Brian J. Frederick is a queer criminologist.They currently serve as an assistant professor of criminal justice at SUNY Empire State College in Brooklyn.
Education and Research Interests[edit]
In 2016, Frederick completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate in Global and Cultural Criminology program at the School of Social Policy, Sociology & Social Research at the University of Kent (Canterbury, England) and the Institute für Kriminologische Sozialforschung at University of Hamburg (Hamburg, Germany).
Their research focuses on how the ongoing commercialization,[1] commodification and gentrification[2] of queer physical space (i.e., ‘gay ghettos’) and queer virtual space affects sexual experiences among gay, bisexual and queer men (GBQM). Their research also looks at the impact of criminal justice and public health interventions, as well as the stigmatisation, marginalisation and oppression of GBQM by contemporary gay culture.[3]
Several areas in which Frederick is actively researching include:
- Intimate partner violence and intimate partner homicide in same-sex relationships, including where transgender individuals are victims
- Serial murder involving gay, bisexual and queer male victims and perpetrators
- Queer male drug use
- Critical criminological pedagogy[4]
Frederick's research takes a critical stance towards current criminal justice policies and public health strategies that target gay, bisexual, and queer male drug users.
Media appearances[edit]
Frederick is a subject-matter expert on numerous episodes of Meet, Marry, Murder, which launched on the True Crime Network (U.S.) and the Crime & Investigation network (U.K.) in Spring 2021. He also features as a subject matter expert on Making a Serial Killer, a U.S. television series that profiles North American serial killers. The series launched on Amazon Prime and Apple TV in January 2022.
Additionally, Frederick has made numerous media appearances on topics such as American politics, the U.S. criminal justice system, the 'Dark Web, U.K. knife crime, psychopathy, and the Salisbury poisonings, among others.
