EDWIN H. SUTHERLAND AWARD
(Established 1960)
There is some inconsistency in the surviving records with respect to the genesis of the Sutherland Award. Some documents suggest that the award was created in 1952, shortly after Edwin Sutherland's death. Other material suggests that the Award was created in 1960, and still other documents speak to its creation in 1963.
There is general consistency in the historical record beginning in 1966, but things are somewhat unclear prior to that time. It is clear that Walter Reckless received the Sutherland Award at ASC's 1963 Annual Meeting, held in Cleveland, Ohio. It is not certain that Herbert Wecheler also received the Sutherland Award in 1963. There is some reference in the archived materials to Walter Reckless being the "first receipient" of the Sutherland Award in 1963, and that Thorsten Sellin received the Sutherland Award not in 1960, but in 1965. There are no references to Herbert Wecheler, Orlando W. Wilson, Negley Teeters nor Hon. J. C. McRuer ever receiving the Sutherland Award in any surviving historical documents, other than Albert Morris' published history of ASC. Since Albert Morris did list them as receipients, they are duly noted above.

AUGUST VOLLMER AWARD
(Established 1959)
The first award officially given by the American Society of Criminology was bestowed on Robert H. Gault, the long-time Editor of the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science, on December 28, 1958. The award ceremony was held at a joint meeting of AAAS and ASC, held in Washington, D.C on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Journal. There was an affiliation between ASC and the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science at the time.
At ASC's 1959 Annual Meeting held in Tucson two months later, the ASC Board established its first official organizational award, and named it after August Vollmer, the intellectual founder of the organization of that was to become ASC. The Vollmer Award was to be given for "an outstanding report or research in the field of criminology." The first recipients were Paul Bohannon and Marvin Wolfgang. They received the Vollmer Award at the ASC annual meeting the following year (1960).

PRESIDENT'S AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTIONS TO
JUSTICE
(Established 2001)
Then President Simon Dinitz gave Helen Silving, Santos Primo Amadeo, and Pedro Velez, Jr., Presidential Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Inter-American Criminology and Criminal Justice during the November 1971 meetings held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This appears to have been an ad-hoc arrangement, as there are no other Presidential Citations mentioned in any known records or archived correspondence.
