Crime and Justice in Maine

USM Criminology invites you to a series of conversations with leading figures in and around the criminal legal system in Maine. Join us for a discussion with Callie Ferguson, Investigative Reporter for the Bangor Daily News.

Callie Ferguson is an enterprise and investigative reporter for the Bangor Daily News, the only independent statewide daily newspaper in Maine. She writes about criminal justice, police, and housing. She is particularly interested in the operations of Maine county jails, rural law enforcement, and the state’s housing affordability crisis. In 2018, the Maine Press Association awarded her the Bob Drake Young Writers Award for her coverage of a 10-year-old girl’s murder at the hands of her parents, the first line-of-duty killing of a Maine sheriff’s deputy in 30 years, and her investigation of a police chief in Maine’s northernmost county.
