  • Using Jail Population Analysis to Enhance Offender Treatment Planning

    Open AccessJennifer Miller, J Mitchell Miller et al.ARTICLEThe Prison Journal2026

    Prison population reductions have resituated many offenders and their treatment needs into community corrections. As local jurisdictions increasingly deliver recovery services for drug misuse and behavioral health disorders, examination of jail population trends can inform program enrollment, capacity, and services alignment—especially for jurisdictions offering multiple interventions. Accordingly, this study relates a jail population analysis of…

  • Theorizing Novel and Emerging Drug Use

    J Mitchell Miller, Holly Ventura Miller et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2019Citada por: 1Referências: 66

    Novel and emerging psychoactive drugs (NEPDs), a research-based classification referencing a wide range of natural plant-derived substances and synthetic compounds, have garnered considerable academic attention in recent years. Most of the scientific literature on NEPDs presents definitional overviews of specific substances in terms of their chemical composition and toxicology or socio-legal commentary. This study presents a motivational typology…

  • Exit Interviews in Criminal Justice

    J Mitchell Miller, Brenda Vose et al.ARTICLECorrections2018Referências: 4

    Although exit interviews are common in business and educational contexts, they are utilized less frequently in the criminal justice system. This is unfortunate, however, as exit interviews can alert program staff to issues or areas for improvement, further contextualize and enrich qualitative data collected during program evaluations, and serve as a quality control check on original fieldwork. This study relates findings from an exit interview qu…

  • Exploring Butane Hash Oil Use

    Bryan Lee Miller, John M Stogner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2016

    The practice of "dabbing" has seen an apparent upswing in popularity in recent months within American drug subcultures. "Dabbing" refers to the use of butane-extracted marijuana products that offer users much higher tetrahydrocannabinol content than flower cannabis through a single dosage process. Though considerably more potent than most marijuana strains in their traditional form, these butane hash oil products and the practice of dabbing are u…

  • Assault

    Open AccessJoseph Todaro, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Assault is defined as a violent physical or verbal attack against another person. Commonly referred to as “assault and battery,” such attacks occur in one of two forms (aggravated or simple) and are theorized to occur due to various individual, environmental, and situational factors. Gender, age, race/ethnicity, familial situation, and socioeconomic status are major characteristics of both assailants and assault victims. The most recent findings …

  • Criminology and Social Science

    Open AccessHolly Ventura Miller, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Criminology is the systematic study of law making, law breaking, and law enforcing. Criminology is a social science emphasizing systematic data collection, theoretical‐methodological symmetry, and the accumulation of empirical evidence toward the goal of understanding the nature and extent of crime in society. Rooted in the larger umbrella discipline of sociology, criminology is related to, but distinct from, the more applied field of criminal ju…

  • Crime Ethnography

    Open AccessMike Tapia, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Ethnography is a form of qualitative research conducted from a philosophical position of cultural outlook and insider perspective. Understanding individual behavior, social relations, and social problems from stakeholders' viewpoints are essential goals. Accordingly, ethnography involves researcher immersion into study settings and interaction with subjects in their natural settings (“in‐situ”), as opposed to more sterile qualitative research app…

  • Alcohol and Crime

    Open AccessAlisha N Zellner, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Alcohol use is associated with crime in several respects. There are multiple theoretical explanations for the central role of alcohol and the responsibility it takes in the production of property and violent crime. Research suggests that alcohol can be linked to crime in either a causal fashion (alcohol consumption leads to crime) or as a covarying element (alcohol is correlated with crime). There is considerable debate in criminology regarding w…

  • Cohen, Albert

    Open AccessJ Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Albert K. Cohen is an American criminologist best known for his seminal work in the area of criminal subcultures. His major works include Delinquent Boys: The Culture of the Gang (1955) and Deviance and Control (1966). The 1955 book proposed a general theory of delinquent subcultures through integration of social learning and social structural perspectives. Based on the sociological work of the Chicago School and Merton's strain theory, Cohen's w…

  • Beccaria, Cesare

    Open AccessJoseph Todaro, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Cesare Beccaria was an Italian criminologist and economist best known for his 1764 publication On crimes and punishments , the first systematic statement of principles governing criminal punishment, in which he argued that the effectiveness of criminal justice depended more on the certainty of punishment than on its severity. The book greatly influenced criminal law reform in Western Europe. In later years, Beccaria lectured at Milan's Palatine S…

  • Southern Subculture of Violence Theory

    Open AccessJ Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    The concept of a Southern regional violent subculture has been suggested in the social science literature for nearly seventy‐five years. Theoretical explanations have emphasized both structural and social psychological factors including poverty, rural nature, topography, religious outlook, law, gun ownership, ethnic composition, weather, history, and cultural norms. While neither structural variables nor cultural value system alone fully account …

  • Peer Group Delinquency and Sexual Victimization

    John M Stogner, John Stogner et al.ARTICLEWomen & Criminal Justice2014

    Though a large body of research has found that peer social network characteristics influence both offending and victimization, relatively little is known about the influence of social network characteristics on adolescent sexual victimization. Attractiveness and sociability largely indicate popularity for teenage females, which in turn leads to earlier onset of dating, greater dating options, and potential risk of sexual victimization—an observat…

  • Estimating the effect of gang membership on nonviolent and violent delinquency

    Open AccessJ C Barnes, Kevin M Beaver et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2010Citada por: 10Referências: 55

    This study reconsiders the well‐known link between gang membership and criminal involvement. Recently developed analytical techniques enabled the approximation of an experimental design to determine whether gang members, after being matched with similarly situated nongang members, exhibited greater involvement in nonviolent and violent delinquency. Findings indicated that while gang membership is a function of self‐selection, selection effects al…

  • The Case for Edge Ethnography

    J Mitchell Miller, Richard TewksburyARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…2010Citada por: 8Referências: 14

    Whereas the teaching of qualitative research has long been sacrificed for instruction on quantitative approaches, alternative fieldwork orientations are rarely professed. Edge ethnography represents a strain of qualitative inquiry employing atypical qualitative fieldwork strategies characterized by: (1) the conduct of research within the context of the immediacy of social action, (2) atypical researcher involvement in research settings and activi…

  • The BMI as a somatotypic measure of physique

    Open AccessSean Maddan, Jeffery T Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2009Referências: 1

    In 2008, Maddan, Walker and Miller promoted the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a viable alternative to Sheldon's technique of somatotyping. Utilizing the BMI, Maddan Walker and Miller re-analyzed the original data from the Sheldon studies. This analysis indicated a statistically significant relationship between the two measures of somatotyping. Genovese wrote a response to this work suggesting the BMI is not a useful proxy for somatotyping i…

  • Does size really matter

    Open AccessSean Maddan, Jeffery T Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2008Citada por: 4Referências: 2

    In the mid-20th century, William Sheldon developed the idea of somatotypes in explaining different types of criminal behavior. Sheldon defined three body types believed to be associated with criminality: mesomorphs, who are athletically fit; endomorphs, who are overweight, and ectomorphs, who are characterized by fragility and thinness. Sheldon's research implied that mesomorphic individuals were more prone to committing violent and aggressive ac…
