The Relationship Between Indigenous People, Crime, and Extractive Industries in the United States
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples in the United States and Indian Country and Alaska Native Villages are disproportionately impacted by extractive industries such as mining, forestry, and drilling. While extractive industries may bring economic benefits to communities, they can also contribute to increased crime and violence. This scoping review identifies and examines the current research on extractive industries and violence aga…
Promoting Formative Evaluations and Evaluability Assessments in Research on Domestic Violence Intervention Programs
We conducted a formative evaluation and evaluability assessment of a novel approach to domestic violence (DV) intervention in Seattle, Washington: The Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP). The DVIP seeks to address DV through evidence-based DV intervention programming and a multi-agency response. Using document reviews, deidentified case file reviews, focus groups with DVIP team members, and a data review, we examined: (1) the extent to …
Victim Notification and Re-Engagement in the Minnesota Sexual Assault Kit Initiative
Using data from the Minnesota sexual assault kit initiative (MN SAKI) project, we examined the predictors of victim notifications, processes, and the outcomes. Findings indicated cases selected for victim notification ( n = 80; 19.8%) were more likely to involve victims who were non-White and not cooperative; suspects who were strangers, adults, and non-White; and SAKs with DNA evidence, but not CODIS hits. While most victims were located and not…
What predicts testing a sexual assault kit? Findings from the Minnesota sexual assault kit initiative project
Indigenizing Social Disorganization Theory
Prior research that is grounded in social disorganization theory has found that community characteristics impact victimization. Despite the robust literature using social disorganization theory, very few studies have used this theory to examine violence and victimization in Indigenous communities. The following study examined counties in 14 states that fully or partially contained reservation land ( N = 251) to determine the applicability of this…
Understanding the Needs of Victims of Criminal Justice System-Related Harms
This study focuses on identifying the types of criminal justice harms via error and failure that can occur across multiple sectors of the criminal justice system (policing, courts, and corrections), and the groups of people who may be most at-risk for experiencing these harms. In the summer of 2024, we conducted a series of semi-structured interviews with 20 participants, including research experts, criminal justice system employees, formerly jus…
Enhancing intercultural education
Navigating Eurocentric teacher education settings presents significant challenges for both educators and learners, particularly when engaging with issues of race, privilege, and Indigenous perspectives. This paper draws on interviews with 16 Indigenous experts from Australia, Canada, the US, and New Zealand, woven together with reflective practice from compulsory Indigenous studies courses in Queensland, Australia. Our analysis reveals three key …
On Assessing the Scope of Missing Native Americans in Nebraska
Recent legislation in multiple states has called for studies on the scope of missing Native American persons. Here we report on one such study from Nebraska by first describing the practical and methodological issues for researchers to consider when examining data on missing Native persons. Then, using data from four point-in-time-counts in 2020, rates of Native American missing persons as well as case contexts over the study period are reported.…
Changes in Jail Admissions Before and After Traumatic Brain Injury
Controlling Schools
School resource officer (SRO) behavior varies across schools, but little is known about what shapes their behavior. Social ecological theories state that features of communities shapes individual behavior, including police officers. This may similarly apply to SROs. This study uses the 2015 to 2016 School Survey on Crime and Safety to test the extent to which three aspects of a school’s context related to behavior management (i.e., security measu…
Mental Illness, Substance Use, and Co-Occurring Disorders among Jail Inmates
Mental illnesses, substance use, and their co-occurrence are significant predictors of maladaptive outcomes such as aggression, criminal behavior, and recidivism. These problems are theorized to be more prevalent and problematic among female inmates than male inmates and may be more relevant in jail settings. However, few studies have examined the relationship between these factors, including gender differences among the jail population. This stu…
The Role of Police Officer Race/Ethnicity on Crime Rates in Immigrant Communities
Few studies have examined the role of city police officer racial/ethnic representation on violent crime in immigrant neighborhoods. Yet police officer race/ethnicity might play a significant role in bolstering or weakening the relationship between immigration and violent crime rates. Researchers have posited that increasing the representation of minority officer would be an important avenue for making police departments more accountable to the co…
Neighborhoods and Intimate Partner Violence
We consider the broad developments that have occurred over the past decade regarding our knowledge of how neighborhood context impacts intimate partner violence (IPV). Research has broadened the concept of “context” beyond structural features such as economic disadvantage, and extended into relationships among residents, collective “action” behaviors among residents, cultural and gender norms. Additionally, scholars have considered how the built …
Decolonizing Vawa 2021
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was hallmark legislation aimed at combating violence against women. While violence against women is a national issue that affects women of all race/ethnicities, it affects Native American women the most, as Native women experience the highest rates of violence. Violence against Native women is rooted in colonization because it decreases the power of tribal government, diminishes tribal sovereignty, and devalu…
Impact of Differential Privacy and Census Tract Data Source (Decennial Census Versus American Community Survey) for Monitoring Health Inequities
Objectives. To investigate how census tract (CT) estimates of mortality rates and inequities are affected by (1) differential privacy (DP), whereby the public decennial census (DC) data are injected with statistical “noise” to protect individual privacy, and (2) uncertainty arising from the small number of different persons surveyed each year in a given CT for the American Community Survey (ACS). Methods. We compared estimates of the 2008–2012 av…
Responding to Crossover Youth
Crossover youth are involved in both child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM) promotes collaboration between these systems to inform decision making between the two agencies and better serve these youth. Yet, few outcome evaluations of the CYPM exist, especially those that assess outcomes beyond recidivism, such as case dispositions, case closure, or placement or living situations. This study examined …
Examining the Impact of Victimization on Girls’ Delinquency
Previous research has acknowledged that there is a relationship between victimization and later delinquency, but the specific attributes of this relationship are unclear because measures of both direct and indirect victimization are rarely explored in a single study. We included both indirect and direct victimization to examine which form of victimization was a stronger predictor of substance use, fighting, running away, and sex work among girls …
Traffic stops, race, and perceptions of fairness
Traffic stops are the most common reason for face-to-face encounters between police officers and citizens. Contact with police can affect citizens’ behaviour toward the police, particularly when citizens perceive unfair treatment by officers during these encounters. Yet, few studies have examined how experiencing a traffic stop affects citizens’ decisions to seek assistance from police or report non-crime emergencies. This study analysed data fro…
Factors associated with reporting of sexual assault among college and non-college women
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine factors impacting college and non-college women reporting sexual assault to police. The goal is to increase knowledge regarding differences in the rates of reporting and reasons for reporting across these two groups. Design/methodology/approach Participants were drawn from a national telephone survey of US women and a sample of US college women. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to …
Women in Prison
This essay provides some of the general profiles of female inmates across the United States and how they differ from those for male inmates. The unique problems faced by women in prisons that can interfere with their adaptation to confinement (e.g., pregnancies, recent births, separation from children) are described. How histories of physical and sexual abuse can impact institutional adjustment is also discussed in conjunction with a review of “g…
Integrating the Principles of Effective Intervention into Batterer Intervention Programming
The majority of batterer intervention program (BIP) evaluations have indicated they are marginally effective in reducing domestic violence recidivism. Meanwhile, correctional programs used to treat a variety of offenders (e.g., substance users, violent offenders, and so forth) that adhere to the “principles of effective intervention” (PEI) have reported significant reductions in recidivism. This article introduces the PEI—the principles on which …
Rape and Mental Health Outcomes Among Women
This study examined the mediating and moderating impact of fear of victimization on the relationships between forcible and vicarious rape on depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among college women. Forcible and vicarious rape positively affected PTSD and depression symptomology, but fear did not mediate these relationships. Fear moderated the impact of forcible rape on PTSD, but was not a moderator for depression. Findings sugges…
Intimate Partner Violence and Subsequent Depression
This study examines the direct effects of neighborhood supportive mechanisms (e.g., collective efficacy, social cohesion, social networks) on depressive symptoms among females as well as their moderating effects on the impact of IPV on subsequent depressive symptoms. A multilevel, multivariate Rasch model was used with data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods to assess the existence of IPV and later susceptibility of de…
Exposure to violence, substance use, and neighborhood context
Benson, Michael
Michael L. Benson is an American criminologist best known for his work on white‐collar and corporate crime. His article “Denying the guilty mind: Accounting for involvement in white collar crime,” and several books, including Combating corporate crime: Local prosecutors at work and White‐collar crime: An opportunity perspective , have made him a prominent scholar in the white‐collar area. Benson's work often applies mainstream criminological and …
The Protective Effects of Neighborhood Collective Efficacy on Adolescent Substance Use and Violence Following Exposure to Violence
The Cycle of Violence in Context
Although the cycle of violence theory has received empirical support (Widom, 1989a, 1989b), in reality, not all victims of child physical abuse become involved in violence. Therefore, little is known regarding factors that may moderate the relationship between abuse and subsequent violence, particularly contextual circumstances. The current investigation used longitudinal data from 1,372 youth living in 79 neighborhoods who participated in the Pr…
Immigration and Intimate Partner Violence
Recent evidence indicates that contrary to some criminological theories, immigrants are less violent than native-born Americans. The relationship between immigrant status and reduced violence appears to hold at both the individual and neighborhood levels of analysis. This phenomenon has been referred to as the immigrant or Latino paradox. It has been suggested, although rarely examined, that cultural differences and strong social networks among i…

