The Effects of Sociopolitical Factors on Divorce Rates after Political Upheavals in Post-Soviet Countries
The present study investigates the influence of sociopolitical factors on the divorce rate in a sample of seven Color Revolution countries. The second demographic transition perspective and the concept of political anomie were used as the primary theoretical framework. Fixed effects method analysis was conducted for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine from 1995 to 2018. Results indicated that economic growth, rise in wom…

Cross-national differences in female offending and criminal justice processing
The purpose of this study is to assess whether four key theoretical perspectives on female criminality—emancipation, economic marginalisation, net-widening, and modernisation—explain female representation in the criminal justice system equally well for both developed and developing countries and to assess whether the same factors that can explain women’s levels of criminal offending can also explain their representation in subsequent stages of cr…
The international trafficking of human organs
Organ trafficking has not generated much scholarly literature to help our understanding of its nature, causes, and consequences. Fortunately, Leonard Territo and Rande Matteson have contributed a u
The influence of political and economic changes on macro-level property crime variation
The goal of this article was to assess the extent to which major changes in the political and economic systems of Central and Eastern European countries after the fall of communism contributed to variations in property crime rates, controlling for other structural predictors. Data for 17 countries from 1990–2003 were collected for three types of property crimes: total theft; motor vehicle theft; and domestic burglary. Traditional predictors deriv…
Money Matters
This study utilized a fairly new measure of gender equality from the European Union to dissect the relationship between gender-specific homicide victimization rates and different forms of gender equality across a sample of European countries. Results showed support for a curvilinear relationship between financial equality and female and male homicide victimization, providing support for amelioration and backlash theories, but no support for absol…
The effects of detrimental drinking patterns and drug use on female homicide victimization rates across Europe
This study examines the extent to which drinking patterns and drug use can explain cross-national variations in female homicide victimization across Europe. Given the limitations in measuring femicide consistently across a large number of countries, this study uses mortality data on recorded female deaths as a proxy to explain differences in levels of this kind of violence against women across Europe. In particular, it focuses on national-level p…
An Exploratory Study Comparing the Effectiveness of Lecturing versus Team-based Learning
Lecturing has been criticized for fostering a passive learning environment, emphasizing a one-way flow of information, and not adequately engaging students. In contrast, active-learning approaches, such as team-based learning (TBL), prioritize student interaction and engagement and create multidirectional flows of information. This paper presents an exploratory analysis of whether lecturing or TBL was better for teaching content; developing skill…
How data visualization can improve analytical thinking in cross-national crime research
Cross-national criminology is naturally embedded in spatial and historical contexts, but cross-national crime researchers rarely employ data visualization techniques to illustrate relationships built in time and space. In this paper, the author argues that data visualization techniques, if employed following sound principles of analytical design, can facilitate data analysis, causal reasoning, and theoretical development. This paper reanalyzes da…
Shaking Up Criminal Justice Education with Team-Based Learning
This article introduces readers to the philosophy and design of team-based learning (TBL), a method developed by Dr. Larry Michaelsen that was influenced by literature in organizational psychology and pedagogy documenting what actually motivates adults to learn and how they master higher order learning skills. We describe how TBL was implemented in several criminal justice courses and illustrate how this method has drastically reduced student apa…
Assumptions and Evidence Behind Sex Offender Laws
Since the mid‐1990s legislators have enacted a series of laws regulating convicted sex offenders who have returned to communities. Policymakers crafted these laws to appease a worried public, but they were based on assumptions about sex offenders’ behaviors that were not well supported by research evidence. In this paper we examine the social context within which these laws were passed and the assumptions behind the three most common sex offender…
Correlates of National-level Homicide Variation in Post-Communist East-Central Europe
This article examines whether correlates of cross-national homicide variation tested with data from highly developed, predominantly Western nations could also explain homicide rates in East-Central Europe. Using pooled time-series analyses of data from nine countries from 1990 through 2003, this study found that homicide rates were negatively related to GDP/ capita and positively related to ethnic diversity and population density They were also n…

Incorporating Socio‐Historical Context into Quantitative Cross‐National Criminology
This paper critically examines how quantitative cross‐national crime studies have ignored socio‐historical context in their analyses and interpretation of results. In particular, spatial and temporal dynamics that shape the social, political, and economic characteristics of nation‐states are often overlooked in favor of variable‐driven models. This paper illustrates how two popular research design decisions, namely the use of non‐representative s…
