Racialized feedback and social welfare receipt: Disentangling duration and dollar amount mechanisms on policy feedback effects
This paper examines how the resources associated with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and the Unemployment Insurance program affect political participation. The research on policy feedback on mass publics has produce greater results relative to research on feedback and political participation. However, prior research has not disaggregated resource feedback effects thoroughly enou…
A Political Economy of Justice
Faith, Race, and Immigration: Assessing the Effect of Religiosity on Racial Beliefs and Attitudes
How much, if at all, does religiosity influences racist and xenophobic beliefs? Evangelical support for bigoted and xenophobic policies is not a new phenomenon. Yet, despite the abundant scholarship on religiosity and race, we know little about the mechanisms through which scholars posit we are observing these negative outcomes. Namely, does religiosity affect support for bigoted and xenophobic attitudes? Alternatively, are demographics and belie…
State Incarceration Policy in the U.S. Federal System: Assessing Recent Approaches to Reducing Incarceration Rates
Although scholarship analyzing U.S. incarceration policy generally focuses on the federal government and federal criminal justice laws, state and local governments are principally responsible for the criminal justice strategy and tactics utilized within their jurisdictions, and that determines the size of state correctional populations. The overwhelming majority of the total U.S. prison population is under the jurisdiction of state correctional a…
The Politics of Racial Abjection
Building on the theoretical frameworks of both Charles Mills and Juliet Hooker I center race within abjection theory to demonstrate how the lack of concern about the pain and suffering of racial minorities is a link between critical race and abjection theory. The central problematic of this paper is racial abjection—how race creates an altered conceptualization of abjection and what this means for Blacks within the polis. Racial abjection is a po…
Predation in State and Nation
U.S. criminal justice policies have created the uniquely American style of mass incarceration. Since 1973, America has seen a sustained and substantial rise in its incarcerated population and the formation of a carceral state. Currently, the United States imprisons 2.23 million people, which amounts to 23% of the world’s total incarcerated population. The most important takeaway is that the carceral state is an institution of predation, and preda…
Feeling Politics: Carceral Contact, Well‐Being, and Participation
How do criminal justice interactions affect political participation and through what mechanisms? In this new era of criminal justice expansion, the number of people who have had interactions and who will interact with the criminal justice system has increased significantly. Notwithstanding the abundant scholarship detailing the expansion of the carceral state, the subsequent increases in carceral contact, and the negative externalities of punitiv…
Testing Mechanisms: Carceral Contact and Political Participation
Objectives This article tests two of the mechanisms—civic duty and governmental trust—through which carceral contact is theorized to be affecting political participation. This article does not examine whether criminal justice contact affects participation, but rather tests the mechanisms through which carceral contact is theorized to be affecting participation. Methods I employ the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and the National Longi…
Are Majority Minority Districts Too Safe: A Look at the Alabama State Legislature
How does gerrymandering affect intraparty and interparty electoral competition in state legislatures? Research has shown that electoral competition produces better representation and that descriptive representation positively affects substantive representation or policy outcomes. However, other studies have found an ever increasing incumbency advantage. I argue that the incumbency advantage within Majority Minority Districts is significant and di…
