Personal Profile

Dr. Micucci has done fieldwork in Ontario on the changing division of labour between public and private policing forces in Canada and the social control implications this division has for society. His work has appeared in a variety of scholarly and mainstream publications, including: Journal of Criminal Justice, Prison Journal, Canadian Journal of Higher Education, Peace Review, Journal of Security Administration, RCMP Gazette, Canadian Security, and The Journal of Offender Monitoring. His current research and teaching interests are associated with the sociological dimensions of gambling (leisure, health, social inequality, work and industry, deviance and crime). Dr. Micucci is particularly interested in investigating the expanding legalized gambling sector in Canada whether it is in the form of lotteries, casinos, video lottery terminals, or slot machines.
