Watland, Kresse and Lucki publish article in Police Chief

Kate Watland and Bill Kresse, assistant professors at the Graham School of Management, and John Lucki, Chicago Police Detective Sergeant and adjunct professor at the Graham School of Management, published “Business Schools: A New Ally in the Fight against Identity Crime” in the February 2008 issue of Police Chief. The article discusses the various ways in which university business schools across the nation are working with law enforcement agencies to combat identity theft and other frauds. Included in the article is a discussion of Saint Xavier University’s decade-old “Partnership in Education” program with the Chicago Police Department, under which SXU has offered undergraduate and graduate courses at the CPD Academy, and which led to the development of SXU’s unique classroom-based MBA program in financial fraud and management.
