning from students as well as educating them. His greatest teaching reward is when his students tell him they have taken learning from the classroom into internship and/or work settings and performed better as a result. He has co-authored the texts "Classics of Criminology" (with Theresa Severance at Eastern Connecticut State University) and "An Reintroduction to Criminal Justice" (with Stephen McGuinn at Quinnipiac University) and numerous scholarly articles. He is a longtime volunteer in the working men's center at the Open Hearth in Hartford and serves on the West Hartford Juvenile Review Board.
