  • Perceived Gang Protection, Violent Victimization, and Gang Status Transition in Early Adolescence

    Open AccessJun Wu, Robert H GeiblerARTICLEDeviant Behavior2026

    Gang violence accounts for approximately half of violent crime in the United States. While youth join gangs for protection, they often face an increased risk of violence. There is less research on how expected utility varies throughout the process of joining and leaving gangs. This violence paradox highlights the disillusion of perception vs. victimization in gang joining and desistance. Using data from the G.R.E.A.T. II evaluation, we examine ho…

  • Participation and dose-response effects of institutional vocational training on recidivism and employment

    Open AccessRobert H Geibler, Kathryn WagnerARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice2026References: 63

    There is a growing body of research examining the effectiveness of institutional correctional rehabilitation, such as vocational training. However, much of the prior literature has found heterogeneous effects on recidivism and employment, and much of the previous work has focused on simple participation measures of vocational training. Few studies have examined vocational training dosage effects. In this study, we use data from a 2016–2018 Texas …

  • School Honor Cultures and Violence

    Andrew T Krajewski, Robert H Geibler et al.ARTICLEJustice Quarterly2025

    We examine whether adolescents attending schools with honor-oriented cultures are more likely to engage in violence, net of their own honor attitudes. Studies typically estimate a culture’s strength by averaging the residents’ attitudes, but this cannot adequately account for variation among residents. Recent research in cultural sociology suggests that a culture’s orientation and dispersion are influential. Using data from the Second Internation…

  • If the Cops Won’t, Maybe a Gang Will

    Open AccessRobert H Geibler, Jun Wu et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2025

    Procedural justice is linked to several outcomes such as conformity. We examine whether the relationship between procedural justice and gang membership can be explained by how much youth believe gangs can protect them. Using data from the Gang Resistance Education and Training evaluation (G.R.E.A.T. II), we use path analysis to examine the effect of procedural justice on gang membership and the mediating role of the perceived protection of gangs.…
