WHEELER, STANTON
Stanton Wheeler, Ford Foundation Professor Emeritus of Law and the Social Sciences and Professorial Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, died Friday in New Haven from complications related to a cardio-vascular condition. He was 77. Dr. Wheeler taught sociology of law, administration of criminal justice, white collar crime, sports and law, and music and law. Wheeler is best known for his pioneering work in the integration of law and social science. He was the author of ten books, including, "Social Science in the Making: Essays on the Russell Sage Foundation, 1907-1972" (with David C. Hammack, 1994); "Crimes of the Middle Classes: White Collar Offenders in the Federal Courts" (with David Weisburd, E. Waring and N. Bode, 1991); and "Sitting in Judgment: The Sentencing of White Collar Criminals" (with Kenneth Mann and Austin Sarat, 1988). Among his dozens of articles were "Rethinking Amateurism and the NCAA, " "Sentencing Matters, " and "The Problem of White Collar Crime Motivation." He was a musician and jazz lover, playing trumpet with a wide variety of jazz bands throughout his adult life. He was also a great fan of sports, especially golf, which he played at a very high level in college and for many years beyond. "Stan Wheeler helped to create the field of sociology of law, " said Harold Hongju Koh, Dean of the Yale Law School. "For decades he immeasurably enriched Yale's community as a scholar, teacher, college master, musician, sportsman, and friend." Wheeler graduated from Pomona College in 1952, and earned his doctorate in Sociology from the University of Washington in 1958. He was selected as a Fulbright Research Scholar at the Institutes of Sociology and Criminology, University of Oslo, Norway in 1960-61 where he studied the Scandinavian prison system. He taught at Harvard University and the University of Washington before joining the Russell Sage Foundation in New York in 1964. In 1968, he began his full-time Yale appointment as Professor of Law and Sociology. In 1970-71, he was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, California. In 1982, he became Ford Foundation Professor of Law and the Social Sciences at the Yale Law School. He served on or led many professional and advisory committees and boards. From 1984-91, Dr. Wheeler was Member, then Chair, of the National Academy of Science/National Research Council's Committee on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. In 1985-87, Wheeler took a leave of absence from Yale when he was selected to be the first President of the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, the successor organization to the Los Angeles Olympic Committee following the 1984 summer Olympic Games. Following his return to Yale, Wheeler continued his commitment to sports, serving as Chair of the Faculty Committee on Athletics from 1994-02, and member until 2004. Wheeler had an ongoing dedication to the support and guidance of young people in the development of their academic, professional, and cultural lives. This was strongly in evidence during his six year term as Master of Morse College from 1995 to 2001. It was also reflected in his long association with the Yale Jazz Ensemble. At the time of his death, he was part of the jazz ensemble's trumpet section. Dr. Wheeler took Emeritus status in 2002 and continued teaching through June, 2007. In 2004, he received The Fellows of the American Bar Foundation Outstanding Scholar Award. At the time of his death, he was the chairman of the Research Committee of the American Bar Foundation; a member of the Board of Senior Editors, Law and Society Review; and on the editorial board of the Journal of Law, Economics and Organization.
