The Gender-Crime Convergence across Race-Ethnicities
This paper examines the mismatched liberation perspective to explain the gender ratio of imprisonment across U.S. racial/ethnic groups. The theory posits that a misalignment between women’s cultural aspirations and societal means to achieve them leads to higher female crime rates compared to male. Utilizing U.S. data from 1980 to 2019, the paper constructs measures of mismatched liberation by examining varied cultural and social structures across…
Considerations on the Construction, Timing, and Consequences of the Psychedelic Renaissance
Institutionally supported studies on psychedelic use are growing tremendously in the United States, leading US mass media outlets to declare a psychedelic renaissance. Interestingly, national survey data also indicate increases in nonmedical psychedelic use. Largely due to the reinstatement of system-supported psychedelic experiments, the dominant cultural narrative of psychedelic use today contrasts sharply with that of the late 1960s when psych…
Living as Socially Marked Individuals
Perceptions, applications, and consequences of stigma have been of interest to sociologists for centuries. Following criticisms of original labeling models, modified labeling theory (MLT) sought to reframe arguments about the consequences of negative labeling. MLT focuses on explaining how socialization teaches us the deleterious consequences of stigmatizing labels, and how anticipations of stigma are met with deliberate management to cope with e…
Joblessness, Poverty, and Neighborhood Crime
Political and public rhetoric often tout the detrimental effects of poverty and the stabilizing effects of jobs when discussing issues of crime and disorder. Several decades ago, William Julius Wilson proposed that while poverty has been a long-standing problem across U.S. cities, a “new urban poverty” associated with the massive disappearance of jobs may better explain neighborhood crime and violence. Although scholarship continues to theorize a…
Criminalization and Drug “Wars” or Medicalization and Health “Epidemics
American Slaughterhouses and the Need for Speed
In Fast Food Nation , Eric Schlosser argues that slaughterhouse workers use methamphetamines to manage the harsh physical and emotional demands of the meatpacking industry. Similar ideas have been raised elsewhere; however, empirical tests of this hypothesis are in short supply. In this article, we elaborate on theoretical mechanisms that may explain why the meatpacking industry encourages methamphetamine use and provide a macro-level test of the…
I'm Not a Traditional Woman
Research consistently finds that men use all types of drugs more frequently and extensively than women. However, the misuse of prescription tranquilizers provides an exception. Recent research has found that women are more likely to misuse tranquilizers than men, yet few efforts have been made to systematically understand why this is the case and whether there are gendered factors that might help explain their misuse. Building on general strain t…
Does the use of binary indicators reify difference and inequality
Sex Ratios, Single Motherhood, and Gendered Structural Relations
Sex ratio research often ignores how structural inequalities influence sex ratio effects. Employing decomposition analysis and using standardized U.S. Census tract data from 1970 to 2000, this research investigates how adult sex ratio effects predict the proportion of single parenting women among White, Black, and Hispanic/Latino populations, examining both main and conditional effects of sex ratios on female-headed families. Analyses reveal that…
Sex Ratio Effects on Marital Formation and Dissolution, 1980-2000
Although marriage market characteristics are often used to explain in-out marriage transitions, Guttentag and Secord's sex ratio thesis provides a unique theoretical framework by which to elucidate marriage and divorce. The theory emphasizes the availability of 'opposite' sex partners as an important factor, but hypothesized outcomes assume a gendered marriage market whereby males are more socioeconomically powerful than females. Using geographic…
The Importance of Romantic and Work Relations on Nonmedical Prescription Drug Use Among Adults
Drawing from Sampson and Laub's age-graded theory, we examine whether the presence and quality of social bonds influences nonmedical usage of prescription drugs (opioids, tranquilizers, sedatives, and stimulants). We analyze data from a large and nationally representative sample of adults from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Results from a series of logistic regression models indicate that married individuals ar…
Conceptual Remixing in Criminology
Sociologists have previously argued that our current knowledge and inquiries stem from our standing on the shoulders of giants. Exactly how this occurs, however, may be less clear. This paper identifies how the works of two of the most valued classical social theorists – Durkheim and Marx – have influenced theories of crime causation. In doing so, I reveal that classical social theory continues to be relevant in the advancement of criminological …
Exploring Stigmatization and Stigma Management in Mental Health Court
Drawing on Link and colleagues' modified labeling theory, this article examines whether the stigma management strategies defendants anticipate using after mental health court exit are associated with their reported experiences during court. Using survey data from 34 mental health court graduates, we find that respondents generally perceive the mental health court as procedurally just, did not experience stigmatizing shame, and anticipate using th…
Examining Mental Health Court Completion
Sociologists have long-raised concern about disparate treatment in the justice system. Focal concerns have become the dominant perspective in explaining these disparities in legal processing decisions. Despite the growth of problem-solving courts, little research has examined how this perspective operates in nontraditional court settings. This article used a mixed-method approach to examine focal concerns in a mental health court (MHC). Observati…
Adult Nonmedical Prescription Drug Use
Using data from the 2010 National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), this research examines the extent to which social bonds predict nonmedical prescription drug use among adults. Logistic regression analyses reveal that marital bonds are consistently and negatively related to various types of nonmedical drug use net other social and medical factors; however, employment bonds are only significant and negative in models predicting nonmedical p…
