He is the author of eight books, including Domestic Marijuana (1992) and Methamphetamine: Its History, Pharmacology, and Treatment (2009). His recent scholarly work includes a new edition of the textbook Pursuing Justice (2015) and the research article “Rural Crime: A Global Perspective,” which was published last year in the International Journal of Rural Criminology.
