His articles have been published in a variety of scholarly journals, including the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science; the Journal of the Forensic Sciences; the Journal of the American Statistical Association; and the Journal of Police Science and Administration.
A fellow and past president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Osterburg served on the ad hoc committee appointed by the President of the Academy to review the homicide of Robert F.
