Herman Goldstein recently won the Stockholm Prize in Criminology for his work in creating and promulgating Problem-Oriented Policing. This is an important interview conduct by Larry Sherman of the Cambridge Centre for Evidence Based Policing.
This is a “must-see” for both academics and practitioners in the art of policing a free society. He has made a significant and life-long effort to improve the field.
I am privileged to call him friend and mentor during the past 45 years!

I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader calling for police improvement (for example, How To Rate Your Local Police, and with my wife, Sabine, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience). After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve a small church in North Lake (WI), east of Madison. Sabine and I have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also a retired police officer and we both continue active lives.
