Social disorganization or defended Neighborhoods? New evidence from area-identified National Crime Victimization Survey Data
A substantial body of work has aimed to elucidate the spatial distribution of hate crimes, frequently referencing the defended neighborhood hypothesis and traditional ecological theories of crime, such as social disorganization theory. Although both theoretical frameworks recognize the importance of community characteristics, they differ in their interpretation of the underlying theoretical mechanisms. To date, however, comprehensive evaluations …
Group threat and power-differential theories as differential predictors of religion-motivated hate crimes and the construction of local hate crime statistics
Hate-Motivated Violence in America
How are Transgender Homicides Unique and Similar to Other Homicides
Fatal violence against the transgender community has been declared an epidemic by the American Medical Association, yet remains understudied. This study examines the unique correlates for transgender homicide and compares them to general homicides using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System and the Tracking Transgender Homicide in America database. The primary analytic sample includes 24,664 general homicides and 314 transgender …
The Social Production of Hate Crime Statistics
The decentralized nature of American policing largely allows agencies to define crime, and the requisite severity of that crime, at the institutional level. As a result, local hate crime statistics are differentially constructed across space. The current research posits that official hate crime statistics most accurately reflect a rate-producing, rather than a behavior-producing, process. Focusing on anti-Muslim hate crime, a particularly underst…
Punishing Hate
While first implemented in the 1980s, hate crime legislation remains divisive in America; yet, most research examining differences in support for hate crime laws was conducted decades ago. This research addresses this gap by examining individual differences in support for hate crime laws using information from 3,503 survey respondents across the U.S. The results indicate that most respondents (66%) support hate crime laws, and that only roughly 1…
Collective Memory and Racialized Punishment in Schools Named After Confederate Figures
Currently, more than 250 public schools in the United States are named after Confederate leaders who actively fought to preserve slavery in America. This history, however, is implicitly omitted when their names are emblazoned over the entryway to a school. The current research considers how the use of Confederate names at the school level impacts how individuals construct and interpret both the Confederacy and the history of white racist violence…
Police bias units and hate crime reporting
This study examines the role of police bias units as a factor in hate crime reporting. We use a series of survey logistic regression models to analyze a restricted version of the National Crime Victimization Survey, which we merge with data on the presence of police bias units. The results indicate that the greater presence of police bias units is positively associated with an increased likelihood of hate crime reporting. Notably, with an initial…
Precarious Protection
While a great deal of research has considered racial disparities in the justice system, there has been a lack of research on Asian populations. This research addresses this omission by conducting a comprehensive examination of policing of Asian victims and suspects. To accomplish this, this study uses NIBRS data to examine variation in arrest for Asian-involved incidents of violent crime. Results indicate that incidents involving Asian victims ar…
Special Issue Introduction
When we first started working on research on hate and bias crime, more than a decade ago, we were both met with some skepticism. Not about the importance of the topic, per se, but we were warned th
Are Group Settings Intoxicating? Groups, Alcohol, and the Situational Dynamics of Violence
Research consistently demonstrates that both group offending and alcohol use change the anticipated rewards and consequences of offending, often exacerbating violent outcomes. Alcohol use is also a common feature of group delinquency and offending. Yet, scholars have yet to examine the interaction of these features of crime. Following this, this study investigates the interactive effects of co-offending and alcohol use on the severity of violent …
Constrained Choice? The Role of Co-Offenders and Structural Context in the Decision to Escalate Interpersonal Violence
Over the past decade, research on human agency and choice has grown within the field of criminology. However, most of this research has focused on the initial decision to offend, with less of a focus on the choices made during an offense. The current study addresses this gap by focusing on the role of situational and structural context in decisions during instances of interpersonal violence. Using data about violent incidents from the 2016 Nation…
Differential compliance with the reporting of hate crime statistics as a function of state laws
Understanding community hate crimes as an incorrigible proposition
The Hate Crime Statistics Act (HCSA) of 1990 requires the federal government to publicly release official hate crime statistics annually; the HCSA does not, however, mandate that local agencies submit hate crime reports to the government in the first place. Although research has evaluated the reporting of hate crime statistics in a dichotomous fashion (compliance vs. noncompliance), the current study suggests that the consistent and invariable re…
Historical Markers or Markers of White Supremacy? Confederate Memorialization, Racial Threat, and Hate Crime
Many Confederate monuments were erected during the Jim Crow era, sending symbolic messages of intimidation and hostility to the Black population. Yet no studies have examined the relationship between contemporary Confederate memorialization and bias crime. Drawing from research on hate crime law compliance, we posit an inverse relationship between Confederate monuments and mobilization of hate crime law, such that compliance with hate crime laws …

