Intervention in Crisis
Research highlights that people with mental illness are significantly more likely to experience victimization events compared with the general population. Generally, studies have noted the importance of guardianship in preventing victimization among this population; however, prior investigations have neglected to examine the role of bystanders’ willingness to intervene in risky scenarios involving a person exhibiting mental illness. To address th…
Immediate and Neighborhood Contextual Effects on Intentional, Accidental, and Fatal Drug Overdoses in a Non-Urban Jurisdiction
Drug overdoses in the United States have been dramatically increasing since the late 1990 s. Research has been successful in identifying individual-level correlates of overdoses, but often fails to examine contextual effects. Using data from one police department, the U.S. Census, and ReferenceUSA, we test the effects of block group (N = 34) and parcel (N = 21,489) variables reflective of social disorganization and availability-proneness theories…
Damned from release
Recently, interest has piqued on the effects of neighborhood context on parolee recidivism; however, examinations often neglect to model neighborhood institutions. One type of institution that may be important to neighborhood processes, and moreover, parolee reentry, are houses of worship. Based on the literature, we examine the effect of congregation-oriented (i.e., Evangelical Protestant) and community-oriented (i.e., Catholic and Mainline Prot…
From the Streets to Prison and Back
Behavioral continuity has been supported by the offending, prison misconduct, and recidivism literature; however, the linear path from offending in the community, to prison, and in the community again has not been fully tested. Data on individuals under parole supervision in the City of Philadelphia were used to test offending continuity across periods of incarceration and within the community. Using binary regression, we tested whether type of c…
The effects of neighborhood service providers on general and technical parole violation reincarcerations
Although the literature has examined the effects of neighborhood structural characteristics on parolee recidivism, the influence of potentially important neighborhood organizations (e.g., service providers) have often been neglected This study examines the effects of two types of service providers on general and technical parole violation reincarcerations, and how these effects vary across time. Parolee data were obtained from the Pennsylvania De…
Neighborhood churches and their relationship to neighborhood processes important for crime prevention
Neighborhood organizations are important aspects of the urban landscape that are increasingly being studied in relationship to crime. However, the neighborhood mechanisms through which organizations are hypothesized to affect crime have rarely been examined. Rooted in social disorganization theory, this study examines the effects of churches—a common and important neighborhood organization—on neighborhood social processes related to crime prevent…