Buffers’ against crime? Exploring the roles and limitations of positive relationships among women in prison
A considerable amount of research focuses on the detrimental influence that relationships pose for women offenders while relatively little attention has been given to the potential positive impact of relationships in their lives. This study investigates how women offenders’ positive relationships work as ‘buffers’ against their criminal involvement, as well as why some positive influences do not elicit long-term change in women. We examine variou…

Women’s Risk Factors and Their Contributions to Existing Risk/Needs Assessment
A growing body of scholarship faults existing risk/needs assessment models for neglecting the risk factors most relevant to women offenders. In response, a series of gender-responsive assessment models were tested for their contributions to widely used gender-neutral risk needs assessments. In six of eight samples studied, subsets of the gender-responsive scales achieved statistically significant contributions to gender-neutral models. Promising …

Gender-Responsive Lessons Learned and Policy Implications for Women in Prison
The authors review evidence of gender-responsive factors for women in prisons. Some gender-responsive needs function as risk factors in prison settings and contribute to women’s maladjustment to prison; guided by these findings, the authors outline ways in which prison management, staff members, and programming can better serve female prisoners by being more gender informed. The authors suggest that prisons provide treatment and programming servi…
The Impact of Neighborhoods on Intimate Partner Violence and Victimization
Research on intimate partner violence (IPV) and victimization is widespread across disciplines. To date, the majority of research underscores the importance of individual-level factors to explain IPV, thereby neglecting the significance of macro-level elements. Nevertheless, research suggests that the characteristics of the neighborhood where an individual lives are important for fully understanding IPV. This review focuses on the effects of neig…

Domestic Violence
Domestic violence ( DV ) is a major social issue affecting both men and women in American society. While DV is not new phenomenon, little was known about the dynamics surrounding it prior to the 1970s. Since the 1970s, more research has been devoted to studying this distinct form of violence. Estimates of DV , based on both official and self‐reports, in the United States are given, followed by a discussion of two distinct typologies of DV . This …
