Misogyny and Criminal Thinking in a Sample of Men Convicted of IPV
This study empirically examined the relationship between criminal thinking and misogyny in a sample of 503 heterosexual men convicted of intimate partner violence (IPV) and referred to a community-based batterer intervention program. Drawing on survey data collected over two years, the study sought to identify the emotional and cognitive components of misogyny and assess their connection to criminal thinking. Findings demonstrated a significant a…
Still a soldier
Incarcerated veterans are a unique segment of the prison population, but despite growing research, the voices of incarcerated veterans remain largely absent from literature. Drawing upon Narrative Identity Theory, this study examines how veterans construct and negotiate their military identity while incarcerated. Analyzing 91 essays from 48 incarcerated veterans who voluntarily submitted to the American Prison Writing Archive, we identified three…
The Connection Between Organizational Justice and Job Satisfaction Among Probation and Parole Officers
A path model examining the association between organizational justice views and job satisfaction is proposed. The path model suggests that interpersonal and informational justice are associated with higher distributive justice views. Additionally, the path model offers that procedural and distributive justice are related to higher job satisfaction. The path model was tested with data from 222 parole and probation agents from a western U.S. state,…
Recidivism Among IPV Offenders
The study investigates the relationship between criminal thinking and recidivism among men convicted of intimate partner violence. Drawing on neutralization theory, it examines whether criminal thinking subscales are associated with recidivism within two years post conviction. Recidivism was defined conservatively as any new arrest, regardless of offense type. Results from multivariate statistical analyses indicate that none of the criminal think…
Do Men Who Uphold Traditional Gender Expectations for Women Exhibit Higher Rates of Intimate Partner Violence
This study examines how misogynistic attitudes and criminal thinking patterns jointly shape intimate partner violence (IPV), including emotional, psychological, threatening, and controlling behaviors. Using survey data from 503 heterosexual men and Generalized Linear Models, results show that misogyny is significantly associated with IPV in baseline models, but these effects weaken when criminal thinking is included. Power orientation and justifi…
Using QuantCrit to Examine Black and White Student Graduate School Enrollment Trends From 2002 to 2018
Applying the tenets of QuantCrit, longitudinal trends in estimated graduate school enrollment percentages for Black and White students from 2002 to 2018 were analyzed and compared using U.S. Department of Education data. While the statistical analyses for Black students confirmed a positive linear trend, the relatively recent downward movement from 2012 to 2018 is concerning. Considering the recent SCOTUS decision to eliminate any consideration o…
Mothers at the Intersection of Trauma, Addiction, and Involvement with the Criminal Legal System
The study focuses on the complex interconnection of race, sexuality, and socioeconomic background in shaping the stories of mothers struggling with addiction disorders as they attempt to recover from traumatic experiences. A sample of 45 mothers was employed in the study. Using case study analysis methodologies, the stories of 6 mothers were used as representative cases based on their individual characteristics, community settings, and institutio…

The Association Between Organizational Justice and Organizational Trust Among Correctional Staff
This study employed organizational justice theory to examine the influence of employee perceptions of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice on whether employees trust their supervisors and management. Analysis of survey results from 322 employees of a state prison located in the Southern United States indicate that procedural and interactional justice—but not distributive justice—predict employee trust in both supervisors and manage…
Using the Job Demands-Resources Model to Examine Possible Correlates of Fear of Being Victimized at Work Among Chinese Prison Officers
This study surveyed 322 officers at two prisons in China to investigate the influence of job demands (i.e., role overload and routinization), job resources (i.e., training, job autonomy, instrumental communication, and supervision), and demographic characteristics on workplace fear of victimization. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis indicated role overload was related to higher levels of fear, while training and job autonomy were r…
Examining the Mediating Effects of Organizational Trust on the Relationship between Organizational Justice and Job Attitudes among Correctional Staff
Drawing from organizational justice theory, this study examined the mediating effects of organizational trust on the association between organizational justice (i.e. in the forms of distributive and procedural justice) and the job attitudes of job satisfaction and organizational commitment in a sample of 220 correctional staff employed full-time at a high-security prison in the U.S. Midwest. Ordinary least squares regression results indicated tha…
Criminal Thinking in a Sample of Men and Women Attending a Multi-Site Batterer Intervention Program
The study investigated differences and similarities in criminal thinking between men and women attending a multi-site Batterer Intervention Program (BIP). Overall, rates of criminal thinking were low. However, the results of the multivariate analyses suggest that, after controlling for demographic characteristics (i.e., race, ethnicity, education, SES) and personal experiences (i.e., prior convictions, mental health problems, substance abuse, exp…
Social Support and Life Satisfaction Among Midwestern Correctional Staff
Prison work is demanding and can take a toll on staff. Improving the life satisfaction of correctional staff is one way for prisons to invest in the valuable resource that is their staff; however, in order to effect meaningful and lasting change, research is needed that examines how different workplace variables are linked to satisfaction with life. The current study explored how social support was related to the life satisfaction of correctional…
Descriptive National Evidence Comparing Hispanic and White Student Graduate Degree Completion Rates
Using data from the U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), longitudinal trends in graduate degree completion rates for Hispanic and White students were analyzed over a period of 17 years (2002–2019). The results indicated that there was a significant positive linear trend in graduation rates for both Hispanic and White graduate students, with no adverse impact …
A Statistical Analysis and Comparison of Hispanic and White Student Graduate School Enrollment Trends from 2002 to 2018
Using national data from the US Department of Education, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the US Census Bureau, trends in graduate school enrollment percentages for Hispanic and White students from 2002 to 2018 were analyzed and compared. Major findings from three regression analyses included: (1) a strong, statistically significant positive linear trend for Hispanic students, (2) a small, yet statistically significant, …
Perpetration and Victimization of Emotional Abuse and Controlling Behaviors in a Sample of Batterer Intervention Program’s Participants
The study employs a sample of 584 men and women referred to a multisite BIP and investigates IPV risk factors and stressors. The study also identifies unique risk factors and stressors in association with both IPV perpetration and IPV victimization. The findings show that women in the sample were more likely than men to report IPV victimization but the difference between the two groups is only marginally significant. Criminal thinking shows the m…

