Transformative Justice in the Shadow of Neoliberalism
Teen Courts as Alternative Justice? Teens’ Carceral Habitus and the Reproduction of Social Inequality
Doing rural community-based action research (CBAR)
Researchers conducting community-based action research (CBAR) become immersed in their field site, developing close relationships and enabling members of the community to pursue social action. We contribute a nuanced analysis of the impact of CBAR on those who participate in the method, particularly participants who live rurally. Situating this work in the history and prior methodological examinations of CBAR, we demonstrate the critical relation…
Saviors and Services
With one-third of rural areas in the United States living in persistently high poverty, churches are some of the most prolific-and often only-sources of resource-provision in rural places. This paper qualitatively examines the complex role that churches play as resource providers in rural areas. Further, we examine the ways churches are helpful and/or harmful in meeting the needs of those experiencing vulnerability. We fuse hegemonic Christianity…
Reimagining access to justice through the eyes of rural domestic violence survivors
Access to justice is a theoretical construct and applied principle within the US legal system, centering equity in access to legal services and representation. However, access to justice extends beyond the legal sphere and into the daily lives of vulnerable people. This article contributes to long-standing efforts to reimagine and repurpose the access to justice framework through an ethnographic examination of rural domestic violence. In doing so…

A Culture of Masculinity or Survival? Gendered Perspectives of Violence among Incarcerated Youth
Recent scholarship challenges the notion that the study of men's and boys' attitudes toward violence and their participation in violent behavior extends to women and girls. Using data collected from youth within the California Department of Juvenile Justice, this paper builds upon prior scholarship to elucidate women's and girls' perceptions of and experiences with violence, and the extent to which they differ from boys' and men's in carceral env…
Quantifying Qualitative Scholarship
This paper describes our efforts to systematically generate knowledge from ethnographic and other qualitative scholarship as a way of bridging intellectual gaps found in quantitative research. We ground this scholarly endeavor in the study of gangs, which has a lengthy history in the field of criminology, yet lacks a coherent, coordinated, and comparative understanding of gang dynamics, behavior, and impacts. We discuss the importance of acknowle…
