Sex Matters
Research finds that individuals of dark complexions are more likely to face prejudice or be discriminated against in a variety of contexts. Referred to as colorism, skin-tone-based discrimination has major implications for various life outcomes. Research on social interactions suggests that lighter skin tones are associated with a higher level of physical attractiveness, which is of particular interest for this study. This study uses quantitative…
The impact of correctional officer gender on prison suicide
Correctional officers are critical members of the prison community. However, scholarship rarely considers how correctional officers contribute to prison outcomes instead largely focusing on importation (individual) and deprivation (organizational) factors related to the incarcerated population. This is also true regarding how scholars and practitioners approach suicide committed by incarcerated people, one of the leading causes of death in US car…
Blacks Can’t Jump”
This study demonstrates that racially disparate fare evasion citation outcomes are the product of racialized social systems that allow transit police officers to determine the belongingness of Black riders in systems of mass transit. Using citation data from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, we test the impact of race and place attributes on transit officer decisions to allocate punishment for subway fare evasion using mixed eff…
It Could Be Us
Racial disparities in tenure and promotion outcomes are well known in the existing research literature. Scholarship establishes that Black and Brown faculty experience unique challenges when navigating the tenure and promotion process, such as lack of diverse mentorship, biased student/peer evaluations, and disproportionately high service demands. However, the public has entered this discourse due to recent media attention involving the tenure ca…
Fucked up”
This study examines how students across races and skin tones perceive the U.S. criminal justice system by analyzing interview data from 100 undergraduate and graduate students across the United States. Results demonstrate the complexity of student perceptions as well as the role that race, skin tone, and gender play in these perceptions. Specifically, students view the criminal justice system as functional, flawed, and “fucked,” expressing differ…
Race and Rationality
Although scholarship challenges the idea that individuals are completely rational, rationality remains a driving explanation of offender decision-making. For example, the journey to crime literature relies on offender rationale to explain where individuals purchase illicit drugs. However, the assumption that individual rationality is homogenous does not explain aggregate disparities that exist between Black and white offenders purchasing illegal …
Building Bridges
Recent reports of police shootings and urban unrest have increased public awareness of the nonwhite experience in communities long plagued by disadvantage and racial inequality. Given current times, there is little research that examines how community residents maintain social ties and trust. Race relations literature finds that support and trust come from “old heads,” community residents who have a reputation of respect and serve as mentors. Alt…
