Results from ordinary least squares analysis revealed significant contributions from three dimension…
The Association of Organizational Justice with Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment among Nigerian Correctional Staff
Correctional staff are a necessary and valuable resource for correctional institutions, in both Western and Nonwestern nations; however, studies of correctional staff in Nonwestern nations, particularly those in Africa, are lacking. Improving the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of these staff are imperative, as both of these job attitudes have been linked to many salient beneficial outcomes. Most of the existing empirical research …
The Causes and Pervasiveness of DMC
This study explores perceptions and awareness of disproportionate minority contact (DMC) by stakeholders in juvenile justice, youth-serving community organizations, schools, social services, and the faith community. This study is derived from a statewide assessment, which included in-person interviews with individuals that have personal and professional relationships within the juvenile justice system. Findings support the contention that individ…
Sound of the Penis
Urethral insertion – colloquially referred to as sounding – has primarily been restricted to case and quantitative studies within the medical literature, thereby reinforcing a stigma element to sounding. In qualitative in-depth interviews with non-heterosexual males who engage in sounding, respondents report a pathway into sounding. A dissolved relationship was the catalyst to engage in sounding among a repertoire of sexually variant activities, …
The Tellability of Police Use-of-force
Critical incidents involving police use-of-force brings forth external critique to the police institution and to police officers. Building on previous research on ideas of emotions and tellability, the present paper examines the role of police storytelling of critical incidents in different spaces. Stories of critical incidents told by police focus on reinforcing the police’s singular right to use force and to interpret use-of-force events. Howev…
It's More than Just a Big Dick
The scholarly literature is replete with studies of female prostitutes, their customers, prostitution dynamics, and understandings of the how, where, when, how much, and why of such interactions. However, male escorts is lacking. Based on content analysis of the online reviews of 627 male escorts, this study examines the experiences and perspectives of men who locate, contact, and purchase the time and services of male escorts. Findings reveal th…

Minimal research exists regarding the relationship between rape myth acceptance and religion. This study assessed rape myth acceptance of 503 university students’ disaggregated by five religious identities from 21 Division I postsecondary institutions. Except for Presbyterians, females disagree with rape myths at greater levels than males. Religiosity is a non-predictor for rape myth acceptance after controlling for students’ demographic and life…
Male Escorts' Construction of the Boyfriend Experience
The current study examines the ways that male escorts provide highly desired services for male clients. Building on the “girlfriend experience” identified in the female prostitution literature, the authors discuss the corollary experience of the “boyfriend experience” and identify and examine the components of the boyfriend experience that are central to the social construction of the experience. Data is drawn from 627 online reviews of male esco…
Sexual Deviance
Sexual deviance, and what is defined as sexually deviant, is culturally and historically specific. This concept refers to behaviors where individuals seek erotic gratification through means that are considered odd, different, or unacceptable to either most or influential persons in one's community. As with most forms of deviance, sexual deviance is something that is defined differently by persons of different backgrounds, beliefs, morals, and loc…

Inmate Responses to Correctional Officer Deviance
The relationship between correctional officers (COs) and prisoners is dynamic and bounded by a unique context. COs engage in numerous sanctioned and unsanctioned behaviors within their correctional institution. The latter actions are typically referred to as deviant behavior. COs’ deviance can have a debilitating effect not only on other officers, correctional workers, the administration, but also inmates and the institution as a whole. This arti…
Working the Stroll
Prostitution is one of the most publicly recognized crimes, yet one which we have limited information. Particularly, we have little knowledge of male prostitution and not much information on the locations of sexual transactions. This study fills a void in the research as we apply journey to crime theory to the question of “where” as it applies to male prostitution. Data gathered from Chicago calculate the distance traveled and arrest location for…
Publishing Qualitative Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals
The methodological orientation of criminology and criminal justice journals is overwhelmingly quantitative. In fact, only between 5 and 10% of articles published in CCJ journals rely on qualitative methods. Fortunately, this trend seems to be changing within the discipline, which will encourage more scholars to seek to publish qualitative research. Our aim is to offer practical suggestions on how to best structure, write, and format manuscripts b…
Bestiality
Individuals who experience sexual and emotional attractions to animals are widely considered deviant in American society. Such a condition is frequently referred to as bestiality and zoophilia, which in fact describe two separate types of sexual behaviors. A multitude of studies have uncovered a range of prevalence rates across different demographic groups, which may vary due to the terminology and the type of data collection methods utilized. Do…
Breaking Out of Prison and into Print? Rationales and Strategies to Assist Educated Convicts Conduct Scholarly Research and Writing Behind Bars
Goffman, Erving
Erving Goffman was a sociologist who introduced and advanced the social perspective known as the dramaturgical perspective. Based on the analogy of all social interactions being like a staged performance, he emphasized the ways that persons act differently in front of different audiences, interpret their own and others' behaviors as performances, and understand themselves to have differently known identities across different groups of others.
Organized Crime Theories
Explanations for organized crime include theories that focus on ethnic group solidarity and culture, attempts by marginalized social groups to improve their social and economic standing, and traditional theories used to explain crime in general. Six theories are most commonly used to attempt to explain organized crime: alien conspiracy theory, rational choice theory, differential association, social disorganization and relative deprivation approa…

