I was getting ready for a criminal justice class on social control systems when the planes were hitting the World Trade Center. My first reaction was oh shoot, the terrorists have won, now the US government will overreact out of fear, and attack somewhere like Afghanistan, where we will by retaliation help terrorists recruitment in hardening enmity against us, and the military industrial complex will be served, doing what the Project for a New American Century called for in 1999: creating a new Pearl Harbor to re-forge national unity. Whoever brought off 9/11 (notice the play on our emergency phone number, how clever) must have cheered at the results they got.

About Me
- Hal
- Worthington, OH, United States
- I retired Jan. 2009 from after 33 years on the criminal justice faculty at Indiana University, Bloomington. I continue not to charge for any form of public service, including speaking and consulting, and now have plenty of free time to do so on request. I do not do social networking. I regularly monitor just one email account: pepinsky@indiana.edu; my home phone number is 1-614-885-6341; my skype name is halpep. My papers and such are archived at http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/findingaids/view?brand=general&docId=InU-Ar-VAA9639.xml&doc.view=entire_text. I am known as a co-founder of "peacemaking criminology." Page proofs of my latest, 2006 U of Ottawa Press book, Peacemaking: Reflections of a Radical Criminologist, are freely available at http://critcrim.org/sites/default/files/Pepinsky_proofs_0.pdf , the end of which lists my publications, nine books and over 80 articles and chapters in all, on a wide range of subjects from the international to the interpersonal level. My preceding book, A Criminologist's Quest for Peace, is also freely available at http://critcrim.org/pepinsky, and a pdf of Myths That Cause Crime is on the critcrim.org home page.
