I´m sorry to hear of the loss of Professor Friedrichs. His sociology 101 class at University of Scranton really challenged my very limited understanding of the world and helped me uncover beliefs I didn´t know I had over 30 years ago. A wonderful teacher!

So sad to hear of David´s passing. I got to know him through numerous interactions over the years at the American Society of Criminology (ASC) annual meetings. He was a true pioneer in the study of white-collar/corporate crime and state crime. Moreover, he was a kind, generous individual. He will be sorely missed.
