Punishment, Rehabilitation, or Both
This study assesses public opinion on how attempted mass shooters should be handled by the criminal justice system. Multinomial logistic regression determined the relative roles of age and mental health status in predicting the endorsement of punishment, treatment, or balanced approaches that incorporate both punitive and therapeutic treatment. Findings suggest that the endorsement of rehabilitative or balanced approaches depends heavily on perce…
Intersections for justice
You are the Father
Pregnancy rates among adolescents have declined in the United States since the early 1990s. Despite the steady decline, adolescent pregnancy and parenthood remain risk factors for negative outcomes associated with youth development, education, and behavioral health. To date, most research on adolescent parenthood has focused heavily on the challenges faced by adolescent mothers, while rarely examining the adverse effects of parenthood for adolesc…
On Gangs and Family
Research rarely explores the link between family and the gang directly. This is an important oversight, because family plays important and dynamic roles in the development of gangs, gang members, and gang careers. Marginalized or otherwise troubled primary families (i.e., families of origin) tend to push youth toward gangs. Later in life, the responsibilities of secondary families (i.e., created families) tend to pull young adults out of or away …

Examining the “Gang Penalty” in the Juvenile Justice System
There are hundreds of thousands of juvenile gang members in the United States who are at heightened risk of criminal offending, violent victimization, and incarceration. Importantly, however, incarceration in itself is a lifelong risk factor for negative social outcomes. That said, little is known about the effects of gang membership on the sentencing outcomes of juvenile offenders. The primary research question of the current study is: How does …

The Effect of Survey Mode on Socially Undesirable Responses to Open-ended Questions
We estimate the difference in the chance of giving a socially undesirable response, one that violates social norms, by administration mode (online or in person) for a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). We do this by evaluating open-ended responses to a photographic stimulus designed to generate undesirable responses. We test five variables: socially undesirable responses generally, blatant stereotyping, distaste, inappropriate descriptors, an…
Cold-Blooded and Badass
Carjacking is a bold crime characterized by unpredictability and danger. Media reports have identified carjackings throughout the world, and estimates suggest 34,000 occur annually in the United States alone. Research with active offenders has examined carjacking in the context of US street crime, but official reporting inconsistencies and a focus on instrumental motivations hinder a more comprehensive understanding of this crime. The lack of a t…
