As a retired professor, Gil Geis is able to do pretty much what he pleases in regard to research projects - presuming he is capable of mastering the subject. In the past few years, he has co-written books on a 17th century witchcraft case in England, on five "crimes of the century" in the United States, and on the fertility clinic scandal at UCI, and edited, with Mary Dodge, a collection of essays by leading figures in criminology on their advice for newcomers. In the same period, he also co-authored a textbook on criminology (4th edition) and on juvenile delinquency (3d edition). He publishes a great deal because he likes to write and has been at it long enough to have gotten some sense of how to put together an acceptable article or book chapter.


His major interest always has been white-collar crime, but he will tackle anything that he finds interesting and intriguing - he and a colleague, for instance, have written some five articles during the last two years on the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to the construction of sports arenas.
