In Memory of Jason Phillips

It is with great sadness that we notify you about the passing of Jason Phillips – one of our DOV members and the 2018 recipient of the Larry J. Siegel Fellowship for Victimology Studies. Jason was a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers and was preparing to defend his dissertation and begin a postdoctoral fellowship at Temple University. We are deeply saddened by the news of his passing. 

A Foundation in his honor has been set up: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jason-b-phillips-foundation

We extend our deepest sympathies to Jason’s family, friends, and the Departments of Sociology at Rutgers and Temple University.
