Dr. Jones was the recipient of a Rotary Fellowship in 1963-64, representing the Northern District of West Virginia. He studied in Bonn, Germany, and visited Rotary clubs throughout Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and The Netherlands. After his return to the USA he completed his law degree, then returned to Germany under a Fulbright Scholarship (1967-69), and completed his doctoral dissertation at Munich, Germany, after which he and his wife taught, published and consulted in many countries, in the fields of International Human Rights and Social Policy.
Since that time he continued speaking to Rotary throughout Europe, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, and the U.K. He is multilingual, speaking and writing fluent German, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and, of course, English, and can give presentations in several more languages.
An article about Dr. Jones was published in REconnections magazine in late 2002.
In 2006, He was a visiting “diplomat” in Bulgaria with Dr. Martin Gramatikov’s team, espousing and teaching the principles of Community Policing. They published a book which he co-authored, entitled Politsia v Blizhost do Obshtestvoto (Police in Partnership with the Community). The book is now in use as a manual by the Bulgarian National Police.
He is presently using Rotary experience to network with police departments and social institutions in Europe to research and develop the most effective programs for successfully reintegrating jail and prison inmates after their release. As you are aware, Los Angeles County needs more such projects, and European progress in this field makes their collaboration especially fruitful and promising. Dr. Jones is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the LASD Inmate Welfare Commission.
He has just completed a book of historical fiction, entitled The Goths: Children of the Flood, which tells in prose, poetry and discourse the 700-year history of the Gothic peoples and their Diaspora from Sweden some 2,000 years ago and throughout Europe. It will appear shortly as an iUniverse publication.
