Turning on Their Own: Juvenile Crimes Against Family Members Using NIBRS Data
Purpose Examine the characteristics and prevalence of child-perpetrated crime against mothers, fathers, and siblings using over 30 years of data from a large, standardized dataset. Methods This study employs data from the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to identify victim, offender, and incident-level demographics of approximately 700,000 child-perpetrated intra-family crimes. Logistic regression models are used to compare …
Political diversity in U.S. police agencies
Partisans are divided on policing policy, which may affect officer behavior. We merge rosters from 99 of the 100 largest local U.S. agencies—over one third of local law enforcement agents nationwide—with voter files to study police partisanship. Police skew more Republican than their jurisdictions, with notable exceptions. Using fine‐grained data in Chicago and Houston, we compare behavior of Democratic and Republican officers facing common circu…
An Analysis of National Hockey League Playoff Games and City-Level Crime Counts
Past research indicates that when professional sports games are played, crime increases. Yet, little is known about how playoff games affect crime. As many criminal events associated with sports games, such as riots, occur during playoff games, this is an important gap in the literature. Using data from 15 National Hockey League (NHL) teams from 2013 through 2019, we examine how assault, disorder, and property crimes change when playoff games are…
The Material of Policing: Budgets, Personnel and the United States’ Misdemeanour Arrest Decline
What accounts for the steady decline in misdemeanour arrest rates in the United States following their peak in the mid-1990s? This article links the fluctuation in low-level law enforcement to changes in the budget and staffing resources cities devoted to policing. This materialist explanation contrasts with accounts that emphasize policy changes like the adoption of community policing. Dynamic panel regression analyses of 940 municipalities indi…

Testing the Cinderella effect: Measuring victim injury in child abuse cases
How many complaints against police officers can be abated by incapacitating a few “bad apples?”
Research Summary The notion that the unjustified use of force by police officers is concentrated among a few “bad apples” is a popular descriptor that has gained traction in scholarly research and achieved considerable influence among policy makers. But is removing the bad apples likely to have an appreciable effect on police misconduct? Leveraging a simple policy simulation and data from the Chicago Police Department, we estimate that removing t…
Can Precision Policing Reduce Gun Violence? Evidence from “Gang Takedowns” in New York City
During the last decade, while national homicide rates have remained flat, New York City has experienced a second great crime decline, with gun violence declining by more than 50 percent since 2011. In this paper, we investigate one potential explanation for this dramatic and unexpected improvement in public safety—the New York Police Department's shift to a more surgical form of “precision policing,” in which law enforcement focuses resources on …
More cops, fewer prisoners
Research Summary The results reported in a large amount of the criminology literature reveal that hiring police officers leads to reductions in crime and that investments in police are an efficient means of crime control compared with investments in prisons. One concern, however, is that because police officers make arrests in the course of their duties, police hiring, albeit efficient, is an inevitable driver of “mass incarceration.” In this art…

United States Foreign Aid Programs: Past Perspectives and Future Needs
For the past five or six years American foreign economic policy has constantly been forced to scramble to keep pace with rapidly changing reality.
