James Alan Fox is Dean of the College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University in Boston. He has published twelve books, including Mass Murder, Overkill, and Killer on Campus. He has also published dozens of journal and magazine articles and newspaper columns, primarily in the areas of multiple murder, juvenile crime, workplace violence, and capital punishment. As an authority on homicide, he appears regularly on television and radio programs around the country, and is frequently interviewed by the national press. He was also profiled in a two-part cover story in USA Today, entitled "The Dean of Death" and the June 1996 issue of Scientific American. Fox often gives lectures and expert testimony, including eight appearances before the United States Congress, a White House meeting with President Clinton and Vice President Gore on youth violence, and a private briefing to Attorney General Reno on trends in juvenile violence. Finally, Fox is the subject of a forthcoming television movie about a college dean who moonlights as a serial murder investigator.
