Whom and when to deport and punish
Across many immigrant destination countries, recent immigration law enforcement has expanded in scope and salience, intensifying public debate over deportation, criminal punishment, and the treatment of immigrants in the criminal legal system. Drawing on focal concerns theory, the current study uses the U.S. as an empirical case and a 4 (country of origin: Syria, China, Russia, or Mexico) × 2 (crime severity: felony drug offense or misdemeanor tr…
Guiding Cases and the Death Penalty in the Chinese Mainland
China is reportedly the country that carries out the most executions worldwide, yet the lack of reliable data hinders the understanding of capital punishment in the Chinese Mainland. This study explores the role of guiding cases—judicial and prosecutorial decisions selected by China’s highest court and procuratorate to promote consistency and fairness—in the application of the death penalty. We first introduce guiding cases, their binding effects…
Public Support for Drug Courts
This study is the first to assess public support for drug courts as a “third chance,” referring to an additional opportunity, beyond the initial and second chances, to receive rehabilitative support. We first used a survey experiment to investigate how offense characteristics and criminal records affected people’s initial support for drug courts. We then examined whether support persisted after the initial treatment had failed. Results showed str…
Measuring State-Level Death Penalty Opinion
This study compares two approaches to estimating state-level death penalty opinion. One of these, survey pooling, is relatively simple, and the other, multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) is considerably more involved. Using General Social Survey (GSS) geocoded data, we estimate state-level support for the death penalty using survey pooling and MRP. The estimates are then compared with available probability-based state-level polls.…

In 2019, New York State passed bail reform legislation that limited the use of money bail and expanded pretrial release. The bail reform law took effect on January 1, 2020. We evaluated the effect of this law on crime rates in New York State. Interrupted time series analyses (ITSA) were used to examine whether the bail reform was significantly associated with a crime increase. When a significant association was detected, we examined whether this …
