Daniel Hillyard | SIU

Criminology and Criminal Justice

Dr. Hillyard joined the SIU faculty in the Fall of 2002 after serving as postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Criminology, Law & Society at the University of California, Irvine. He received his Ph.D. in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine in 1999.

Prior to coming to SIU, he co-authored a book detailing the modern history, politics, ethics, and legal aspects of the "right to die," with a focus on the many nuances that "legalization" can entail. These and similar scholarly themes underlie Dr. Hillyard's recent book on crime, law, and morality in America.
