Surviving Parole Reentry: Examining the Impact of Prerelease, Postrelease, and Boundary-Spanning Programs
Do reentry programs including those that are boundary-spanning (operating before and after release from incarceration) help lengthen the time parolees go without being revoked and sent back to prison? In this retrospective study, we examine the impact of three related programs on participants by calculating the length of time they survived without revocation. We considered how long those who participated in only a prerelease program, only a postr…
Rejection, Humiliation, and Parole: A Study of Parolees' Perspectives
Research on status rejection has developed considerably over the past two decades and is applied in a number of different settings to better understand criminal and deviant behavior. Our research contributes to that body of work by examining the ways in which status rejection may create a potentially humiliating dynamic for individuals on parole. Specifically, we use in-depth interviews with parolees to illustrate how the parolee identity can pro…
Parole Reentry and Social Capital: The Centrality of Homelessness
Why are some parolees more successful in reentering society compared to others? Using a social capital theoretical perspective, we explore the central role housing plays in reentry. Seventy-three semistructured personal interviews were conducted with parolees reentering the community. The authors compared and contrasted the experiences of individuals who were released to secure housing with those who were homeless. Having access to housing facili…
On the Way to the Field: Reflections of One Qualitative Criminal Justice Professor's Experiences
In this short essay I attempt to summarize my view of qualitative research and delineate a few of the challenges that qualitative researchers working in the field of criminal justice face. I reflect and draw upon my past research to demonstrate my opportunities and challenges in the hope that others can learn from my experiences and mistakes. While qualitative criminal justice researchers have much to be wary of in terms of institutional review b…

Gang-Related Gun Violence: Socialization, Identity, and Self
Few studies have examined how violent norms are transmitted in street gangs. The purpose of this research is to add to the gang-related literature by examining socialization as the mechanism between street gang membership and violence. To explore this issue, we draw upon in-depth interviews with twenty-two inmates convicted of gang-related gun violence. We find that the gangs are important agents of socialization that help shape a gang member's s…
Retrospective Accounts of Violent Events by Gun Offenders

Qualitative data, based on unstructured, in-depth interviews with 54 former inmates, offer retrospective reflections and current accounts that delineate many of the unintended costs of imprisonment.

Accounts of professional misdeeds: The sexual exploitation of clients by psychotherapists
Sexual intimacy between therapists and clients is explicitly recognized as one of the most serious violations of the professional‐client relationship, subject to both regulatory and administrative penalties and, in several states, criminal sanctions. In this paper we examine the written accounts submitted to the Colorado State Grievance Board by psychotherapists who have had complaints of sexual misconduct filed against them by former clients. We…

The Work Orientations of Jail Personnel: A Comparison of Deputy Sheriffs and Career Line Officers
Based upon interview data from 60 officers in four county jails, this paper examines the differences in the institutional work orientations and experiences of deputy sheriffs and career line correctional officers. We found that both deputy sheriffs and corrections officers felt they received little support from administrators and were treated as second‐class employees. Corrections officers were more likely to emphasize the professionalism of corr…
Humor in the Briefing Room: A Study of the Strategic Uses of Humor Among Police
This article explores the strategic uses of humor in the police organization. Based upon a year-long ethnographic study of one suburban police department, we examine four types of humor characteristics of the work relations among patrol officers: jocular aggression, audience degradation, diffusion of danger/tragedy, and normative neutralization. Humor allows for a wide range of creative expressions by which specific ideas, attitudes, and behavior…
Judicial Intervention and Work Alienation: A Study of Jail Guards
This paper examines the effect of judicial intervention on experiences of work alienation among jail guards. From the viewpoint of the officers, court decisions and mandates have seriously infringed upon their authority, compromising their position vis‐a‐vis inmates and making it more difficult for them to perform their duties. Administrative, operational, and procedural changes are perceived as advancing the welfare of prisoners at the expense o…
Natural deaths and unknown persons: The process of creating identity
This article contributes to the research literature on police discretion by examining how detectives create social identities for unknown deceased persons who died from natural causes. Data for the project were derived from observations of twelve death scene investigations made by three investigators during a six-month period in a large southeastern police department. The overriding finding from the study is that detectives create social identiti…

The Fear of Crime by the Elderly: Issues and Consequences
Most of the recent literature concerning the elderly and crime has been concentrated in the area of victimization. Such subjects as the elderly's vulnerability to crime, types of crimes committed against older members of the community, income level of the victims, and residential indicators, are some of the important variables that have been studied in order to better understand the patterns of crime as it affects older citizens. Although it is b…
