Awards for distinguished contribution to research in psychology: Linda A. Teplin.

One of the two winners of this award is Linda A. Teplin. She pioneered the introduction of rigorous psychological field methodologies into real-world criminal justice contexts. Her widely cited studies of how police interact with citizens they perceive as mentally disordered have become the gold standard for research on police behavior. Her more recent but equally definitive work on the prevalence of mental disorder among urban jail populations has firmly established the extraordinary need for mental health services within these community institutions. Her creation of an empirically derived scale to facilitate the referral of inmates for psychological evaluation has the potential to transform jail mental health services in the United States.
