Perceived Latino Threat and Punitive Border Control Sentiment
The conflation of Latino population growth with immigration has led scholars to argue that support for immigration control may reflect broader concerns about Latino population growth and influence, regardless of immigration status. While research has documented a link between Latino context and anti-immigrant preferences, it has yet to explain the threat mechanisms facilitating this link. Using data from a Southwestern university (N = 249), this …
Race, Health, and Recidivism
Health research has established that there exist significant and consistent racial disparities in health outcomes, access to healthcare, and scope and quality of healthcare. An unresolved question is whether there are different pathways between health and recidivism for White versus Black individuals who were formerly incarcerated (IFI). Using the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) data, we find that for both Black and White …
Racial Politics in the Contemporary Prison Society
Prior research documents race and ethnicity as central to how individuals navigate the social and physical space of prisons. Racial segregation persists as a feature of prison life, and in navigating this racialized structure, racial groups construct and enforce a set of racialized norms to govern behavior (i.e., the “racial code”) that reinforce and reify prison racial politics. These processes, however, have remained largely descriptive in natu…
Solitary confinement and the well-being of people in prison
The development and validation of a multidimensional scale of perceived Latino threat
Perceived threat is a central feature of theories of intergroup behaviour, such as the minority threat perspective. Studies have linked perceptions of Latinos as threatening the interests of Whites to Whites’ support for more punitive policies in the U.S., especially in areas experiencing a recent growth in the Latino population. This research, however, is limited in that researchers rarely measure perceptions of Latino threat directly and have y…
Treating the Seriously Mentally Ill in Prison
The management and care of inmates with mental health needs creates immense strain for correctional administrators and staff—leaving questions surrounding the best way to treat and house those with especially acute mental health needs. At the same time, those with mental illness experience a number of disproportionately adverse outcomes while incarcerated. This study evaluates a contingency management program aimed at treating seriously mentally …
