About the Speakers:
Benjamin van Rooij is a Professional Researcher at UCI Law and Professor of Law and Society at the University of Amsterdam. An expert on regulatory theory, law enforcement, compliance, lawmaking, environmental law, and Chinese law, he is co-editor of Regulation & Governance and editor-in-chief of China Law and Society Review. Prof. van Rooij studies how legal rules shape individual and organizational behavior, drawing on the broader social and behavioral science to understand the processes of compliance, the effects of corporate culture, as well as the assumptions lawyers have about the behavioral effects of law. He uses innovative fieldwork data both to seek improvement to persistent implementation problems as well as to contribute to existing regulatory, criminological, and socio-legal theories. His work has appeared in popular media such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Huffington Post, National Public Radio, and The Hill, and in academic journals, including Plos One, the Journal of Social Issues, the Journal of Business Ethics, Law and Human Behavior, Law & Policy, Law & Social Inquiry, and Regulation & Governance.
Adam Fine is an Assistant Professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University (ASU). A developmental psychologist conducting research at the intersection of psychology, law, public policy, and criminology, Fine’s research broadly focuses on juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice. His current work centers on two areas: 1) how youth develop their perceptions of law enforcement, the law, and the justice system, paying particular attention to developmental trends and racial-ethnic differences; and 2) how experiences with the juvenile justice system affect youth outcomes and disparities. He is the Principal Investigator of the Youth Justice Lab at ASU. Prof. Fine's publications have appeared in major academic journals.
