Joan McCord (1930–2004) was a criminologist who widely influenced the areas of criminology, criminal justice, and sociology. McCord is best known for her work on the Cambridge‐Somerville Youth Study, which examined the long‐term effects of interventions with at‐risk youth. At the time of her death, McCord was a Professor of Criminal Justice at Temple University. From 1988 to 1989 McCord served as the first female president of the American Society of Criminology. Her other honors include the prestigious 1993 Prix Emile Durkheim Award from the International Society of Criminology, the 1994 American Society of Criminology's Sutherland Award, and the 2002 Social Policy Best Journal Article Award from the Society on Adolescence.
