Do the Crime, Do the Time: Juvenile Criminals and Adult Justice in the American Court System
For more than 20 years now, the attitude in some jurisdictions has been “if you’re old enough to do the crime, you’re old enough to do the time.” After two decades of applying this increasingly punitive mindset to juvenile offenders, it is possible to see the actual consequences of transferring more and younger offenders to adult courts. In Do the Crime, Do the Time: Juvenile Criminals and Adult Justice in the American Court System, the authors a…
The Impact of Indian Gaming on Crime in New Mexico: A Research Note
The complexity of the relationship between gambling and crime make empirical establishment of a relationship between the two difficult. Focusing on one state, we examine the impact of Indian gaming on crime in New Mexico. Specific crime rates in New Mexico counties with tribal gaming are discussed. Comparisons of the rates of specific crimes are made between New Mexico counties with tribal gaming and those without. NotesAn earlier version of this…

Intergovernmental Relations and Native American Gaming: A Case Study on the Emergence of a New Intergovernmental Relations Participant
Models of intergovernmental relations (IGR) are consistently built around the triumvirate of national, state, and local governments. Lacking in various conceptualizations is due consideration for the hundreds of tribal governments found scattered throughout the United States. Although the status of Indians in the U.S. federal system has always been something of an enigma, the emergence of Indian gaming, and its associated high economic and politi…

Service v. Security Focus in Training Assessments: Testing Gender Differences Among Women's Jail Correctional Officers
As jails have moved to professionalize their staffs the role of the correctional officer has become broader in scope and now encompasses both service and security functions. However, some research suggests that female correctional staff may have more of a “service” orientation than males. In our analysis of one dataset from exclusively women's jail facilities we investigate correctional officer preferences for training (service v. security) to se…
The Children's Code Reform Movement in New Mexico: The Politics of Expediency
Like many states, New Mexico has experienced a “get‐tough” movement in regard to the handling of juvenile offenders. In 1993 the state formulated a major revision of ̃the ̃Children's Code, and this revision did a variety of things. Among the changes incorporated into the Children's Code revision was a movement from essentially one category of offenders ‐ delinquent children – with provisions for transferring certain serious offenders to adult cou…
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) evidence and criminal trials: An exploratory survey of factors associated with the use of “genetic fingerprinting” in felony prosecutions
Social Learning Theory, Self-Reported Delinquency, and Youth Gangs: A New Twist on a General Theory of Crime and Delinquency
Social learning theory has been applied to a wide variety of criminal, delinquent, and deviant behavior. The current study examines the utility of applying selected elements of the theory to the examination of youth gangs. The subjects consist of a stratified random sample of male and female 9th-grade public school students living in a southwestern state. Following the logic of Akers' variant of social learning theory, we ask the following questi…
Criminal Court Dispositions of Juveniles Tried as Adults in New Mexico: An Exploratory Examination
During the past two decades a great deal of attention has been paid to the ‘get-tough’ movement in regard to juvenile justice processes. One particular manifestation of this more punitive orientation has been the increased emphasis on transferring juveniles to adult court. This paper examines all of the case files still available for juveniles transferred to adult court in New Mexico (N = 49) between the years of 1981 and 1990 in terms of their d…
Transfering Juveniles to Criminal Courts: Trends and Implications for Juvenile Justice
The Impact of State Standards and Enforcement Procedures on Local Jail Performance
One of the recent trends in the field of criminal justice has been the development of state jail standards. The nature of local politics has meant that jails have been among the most poorly funded and operated governmental institutions. The result of decades of neglect is a fertile ground for inmate litigation. The interest shown by the courts, in a variety of operational and procedural areas, has been a key factor in leading many states to assum…
State-local Relations and the American Jail Crisis: An Assessment of State Jail Mandates
Years of neglect, combined with the recent development of a "hands on" judicial policy have resulted in a jail crisis in America. States, recognizing their contribution to this situation, have begun to develop policies designed to assist local jail officials in operating safe, humane, and constitutional facilities. These state efforts are a form o f mandating, and primarily concern minimum operating standards and inspections programs. In this res…

Deadly Force as a Policy Problem in Local Law Enforcement: Do Administrative Practices Make a Difference
This article examines the impact of six administrative practices on the use of deadly force by police officers in American cities with a population greater than 50,000. Generally, departmental policies demonstrate little association with the frequency of shooting incidents per police officer, or in the number of incidents resulting in fatalities or injuries. It does appear that police departments which issue more traditional sidearms tend to expe…
