another James A. Fox in criminal justice

[edit]

I gather this James Alan Fox, criminology professor, is not the person I remember being named James A. Fox and who ran the FBI office for New York City and who later went to work for an insurance company and then turned up, unless the name was someone else's, as a university professor, but whom I didn't find in a cursory Google search. This article's Fox had a website (now archived) that said "[t]hirty-eight years on the Northeastern University faculty" (the link is in the article as an external link), so it seems the names and occupations are just coincidental.

I may have found the other Fox in a speech by an FBI then-Director about Jim Fox, a James Fox Memorial Lecture (URL as accessed 12-15-17). If this is the person I was thinking of, I take it he's deceased.
The person I'm thinking of also, I recall, had news coverage during his tenure. One radio news story about an arrest of suspects said the FBI agents said the suspects had "a sense of humor", suspect/s having put Fox's name on the door as if Fox was the tenant. I think he was in other coverage as well. I don't remember the sources.
