Getting in, but getting through? A 20-year national examination of the representation and success of women in the police academy
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Research Summary Using secondary data from a census of 421 police academies nationwide continuously operating between 2002 and 2018, we assessed continuity and change in core areas of basic law enforcement training (BLET) of new police hires. Despite decades of concerns expressed by national‐level commissions, scholars, and practitioners about the substance of police academy basic training, ours is the first study since the 1980s that examines th…
Systemic effects of Covid‐19 policy changes on drug availability in prison
Drugs in prison can have serious consequences for prisoners, staff, and communities. In this study, we employed a natural experimental design to assess the systemic effects of the policy changes introduced by the Oregon Department of Corrections in March 2020 to slow the spread of coronavirus‐2019 (COVID‐19) on the measures of drug use and misconduct (e.g., suspended visits, precluded nonsecurity staff from entering facilities, stopped prisoner w…

A latent class analysis of non-suicidal self-injury and associations with constructs from the interpersonal theory of suicide in a sample of sexual minority young adults
Introduction: Self-directed violence (SDV), comprising both non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide, is elevated among sexual minority populations. NSSI age of onset has been shown to impact severity of SDV outcomes. Components of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (ITS), which includes perceived burdensomeness (PB), thwarted belongingness (TB), and acquired capability for suicide (ACS), may be useful to understanding NSSI subgroups, especia…
Entrapment and Defeat Scales
Entrapment and defeat are empirically-supported suicide risk factors. Their measurement is the subject of some debate, however. Also, limited work exists examining sexual and gender minority (SGM) differences in these suicide risk factors despite overall elevated rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) for SGM persons. The present study examined (1) entrapment and defeat differences by sexual orientation and gender identity, (2) factor st…
Cyberstalking Victims’ Experiences With Fear Versus Other Emotional Responses to Repeated Online Pursuit
This study empirically examines situational and personal characteristics associated with victims’ responses to cyberstalking. In the context of these responses, there has been much debate regarding the “fear standard,” which requires victims or reasonable persons to feel fearful as a result of stalking. To examine victim responses to cyberstalking, survey data were collected from 880 young adults in the U.S. who were repeatedly pursued online (cy…
A psychometric evaluation of the Life Attitudes Schedule-Short Form
The Life Attitudes Schedule-Short Form (LAS-SF) is a measure of suicide proneness featuring various conceptual models. We tested four competing LAS-SF factor structures, as well as construct validity with mental health and suicide metrics. Community dwelling adults ( N = 488) completed an online cross-sectional survey. Results supported a four factor (i.e., death-related, health-related, injury-related, and self-related subscales) LAS-SF structur…
Typologies of hate-motivated behavior
Hate-motivated behavior (HMB) comprises a problem for public health and criminal justice systems. The present study contributes to current science of HMB by examining (1) potential typology replication and extension and (2) demographic and attitudinal correlates of HMB subtypes. The present study was a secondary analysis of an online survey study of discriminatory behavior and well-being. Participants were adults living in the United States ( N =…
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Hate-Motivated Behavior Checklist (HMBC)
Hate-motivated behavior (HMB) in criminal and noncriminal forms is a public health dilemma. This study is an advanced measurement of the perpetration of HMB through development of the Hate-Motivated Behavior Checklist (HMBC). Through a cross-sectional online-administered survey of adults ( N = 289), we examined: (a) factor structure and internal consistency of HMBC behaviors, (b) descriptive patterns of targeted groups and motivations for HMB, an…
Sexual violence victimization and suicide
Sexual violence victimization is a prevalent public health concern. However, little research has investigated the factors linking sexual violence victimization to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). The current study tested the applicability of the psychological mediation framework, a coping‐mental health model, for the prevention of STBs among victims of sexual youviolence. Furthermore, the current study explored whether sexual orientation m…

