Kevin B Fornshill serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society at George Mason University, specializing in extremism research and hate crime investigation. His instructional portfolio includes CRIM 325: Hate Crimes and CRIM 490: White Extremist Ideology and Criminal Behavior, earning him the Department's Instructor Appreciation Award (2016-2017) and the ADL SHIELD Award (2010) for decade-long contributions to hate crime investigations in the National Capital Region.
His academic foundation comprises an M.A. in Criminal Justice from Boston University, a B.A. in Public Affairs from George Mason University, and specialized federal training through the Criminal Investigative Training Program (CITP-601) and Police Integrated Training Program (PITP-703) at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
Fornshill's research centers on white supremacist ideology and terrorism trends, maintaining the Law Enforcement Online Special Interest Group on White Extremism with extensive resources including extremist literature, tattoo documentation, and multimedia files. His secondary scholarly output in neuroeconomics—evident in 15 recent publications—examines trust dynamics, market behavior, and decision neuroscience through experimental frameworks, though this economic research appears distinct from his institutional criminology profile.
Key recognitions include:
- George Mason University Instructor Appreciation Award (2016-2017)
- ADL SHIELD Award for hate crime investigation (2010)
He actively bridges academia and law enforcement through expert testimony (Supreme Court of Canada, New Brunswick Court of Appeals), DHS/FLETC instruction, and presentations at venues including the TiNYg 2024 Strategic Security Conference and FBI Terrorism Trends Training. His operational work with the Law Enforcement Online SIG facilitates nationwide intelligence sharing on extremist threats.
Fornshill's Enterprise Hall office coordinates critical resources for federal, state, and local agencies combating domestic extremism through the White Extremism SIG platform.
