Locked Out of the Labor Market? State-Level Hidden Sentences and the Labor Market Outcomes of Recently Incarcerated Young Adults
Cody Warner a, Joshua Kaiser b, Jason N. Houle c, Locked Out of the Labor Market? State-Level Hidden Sentences and the Labor Market Outcomes of Recently Incarcerated Young Adults, RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, Vol. 6, No. 1, The Criminal Justice System as a Labor Market Institution (March 2020), pp. 132-151
Criminal Justice Contact and Indebtedness in Young Adulthood
Contact with the American criminal justice system is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage and financial insecurity, but little research has explored the link between criminal justice contact and indebtedness. In this study, we ask whether contact in young adulthood is associated with access to credit and unsecured debt burdens. We also focus on state-level policies that operate alongside official punishments and restrict citizenship and soc…
Crimes of Terror, Counterterrorism, and the Unanticipated Consequences of a Militarized Incapacitation Strategy in Iraq
OIN," the counter-terrorism doctrine the United States used during the Iraq War, was in criminological terms overly reliant on militarized "incapacitationist" strategies. Based a on competing "societal reactions" or community-level labeling theory, we argue that COIN failed to anticipate but predictably produced state-based "legal cynicism" in Arab Sunni communities-increasing rather than decreasing politically defiant terrorist crimes. We test o…
Beyond Punishment
This article investigates the involvement of the penal state in the lives of criminalized people as a controlling force that takes multiple forms. We offer the concept of modalities of penal control and identify three such modalities in addition to expressive punishment: interventionist penal control is accomplished in extralegal ways; covert penal control is hidden from public view; and negligent penal control is characterized by the absence of …
The Theory of Legal Cynicism and Sunni Insurgent Violence in Post-Invasion Iraq
We elaborate a cultural framing theory of legal cynicism-previously used to account for neighborhood variation in Chicago homicides-to explain Arab Sunni victimization and insurgent attacks during the U.S. post-invasion occupation of Iraq. Legal cynicism theory has an unrecognized power to explain collective and interpersonal violence in international as well as U.S. settings. We expand on how "double and linked" roles of state and non-state acto…
D arfur
Darfur is the western region of the Sudan, best known for the 2003 genocide, which continues to the present. Darfurian ethnoracial identities are especially notable because they exist among groups that share similar phenotypes, which makes the case exemplary in discussions of the social construction of race, ethnicity, and other group identities. The history that lies behind genocide in this region is a complex mix of colonialism, conflict over r…
Iraq and the Crimes of Aggressive War
From the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib to unnecessary military attacks on civilians, this book is an account of the violations of international criminal law committed during the United States invasion of Iraq. Taking stock of the entire war, it uniquely documents the overestimation of the successes and underestimation of the failings of the Surge and Awakening policies. The authors show how an initial cynical framing of the American war led …
Neighborhood Sectarian Displacement and the Battle for Baghdad
We use two unique Iraq data sets to show how fear and uncertainty served to motivate the self‐fulfilling, neighborhood‐specific forces that followed the U.S.‐led invasion of Iraq. Sectarian criminal violence by armed Shia and Sunni organizations created a situation of ethnic/religious cleansing that reconfigured much of Baghdad. The article focuses on the case of how one particularly violent group, the Mahdi Army, mobilized through the coercive e…
Gendered Genocide
Accounts of mass atrocities habitually focus on one kind of violence and its archetypal victim, inviting uncritical, ungendered misconceptions: for example, rape only impacts women; genocide is only about dead, battle-aged men. We approach collective violence as multiple, intersecting forms of victimization, targeted and experienced through differential social identities, and translated throughout communities. Through mixed-method analyses of Dar…
Forms of genocidal destruction
The displaced and dispossessed of Darfur
The millions of survivors who fled from attacks to Sudanese-controlled displacement camps and the refugee camps in Chad are the living ghosts of the Darfur genocide. The 1948 Genocide Convention incorporates extermination by mass killing and elimination through forced migration as two distinct elements of genocide. Genocide scholars and public discourse emphasize extermination by killing, but they give far less explanatory attention to the elimin…
