This week on The Bloom Where You’re Planted Podcast, we sit down with professor and author, James B. Wells. 

James is a Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice in the School of Justice Studies in the College of Justice & Safety at Eastern Kentucky University (EKU). He has an A.A., B.A., and M.S. in Criminal Justice, as well as a Ph.D. in Research, Measurement, and Statistics. In addition to having over forty peer- reviewed publications in areas related to adult corrections and juvenile justice, he has authored or co-authored multiple books and over 150 research reports for various local, state, and federal agencies. 

As a result of learning the circumstances of his father’s 1965 death in Vietnam are still classified, Dr. Wells has been on a quest to learn about the father he never got a chance to know, to recreate certain events in his life, to discover the truth about his death, to attempt to find peace for him and his family, and to write about it.
