        <div  class="newsletter-txt">Dr.  Ryan  Williams,  associate  professor  of  Criminology  and  Criminal  Justice  at  UIS,  has  contributed  his  expertise  to  the  popular  Netflix  documentary  series,  I  am  a  Stalker.  Production  crew  and  campus  interviews  occurred  in  March  2022,  and  Williams  spent  hours  speaking  with  the  producers,  who  he  says  were  “curious  and  open  to  listening  to  what  the  scholarly  literature  has  found  on  the  topic.”



“Criminologists  rarely  get  asked  by  the  media  to  discuss  crimes  other  than  violent  murders,  which  make  up  a  small  percentage  of  violent  crimes,”  Williams  says.</div>
