If memory serves, the University of Delaware has hired for 3 positions in
the last two years.  Two, I believe, were at the associate level and the
winning candidates were from Univ. New Hampshire (app't primarily to cj)
and the other had tenure at Northern Illinois University (soc/cj) but I'm 
not sure of the Phd granting institution. Both had a
proven track record in terms of publications and securing sizeable
research grants.  The assistant position (soc.) went to a candidate from
Columbia.  Six years ago the dept. hired two assistant profs.--one from 
Ohio State (cj) and the other from the New School (soc.).  Because the cj
dept. falls under the administration of the soc. dept. we seem to have a
broader mix of candidates (since so few of the high prestige schools have
any criminology/criminal justice programs).  Subsequently, the dept.
places considerable emphasis on publication record and the ability to
secure research funds.
