In 2017, 31 percent of New Jersey's female recruits failed the physical test, compared to two percent of male recruits. Mazeika's criminology students investigated the differences in other state policies and shared their findings with Asbury Park Press reporter Andrew Ford. The students were credited in Ford's story, which appeared in the Press and USA Today and encouraged New Jersey officials to take another look at the state's fitness standards. Bone Stories Sociology and anthropology assistant professors Jared Beatrice and George Leader and their student researchers continue their participation in the Arch Street Bones project. In 2016, more than 400 remains of some of America's earliest colonists were discovered at a construction site in Philadelphia. Beatrice and Leader, along with researchers from Rutgers- Camden, The Mutter Research Institute, and the University of Pennsylvania, have embarked on a multiyear project to identify the biological profile and population demographics of the remains, which date back as far as the early 1700s.