Chapter 8. Using Geographic Information Systems to Study Race, Crime, and Policing
This chapter discusses how geographic information systems (GIS) have become indispensable in the study of policing. It describes the history of recognizing the importance of place and crime, arguing that GIS is a natural progression of that historical body of work, particularly in the study of race/ethnicity, bias, and policing. It also provides a brief tutorial on how to create and use maps with different types of software, and presents examples…
Applying Crime Pattern Theory and Risk Terrain Modeling to Examine Environmental Crime in Cambodia
The spatial-temporal analysis of crime has significantly evolved. One innovative technique recently developed is risk terrain modeling (RTM). RTM, however, has yet to be used for environmental crime. This research applies RTM and draws from crime pattern theory to examine illegal activities in two protected areas in Cambodia. Findings suggest that pathways, edges, areas with suitable targets, conservation posts, landcover, and prior incidents are…
Mixing Shots
Although the literature presents many studies generally relating gun ownership and the use of intoxicants to unfavorable outcomes, few studies have explored deviance in the form of negligent firearm use. This study explores firearm usage while under the influence of alcohol and/or marijuana utilizing self-report data from a random sample of 2,349 students. Findings indicate males, those closest to the minimum legal drinking age, individuals with …
The Direction of Violence Against Women Research and Evaluation
Although researchers have made numerous advances in the understanding of the nature, extent, and dynamics of violence against women (VAW), there is an ever-increasing need for data used in academic research and within policy decision-making to be collected via rigorous methodological designs to accurately measure the incidence and impact of VAW. What is now needed are research collaborations within an interdisciplinary research cluster that will …
The intersection of interpersonal and self-directed violence among general adult, college student and sexually diverse samples
BACKGROUND: Suicide and interpersonal violence (i.e. victimization and perpetration) represent pressing public health problems, and yet remain mostly addressed as separate topics. AIMS: To identify the (1) frequency and overlap of suicide and interpersonal violence and (2) characteristics differentiating subgroups of violence-related experiences. METHODS: A health survey was completed by 2,175 respondents comprised of three groups: college studen…

Is Cyberbullying a Stand Alone Construct? Using Quantitative Analysis to Evaluate a 21st Century Social Question
Using a subsample of the 2009 National Crime Victimization Survey, School Crime Supplement (NCVS-SCS), the present study explores the nature of the relationship between cyberbullying and traditional bullying victimization among students aged 12–18. One question of particular interest in the recent cyberbullying literature regards the classification of cyberbullying relative to traditional school yard bullying. As is the case in the cyber victimiz…
Understanding Female Gun Ownership
This research examines female gun ownership trends from 1973 to 2010. Nationally representative General Social Survey data are used to compare rates for male and female gun ownership. In light of the specific marketing trends by gun manufacturers beginning in the mid-1990s as well as previous findings within the literature, we test (a) whether an increase in female gun ownership is observed from 1973 to 2010, (b) whether female gun owners report …
What patient and psychologist characteristics are important in competency for physician-assisted suicide evaluations
The practice of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is currently legal in Oregon (Oregon Death With Dignity Act, 1995), Washington (Washington Death With Dignity Act, 2008), and Montana (Baxter v. Montana, 2009). In an effort to identify important characteristics of patients and clinicians involved in evaluations of competence to request PAS, 216 licensed psychologists from Oregon and Montana were surveyed regarding their attitudes toward PAS and th…
Guns and Crime
The relationship between guns and crime occupies a special place among the most emotionally charged and divisive issues in American public discourse. Amid the political debate and rhetoric, it is very challenging to identify sound empirical evidence from criminology or any other field that supports a clear consensus on precisely how guns impact crime. The available research suggests two basic theoretical frameworks may be useful for understanding…
Student Attitudes Toward Concealed Handguns on Campus at 2 Universities
We examined student support for a policy that would allow carrying of concealed handguns on university campuses. Large percentages of students at 2 universities expressed very low levels of comfort with the idea of permitting concealed handgun carrying on campus, suggesting that students may not welcome less restrictive policies. Students held slightly different opinions about concealed handguns on and off campus, suggesting that they view the ca…
Protection Against Pursuit
Cyberstalking is a relatively understudied area in criminology, with no consensus among scholars as to whether it represents a modified form of stalking or whether it is an entirely new and emerging criminal phenomenon. Using data from the 2006 Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), this study compares stalking and cyberstalking victims across several dimensions, including situational features o…

Differences Across Majors in the Desire to Obtain a License to Carry a Concealed Handgun on Campus
The current study examines whether students' course of study is related to their desire to carry a concealed handgun on campus. This analysis is motivated by a growing number of studies that have explored differences between criminal justice (CJ) and other majors in the areas of personality, attitudes, values, and career expectations, and also by discussions of the issue of concealed handguns on campuses following recent shootings on college camp…
