The New Era of Supermax Confinement
Supermax housing—long-term segregation of individuals in prison deemed too dangerous to be safely managed any other way—arose as a common practice in the United States and became a point of substantial debate in recent decades based on different views of whether the housing is needed or humane and its potential benefits or harms. This term is not consistently used, however, and now is typically characterized as a form of restrictive housing. The …
The strains of service
The American public has, over the last decade, experienced a social reckoning with policing and the relationship between law enforcement and their communities has changed dramatically as a result. The current study presents results from ethnographic field observations of a de-escalation training program and 15 semi-structured interviews with law enforcement who recently received the training. These analyses present the first application of the th…
Connecticut’s juvenile review boards
As youth engage in behaviors that have been designated delinquent and criminal, there is a need to provide them discipline without requiring them to become justice-involved. In Connecticut, Juvenile Review Boards (JRBs) use restorative practices integrated into front-end diversions to create an opportunity for service providers to relationally serve youth, their families, and the broader community. This study shares findings from focus groups ind…
My Coping Doesn’t Really Matter
Rampant sexual assault within the United States military contributes to an environment where military lawyers are exposed to vicarious trauma while handling sexual violence cases. Through in-depth interviews, we argue that military lawyers, trained to suppress emotions during military training, often negate their own trauma. Further, prosecutors are encouraged to take victim-centric approaches, that require emotional labor and minimizing their ow…
Online learning in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic
Various aspects of online learning have been addressed in studies both pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most pre-pandemic studies may have suffered from sampling selection issues, as students enrolled in online courses were often not comparable to those taking classes on campus. Similarly, most studies conducted during the initial stages of the pandemic might be confounded by the stress and anxiety associated with worldwide lockdow…
Prosecuting Military Sexual Assault
High rates of sexual assault within the United States Armed Forces have led to several initiatives designed to combat sexual violence and increase prosecution of perpetrators. While scholars argue that the military’s hypermasculine culture contributes to high rates of victimization, less is known about how this culture impacts each case within the military justice system. Using in-depth interviews, we explore how military prosecutors develop stra…
She Clearly Thought That Something Bad Had Happened to Her
It has been well established that survivors of sexual assault are revictimized as they navigate the civilian criminal justice system. Significantly less is known, however, about how sexual violence is navigated within the military justice system. In this study, we use qualitative interviews with military lawyers about sexual assault cases to explore their constructions of victim legitimacy. Lawyers create a distinction between perceived and actua…
