  • Theorizing Novel and Emerging Drug Use

    J Mitchell Miller, Holly Ventura Miller et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2019Cited by: 1References: 66

    Novel and emerging psychoactive drugs (NEPDs), a research-based classification referencing a wide range of natural plant-derived substances and synthetic compounds, have garnered considerable academic attention in recent years. Most of the scientific literature on NEPDs presents definitional overviews of specific substances in terms of their chemical composition and toxicology or socio-legal commentary. This study presents a motivational typology…

  • Routledge Handbook on Immigration and Crime

    Anthony A Peguero, Holly Ventura Miller et al.EDITORBOOKRoutledge Handbook on Immigration…2018

    American immigration and gangs are seldom covered in either historical or contemporaneous accounts independently. While the oft-referenced immigration and crime correlation is phenomenally more general than gangs, gangs, as readily identifiable and contentious collectives, have fueled social constructions and thus over-representative stereotypes of various immigrant groups. Immigration as a driver of crime rates remains a popular public opinion r…

  • Exit Interviews in Criminal Justice

    J Mitchell Miller, Brenda Vose et al.ARTICLECorrections2018References: 4

    Although exit interviews are common in business and educational contexts, they are utilized less frequently in the criminal justice system. This is unfortunate, however, as exit interviews can alert program staff to issues or areas for improvement, further contextualize and enrich qualitative data collected during program evaluations, and serve as a quality control check on original fieldwork. This study relates findings from an exit interview qu…

  • Criminology and Social Science

    Open AccessHolly Ventura Miller, J Mitchell MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Criminology is the systematic study of law making, law breaking, and law enforcing. Criminology is a social science emphasizing systematic data collection, theoretical‐methodological symmetry, and the accumulation of empirical evidence toward the goal of understanding the nature and extent of crime in society. Rooted in the larger umbrella discipline of sociology, criminology is related to, but distinct from, the more applied field of criminal ju…

  • Ohlin, Lloyd

    Open AccessHolly Ventura MillerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Theoretical…2014

    Lloyd Ohlin was an American sociologist best known for his work on the theory of differential opportunity. Ohlin, along with Richard Cloward, published in 1960 Delinquency and opportunity: A theory of delinquent gangs , which has become of staple of classic criminological thought. The theory by Cloward and Ohlin is viewed as a synthesis of strain and subcultural perspectives and offers an explanation for gang development based on community disorg…

  • Susceptibility to Peer Influence, Self-Control, and Delinquency

    Open AccessRyan C Meldrum, Holly Ventura Miller et al.ARTICLESociological Inquiry2013Cited by: 12References: 52

    The significance of peers during adolescence is well established in the social science literature. However, relatively few studies have devoted attention to susceptibility to peer influence with regard to both its causes and consequences. The current study aims to add to this literature in two ways. First, it investigates the role of self-control in the etiology of susceptibility to peer influence. Second, it examines the independent and interact…

  • Research Trajectories of Female Scholars in Criminology and Criminal Justice

    Stephen K Rice, Karen J Terry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…2007

    Other than through its ties to scholarship on the sociology of higher education, the topic of female scholar productivity appears to be timely in light of the gender transformation underway in criminology and criminal justice (e.g., the majority of CCJ graduate students are female, and the CCJ professorate will be majority female if admission patterns hold). Toward this end, the present study provides an examination of the employment patterns and…
