  • Examining the Role of Meaningful Work for Desistance Among Justice-Involved Emerging Adults

    Open AccessMadeline Steward, Maia L Ferry et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2026

    Employment has long been recognized as an important turning point for facilitating the desistance process among young people. Criminologists, however, often theorize and operationalize employment in a binary nature: having a job or not. Evidence from the field of emerging adulthood has recognized that the socio-structural shifts in society for Millennials and Generation Z have changed how employment functions in the transition to adulthood, which…

  • Examining the relationship between officer work assignments and retention

    Elias Nader, Bradley J O’Guinn et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2025

    Officer retention has become a pressing issue in modern policing as voluntary resignations reach unprecedented levels. Police agencies continue to face challenges recruiting new personnel, a difficulty compounded by the impending retirements of the Baby Boomer generation. Despite the increased risk of officer separation during the initial years of employment, few scholars have explored the factors linked to officer retention during this period. I…

  • Reconceptualizing Social Bonds for Emerging Adults

    Open AccessElias Nader, A Davies RobinsonARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2023

    Social bond theory argues that weak bonds (e.g., relationships, values, activities) with society facilitate engagement in crime and deviance. As these bonds are strengthened, young people grow out of deviance and into prosocial adulthood roles. Social bond theory has four classic components: Attachment, Commitment, Involvement, and Belief. While these components are significant for adolescents and youth, research has yet to examine how social bon…

  • Murder on Maneuver

    Open AccessNeil D Shortland, Elias Nader et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2019Cited by: 2References: 2

    Green-on-blue attacks have a devastating psychological, tactical, and operational effect on military operations in Afghanistan. In spite of this, no empirical research has offered a data-driven examination of these attacks, leaving a gap that this article aims to address. By analyzing a large (yet inevitability incomplete) open-source database developed on these attacks, we present data on the perpetrators and victims of these attacks. We also in…

  • Recounting the Dead

    Open AccessNeil D Shortland, Huseyin Sarı et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2019Cited by: 7References: 4

    In wars fought against insurgents, civilian casualties present the challenging dilemma of balancing security and stability while targeting insurgents who operate within the civilian population. In Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has made minimizing civilian casualties a top-tier strategic issue. Yet beyond annual reports, there has been a lack of data-driven analysis into the number of civilians killed by ISAF oper…
