Understanding the Impact of Forensic Evidence on Homicide Clearance: An Analysis of Los Angeles Homicide Cases, 1990-2010
Homicide clearance rates have dropped considerably between the 1960s and 1990s, a period called the Great Decline. Recently researchers have argued that one of the factors leading to the Great Decline was the increase in prosecutors demand for forensic evidence to proceed with prosecution. Using a unique sample of 4,111 homicide investigator case files, or “murder books,” from 1990 to 2010 compiled and digitized by the Los Angeles Police Departme…
Focused deterrence: Effective crime reduction strategy for chronic offenders
Fear of crime, incivilities, and collective efficacy in four Miami neighborhoods
Do Boys Fight and Girls Cut? A General Strain Theory Approach to Gender and Deviance
Research finds that males are more likely to engage in delinquency than females. General strain theory (GST) suggests that males and females experience different emotions in response to strain leading to different deviant outcomes. Tests of GST to account for this issue are mixed, perhaps due to the reliance on measures that fail to take into account the gendered nature of responses to strain. The current study examines the mediation of strain by…

Constructing crime: Neighborhood characteristics and police recording behavior
Public views of illegal migration policy and control strategies: A test of the core hypotheses
Exploring the utility of general strain theory in explaining problematic alcohol consumption by police officers
For Those Who Like Odds: A Direct Interpretation of the Logit Coefficient for Continuous Variables
Objective. Researchers have suggested a number of different methods for interpreting the coefficients in a logit model. Unfortunately, many of these interpretations suffer from a lack clarity or involve a substantial number of manipulations of the logit coefficient prior to interpretation. In this article, we discuss a straightforward method of interpreting logit coefficients for continuous dependent variables without the need for extensive trans…
Mastery learning, rewriting assignments and student learning of criminal justice research methods
This research examines the application of mastery learning theory to the teaching of criminal justice research methods. Mastery learning has students learn each module before proceeding to the next one. Criminal justice research methods is amenable to mastery learning because the course content is cumulative; students need to know each step before proceeding to the next one. Mastery learning was implemented by having students rewrite exercises un…
