If Looks Could Kill: Do Characteristics of Female Offenders Influence Death Penalty Sentencing Decisions
Sentencing research suggests that offenders who are more physically attractive are more likely to experience leniency in verdict and sentencing. Additionally, there is evidence that other extralegal factors, such as race, influence public and juror opinions on criminality and the appropriate punishment of criminal defendants. Much research on attractiveness, however, has not focused on female offenders or does not explore death penalty opinions. …
The sins of the child: Public opinion about parental responsibility for juvenile crime
Previous research indicates that people ascribe less responsibility to juvenile offenders than adult offenders for the crimes they have committed.

Idleness and Inmate Misconduct: A New Perspective on Time Use and Behavior in Local Jails
A growing body of literature explores how participation in programming in correctional institutions predicts inmate misconduct.

However, the literature that examines these relationships is largely based on qualitative methodology, smal…

This study fills the gap in the literature by examining how multidimensional parenting styles affect gang membership, and which factors mediate this relationship. The logistic regression models indicate a negative relationship betw…
