Ira Lipman Marvin Wolfgang was the greatest criminologist in the
United States of America in the last half of the 20th century, if
not the entire century. We first met on March 3, 1977, in
Philadelphia. I sought him out after his work with Edwin Newman's
NBC Reports: Violence in America. He was a tender, loving, caring
individual who loved excellence-whether it be an intellectual
challenge, the arts or any other pursuit. It is a great privilege
to take part in honoring Marvin Wolfgang, a great American. Our
approaches to the subject of crime came from different perspectives
one as a researcher and the other as the founder of one of the
world's largest security services companies. We both wanted to
understand the causes of crime, and our discussions began a more
than 21-year friendship, based on mutual respect and shared values.
Dr. Wolfgang's scholarship aimed for the goal of promoting a safer,
more prosperous society, one in which economic opportunity replaced
criminal enterprise. He never saw crime in isolation but as part of
a complex web of social relations. Only by understanding the causes
and patterns of crime can society find ways to prevent it. Only
through scholarship can the criminal justice community influence
policy makers. To encourage the innovative scholarship that marked
Marvin's career, Guardsmark established the Lipman Criminology
Library at the University of Pennsylvania, at his request, and
created a national criminology award in his name, the Wolfgang
Award for Distinguished Achievement in Criminology."