What If They Were White? The Differential Arrest Consequences of Victim Characteristics for Black and White Co-offenders
A substantial body of research focuses on racial disparity in the criminal justice system, with mixed results due to difficulty in disentangling differential offending from racial bias. Additionally, some research has demonstrated that victim characteristics can exacerbate racial disparity in outcomes for offenders, but little research has focused on the arrest stage. We use a quasi-experimental approach that examines incidents involving co-offen…
Severity matters
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has noted contradictory findings regarding race and police notification, such that Black people indicate higher levels of distrust in the police yet report victimization to the police at rates similar to or higher than others. We investigated the role of offense severity in accounting for these discrepancies. HYPOTHESES: We hypothesized that severity would moderate racial differences in reporting, such that Black vict…
The Role of Hate Crime Victimization, Fear of Victimization, and Vicarious Victimization in Covid-19-Related Depression
As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread and continued, much attention has been focused on the physical costs of the virus. That said, early research has also demonstrated an impact on mental health, including depression. At the same time, there has been a documented increase in hate crime victimization during the pandemic. Importantly, hate crime victimization—and fear of victimization—has also been demonstrated to increase depressive symptoms. Follo…
Are Asian Victims Less Likely to Report Hate Crime Victimization to the Police? Implications for Research and Policy in the Wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Anti-Asian hate crimes have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, no research has considered whether crime reporting patterns are different among Asian hate crime victims, relative to other victims. Following this, this research presents an examination of differences in reporting victimization to the police between Asian and non-Asian victims using information from 997 respondents who experienced a hate crime in the first 1 to 2 months of …
Fear, Political Legitimization, and Racism
Unfortunately, there is a long history linking pandemics to Anti-Asian prejudice and xenophobia; these negative outcomes have been particularly pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some scholars have suggested that these relationships are driven by fear, wherein individuals respond to disease threat by “othering” that threat. Other research has implicated the role of the state, including the political rhetoric of former President Trump, in ex…

Hate Crime Victimization and Weapon Use
Prior research has suggested that hate crimes hurt more, in that they are more physically severe than other crimes. A separate body of research has focused on the role of weapons in exacerbating violence; yet, no research has considered the role of weapon use in bias crime victimization. Following this, this research examines the relationship between weapon use, bias motivation, and victimization in the United States. On one hand, weapons may pla…
Temporal Clustering of Hate Crimes in the Aftermath of the Brexit Vote and Terrorist Attacks
This study examines the temporal clustering of hate crimes in Scotland, England and Wales in the wake of the Brexit vote and the 2017 terrorist attacks. Using an interrupted time-series design, we analyzed hate crime data by motivation type and month as provided by area police forces under the Freedom of Information Act. The results revealed a significant increase in crimes based on religious bias in Scotland, England and Wales after the 2017 ter…

Restitution Payment and Recidivism
Research Summary Restitution is court‐ordered payment by an offender to compensate a crime victim for direct tangible losses resulting from the crime. Making regular restitution payments, it has been argued, may serve as a continual reminder to offenders of the harm they caused and their need to restore justice. In this study, we examined the recidivism of offenders who were delinquent in paying restitution and who had participated in a prior exp…
Paying Restitution
Research Summary Most crime victims do not receive the restitution they are owed. This study is an experiment that addresses two reasons offenders give for why they do not pay their court‐ordered restitution: (a) lack of understanding of how much they owe and where their payments are directed and (b) a belief that the sanctions are unfair. A total of 771 offenders were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in a 2 × 2 between‐subjects design…

When are victims unlikely to cooperate with the police
Data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) are used to examine the tendency for victims of physical assault, sexual assault, and robbery to refuse to cooperate with the police (N= 3,856,171). Analyses of physical assaults involving homosexual and heterosexual couples did not support the hypothesis that women attacked by their male partners are less likely to cooperate than victims of other assaults. Analyses of violent offense…
