Whom and when to deport and punish
Across many immigrant destination countries, recent immigration law enforcement has expanded in scope and salience, intensifying public debate over deportation, criminal punishment, and the treatment of immigrants in the criminal legal system. Drawing on focal concerns theory, the current study uses the U.S. as an empirical case and a 4 (country of origin: Syria, China, Russia, or Mexico) × 2 (crime severity: felony drug offense or misdemeanor tr…
Measuring Stereotypes Against Asian Women in the U.S
Stereotypes against Asian women have a long history in the U.S. and have gained more attention recently. This study develops a multi-dimensional scale measuring the public’s stereotypes against Asian women (SAW) and uses factor analysis to assess the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale with data from a high-quality national sample of U.S. adults (N = 1300) and an oversample of Asian Americans (N = 200). We also use regression models…
Behind Bars and Beyond
To assess public support for families impacted by incarceration, we embedded a vignette experiment in a YouGov survey ( N = 1,300) posed as a social media post asking for help for a family facing housing instability. We manipulated the reason for hardship, who are impacted in the family, the race of the affected family, and number of “likes” on the post. Respondents are less likely to support direct (donating and volunteering) or government (tax …
The transferal of criminal record stigma in the employment context
A common concern in hiring individuals with criminal convictions is the stigma associated with the criminal record, which can include negative consumer reactions. We provide two novel tests of courtesy stigma, or the idea of transferring negative traits from one entity to another, through a nationwide survey. Using a conjoint experiment and a follow‐up open‐ended question, we first establish whether the public is less likely to select a restauran…
Punishing Protesters on the “Other Side”
The authors investigated public support for government repression of protests (police repression, legal repression, and punishment of protesters) following incidents of violence and harm. Using two factorial vignette experiments embedded in a national Qualtrics survey ( n = 1,229), the authors examined whether partisan bias (i.e., polarized responses to actions by ideological opponents or allies) characterized public preferences for repressive go…
Conceptualizing and Measuring Public Stigma Toward People With Prison Records
Public stigma toward people with prison records hinders re-entry initiatives. Although it is widely discussed in corrections, its measurement has been study specific. Based on existing literature, we develop and test a multidimensional public stigma scale. We examine the factor structure and dimensionality of the scale using a Qualtrics Panel sample of U.S. adults ( N = 1,216) and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, which show that 17 o…
Social Change and Gendered Reaction to the Threat of Victimization, 1973-2016
The current study examines the gendered reaction to victimization threats from 1973 to 2016 using the General Social Survey and the hierarchical age-period-cohort-characteristics model. Results suggest the gender gap is narrowing across time with a gradual decline among women who report feeling afraid to walk alone at night. The period-level change in violent crime rates and the cohort differences in gender ideology have significant impact on the…
Public Opinion About #MeToo Victims and Offenders
During the #MeToo movement, many sexual assault survivors are discredited because of their delay in disclosure or failure to report to the police. The current study investigates which factors influence public opinion towards sexual assault victims and offenders by analyzing data from a national factorial survey. Results show disclosing the offense immediately to the public, reporting to the police, and having a witness are positively related to p…
The public salience of crime, 1960–2014
The public salience of crime has wide‐ranging political and social implications; it influences public trust in the government and citizens’ everyday routines and interactions, and it may affect policy responsiveness to punitive attitudes. Identifying the sources of crime salience is thus important. Two competing theoretical models exist: the objectivist model and the social constructionist model. According to the first, crime salience is a functi…
Media consumption and crime trend perceptions
For over two decades, despite the downward crime trend, the American public has persisted in believing crime is on the rise. Cultivation theory holds that the media is responsible for the public's crime trend perceptions. Previous cultivation studies heavily rely on cross-sectional data, which may lead to spurious conclusions due to reverse causation and omitted variable bias. This study aims to address these issues by utilizing longitudinal anal…