Predicting Risks of Larceny Theft Victimization
Routine activity theory has long been plagued by a heavy reliance on proxy measures of lifestyles, which typically include demographic variables that are regularly used as measures of lifestyle and behavior. This reliance on indirect measures forces researchers to suppose how and why these indicators are related to victimization risks. Using detailed measurements of activities and specific structural aspects of communities is clearly more desirab…
Coming Out and Crossing Over
Drawing on data from interviews with 65 masculine-to-feminine transgenderists, the authors examine the coming-out experiences of transgendered individuals. Drawing on the literature that shows gender to be an inherent component of the social infrastructure that at an individual level is accomplished in interaction with others, they demonstrate that interactional challenges to gender are insufficient to challenge the system of gender. Whereas many…

Bareback sex and the quest for HIV
Technological changes have led to the development of numerous niche markets for personal ads. Included is the market of men seeking men for bareback (i.e., unprotected) sex. Both common assumptions and the scant literature suggest these men are actively seeking HIV infection. This research assesses a sample of Internet personal ads in order to identify a profile of barebackers and to determine whether barebackers are actively seeking HIV infectio…

Perceptions of Sex Offender Registration
In the mid-1990s, the Jacob Wetterling Act and Megan's Law were passed, respectively, formalizing the practice of registering sex offenders in publicly accessible, state-wide databases. The laws were passed in an effort to prevent recidivism of sex offenders and to promote community awareness of convicted sex offenders living in communities. However, the creation of these registries have led to numerous unforeseen collateral consequences for offe…

Gender construction and the female impersonator
Traditional definitions of gender focused on static, discreet, categorical distinctions that were assumed to be products of sex. These formulations, however, have inhibited the understanding of the relationship between gender and social structure. This paper examines the social construction of gender by focusing on how professional female impersonators transform themselves from man to woman. Relying on interviews with 10 professional female imper…

Motivations for postsecondary correctional educators
Previous correctional education research focuses on assessing impacts on recidivism, on outlines of program structures, and on investigating effects on inmate-students' psychosocial functioning. As the foundation for the development of a fourth field of inquiry—the examination of experiences for those who deliver prison-based education—this paper discusses the motivations that lead correctional educators to work in postsecondary correctional educ…
Peep Shows and “Perverts”
Men performing as women
Female impersonation, the public presentation of a feminine appearance, mannerisms, and character by males, is a neglected, but informative, area of inquiry for gender theorists. This paper examines the experiences and identities of a sample of professional female impersonators. Using data from semistructured interviews, the virtual (externally imposed) and actual (internally constructed) social identities of such men are analyzed. Reliance on im…
“Speaking of someone with Aids….”
Labels are central components to the social construction of identity, especially for persons who live with stigmas. However, labels and the consequences of labels are within the scope of influence for those to whom they are attached. Labels and identities can be socially managed by individuals by way of manipulation of language. This paper examines the ways that persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease construct and manage v…

Specifying the role of alcohol in predatory victimization
Alcohol's role in violent and predatory crime is a subject of frequent study among scholars. Generally, research finds that as alcohol consumption increases, so does the likelihood of suffering a personal attack. However, it is not just the act of drinking that increases the likelihood of violent behavior or the risk of victimization. Contextual factors are also presumed to be important. Lasley's (1989) research has elaborated on how drinking beh…