With increasing focus on military veterans returning to civilian life and the multitude of difficulties they face, a population of increasing concern is the justice-involved veteran. In this manuscript we provide a thorough review of extant literature on incarcerated veterans and veterans involved in specialized correctional programmes, exploring the historical and contemporary research on this unique correctional population. An examination of th…
The Impact of Correctional Facility Tours on Student Perceptions and Realizations of the Correctional Environment
Jail and prison tours have become an important educational tool in many criminal justice programs. This study uses an inductive approach to explore student perceptions of the physical and social environment of jails and prisons following tours of correctional facilities. The study draws from Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) which supports the focus on student reflections following experiential learning activities. Eighty essays were analyzed. T…
The U.S. Federal Response to Covid-19 During the First 3 Months of the Outbreak
This essay is a commentary on the U.S. Federal government response to the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak. The focus is on the response of the Trump Administration during the first 3 months of the outbreak, specifically the period between January 20, 2020, and May 15, 2020.

Unanticipated Consequences
Social interventions are subject to unanticipated and unintended consequences because gaining comprehensive information about a situation can be costly. In addition, social actors face many challenges due to society's need of immediate intervention to eliminate visible social imbalances. The assessment of negative consequences, however, might lie on the subjectivity of the examiner, as different groups of actors might tend to develop antagonistic…

New Opportunities or Closing Doors? How Correctional Facility Tours Impact Students’ Thoughts about Correctional Careers
Children may say they want to grow up to be a police officer, but we typically do not hear children saying they want to work in a prison or jail when they grow up. Given negative media attention of correctional facilities, it may not be surprising that many students enter criminal justice programs uninterested in correctional careers. Correctional facility tours can be useful for exposing criminal justice students to careers they may not have pre…

Fighting labor market discrimination with ban the box (BTB)
We develop a theoretical commentary on the implementation and expansion of the ban the box (BTB) movement as a legal response to the formal and informal discrimination ex‐offenders face every day in the labor market, in particular the racial impacts of such policies. We first provide a thorough overview of the numerous laws that have created barriers to ex‐offender employment. Then we focus on the advent of BTB legislation across the U.S. and the…

An Analysis of 'Ban the Box' Policies through the Prism of Merton's Theory of Unintended Consequences of Purposive Social Action
After decades of 'tough on crime' policies, the number of ex-offenders in the USA has increased dramatically. Felony convictions limit ex-offenders' opportunities in the labor market. In an effort to reduce these barriers, many US jurisdictions have implemented closed records policies such as 'ban the box.' By limiting employers' access to applicants' criminal history records, these policies attempt to eliminate the discrimination that qualified …

Exploring the impact of correctional facility tours on the perceptions of undergraduate criminal justice students
Students’ negative perceptions of inmates are a challenging aspect of teaching criminal justice. Scholars suggest exposing students to the criminal justice system may provide a realistic approach to understanding offenders. Prison tours have become a viable solution for instructors who want to create such exposure, but contrasting perspectives on the impact of prison tours on students’ learning are present in research. Drawing upon theories of ex…
