Access to jeopardy
Research on the shadow carceral state identifies new species of criminal-civil and civil-criminal legal hybrids embedded in state law. We bring into conversation disparate literatures on growing family complexity, monetary sanctions, justiciable problems, and child support enforcement to examine how contemporary American families experience a system of double and triple jeopardy—the compounding risks of exposure to both criminal and civil debts a…
Beyond the Penal Code
Knowledge about legal financial obligations in American punishment has been largely confined to criminal law and the penal codes of a few states. Yet in the nation’s most populous state, California, there is reason to believe that a wider expanse of law beyond the penal code harbors the legal capacity to impose monetary punishments and indebtedness. A legal census of the entire corpus of California’s civil and criminal statutory law identifies th…
Why Prison? A Ruby Jubilee Reading of The Prison and the Factory
Aligning sampling and case selection in quantitative-qualitative research designs
Quantitative researchers increasingly draw on ethnographic research that may not be generalizable to inform and interpret results from statistical analyses; at the same time, while generalizability is not always an ethnographic research goal, the integration of quantitative data by ethnographic researchers to buttress findings on processes and mechanisms has also become common. Despite the burgeoning use of dual designs in research, there has bee…
The Problem of 'Cameo Appearances' in Mixed-methods Research
Amid ongoing controversies in ethnography concerning representation, reproducibility, and generalizability, social scientific scholarship has increasingly taken a mixed-methods turn. While studies that blend qualitative and quantitative data promise to enhance the validity of representations of social worlds under analysis, they cannot escape contending with foundational dilemmas of scientific translation, integration, and commensurability across…
The Imprisonment Boom of the Late Twentieth Century
This essay reviews trends since the early 1980s in the number of inmates confined in American prisons as well as possible factors contributing to the massive increase in prison admissions (ranging from highly functionalist structural accounts to more culturally embedded midrange ones). Defining features of the late twentieth century imprisonment boom are discussed, encompassing global notoriety; persistent racial disparities; the role of felony d…
A Turning Point in Mass Incarceration? Local Imprisonment Trajectories and Decarceration under California's Realignment
Mass incarceration is commonly understood as a sweeping national policy development, which has obscured remarkable local variation at the policy implementation stage. California's "Realignment" (Assembly Bill [AB] 109; 2011) is a reform that exploits this variation by design. Research consistently finds that, net of crime, demographic, political, and system capacity characteristics explain the variation in incarceration across local jurisdictions…
The Law-Before
This article introduces thelaw-beforeas an analytic tool for enhancing explanations of legal reform. Based on an integration of neo-institutional law and organizations studies and punishment studies of local variation in penal policy, I define thelaw-beforeas the past organizational practices and power arrangements that precede law-on-the-books and shape present day implementation. I utilize thelaw-beforeas a heuristic to investigate the legacy e…
