Violence, Gun Violence, and Mental Illness in a National Sample of Incarcerated Adults
The validity of a link between gun violence and mental illness has been the subject of ongoing research and policy debates. This study compares the burden of mental illness among adults incarcerated for violent versus property offenses as well as for firearm versus non-firearm violence, including lethal and non-lethal acts. The study utilizes the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI) data. Results show that respondents convicted of violent crimes a…
How Subject Gender Shapes the Level and Progression of Police Use of Force
Use-of-force research often includes subject gender as a control, but gender is rarely the primary focus. Adopting a focal concerns perspective, we examined whether (1) officers use more force against male subjects than female subjects; (2) incidents with female subjects progress differently than those with male subjects; and (3) officer gender conditions the effects of subject gender. We analyzed 7,009 force incidents using a multilevel framewor…
School Honor Cultures and Violence: The Role of Cultural Orientation and Dispersion
We examine whether adolescents attending schools with honor-oriented cultures are more likely to engage in violence, net of their own honor attitudes. Studies typically estimate a culture’s strength by averaging the residents’ attitudes, but this cannot adequately account for variation among residents. Recent research in cultural sociology suggests that a culture’s orientation and dispersion are influential. Using data from the Second Internation…
If the Cops Won’t, Maybe a Gang Will: How Self-Help Explains Procedural Justice as a Predictor of Gang Membership
Procedural justice is linked to several outcomes such as conformity. We examine whether the relationship between procedural justice and gang membership can be explained by how much youth believe gangs can protect them. Using data from the Gang Resistance Education and Training evaluation (G.R.E.A.T. II), we use path analysis to examine the effect of procedural justice on gang membership and the mediating role of the perceived protection of gangs.…
How people choose between criminal opportunities
The explanatory power of criminological theories may differ across decision‐making stages because involvement decisions (the choice to become involved in crime) and event decisions (the choice between criminal opportunities) are theoretically distinct. Although our understanding of offender decision‐making has advanced greatly in recent years, event decisions remain understudied. Rational choice theory (RCT) indicates that crime benefits, arrest …

It's Not You, It's Me: Examining the Role of Conflicted Relationships, Mental Illness, and Intimate Partner Violence
Exploring the Relationship Between Stress and Excessive Gaming: The Role of Game Efficacy
Video game overuse, especially among youths, has become a global social concern with diverse adverse consequences. Using data on a sample of Korean adolescents from the Game User Panel, this study aims to enhance our understanding of the connection between stress and excessive gaming by integrating the concept of gaming efficacy. A series of cross-lagged dynamic panel models indicate that academic stress is significantly related to increased game…
Extending a Social Control Framework to Explain the Link between Romantic Relationships and Violent Victimization by Non-Intimate Perpetrators: A Study of Actor and Partner Effects
Victim data reveals that romantic relationships correspond to significant reductions in violent victimizations committed by strangers and acquaintances. This study offers a more detailed exploration of this finding. Specifically, we investigate the effect of relationship quality and structure on victimization risk in combination with mechanisms a social control perspective would suggest as theoretically possible. We also consider the independent …
Are Men Reluctant to Assault Women Even When Intoxicated
Alcohol intoxication leads to anti-normative behavior. Because violence against women is more anti-normative than violence against men, we suggest that the effects of alcohol on violence against women should be stronger. We found support for this hypothesis in an analysis of more than 1,100 interpersonal disputes reported by male prison inmates and male community members. We find that the tendency for men to be more willing to threaten and attack…
Catch and release: Testing the effect of a citation release policy on crime in Washington, DC
Research summary This study investigated the effect of an expanded police station citation release policy enacted in Washington, DC in March 2020 on eight types of crime: homicide, sex abuse, robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft from motor vehicles, and other theft. Monthly‐level multivariate time series analyses employed data from 2013‐2022 and accounted for the relationship between crime, arrests, and t…
Correlates of “white-collar” offending
When men fight with women (versus other men): Limited offending during disputes
What transpires in a dispute, even a violent dispute, is affected by the tendency for adversaries to engage in “limited offending.” We focus on one restraint: the tendency of men to limit their aggression in their disputes with women. Analyses are based on an incident‐level survey about interpersonal disputes administered to 503 men who are incarcerated and 220 men who had never been incarcerated. Using multinomial and logistic regression models,…
Vertical organizations, flat networks: Centrality and criminal collaboration in the Italian-American Mafia
Push and pushback: Control behavior as a precipitant of verbal and violent disputes
We examine to what extent control behavior precipitates disputes involving adversaries in different social relationships. We hypothesize that disputes between intimate partners and illegal business partners are more likely than other disputes to involve control because they involve a higher level of interdependence between the participants. A sample of male inmates ( n = 479) and nonoffenders ( n = 206) were asked whether control behaviors (e.g.,…
Did mass incarceration lead to the disproportionate admission of minorities and marginal offenders
Research Summary We examine the effects of mass incarceration on the admission of minority and marginal (i.e., first‐time) offenders to state prisons. Our analyses are based on six waves of data from the Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities from 1973 to 2004. The results suggest that the era of mass incarceration led to increased incarceration of Hispanic offenders relative to White offenders, but not Black offenders rel…
Taking sides: Gender and third‐party partisanship in disputes
We examine the role of a norm protecting women in understanding third‐party partisanship in verbal and violent disputes. Our analyses are based on reports provided by male inmates and men they know who have never been arrested. The results show that third parties are more likely to support female adversaries than male adversaries. The gender effect is stronger when we control for the relational distance between adversaries, which indicates that a…
