Accounting For Deviant Behaviors Among Marathon Runners
Assessing Gender Differences in Prison Rule Enforcement: A Focus on Defiance
This study focuses on gender disparities in defiance prison infractions—an understudied and highly discretionary type of rule violation—which have important implications for individuals’ prison experiences and outcomes. Using administrative data on a release population in a large western state (N = 23,818), we employed multilevel modeling techniques to test whether (1) women were more likely than men to receive defiance infractions; (2) whether …
Criminal Careers and Immigration: An Analysis of Offending Over the Life Course Among Homicide Inmates in Texas
The purpose of this study is to examine differences in patterns of criminal arrests between US citizens and foreign citizens among a sample of individuals incarcerated for homicide in Texas. Data for this project come from administrative records of inmates incarcerated in Texas for homicide. Drawing from the criminal careers literature, official arrest records are assessed to compare differences in criminal histories with growth curve models for …
Examining the Risk of Recurring Use of Force Incidents Among Newly Hired Police Officers
Police force, though rare, has profound implications for citizens and officers involved and the community-at-large. It is vital for police agencies to review officer use of force, identify potential misconduct, and reduce repeated officer misconduct. Yet, little is known about what predicts subsequent uses of force and temporal distance between uses of force. The current study employs use of force data from a large, metropolitan police agency in …
Disentangling Differences in Homicide Incarceration Rates by Immigration Status: A Comparison in Texas
Research addressing the purported relationship between immigration and crime remains popular, but some gaps remain under-explored. One important gap involves disentangling differences in crime and punishment by immigrant status, as measured across different definitions of immigration status and in relation to U.S. natives, at the individual level. Using data from Texas, results show that native-born U.S. citizens are incarcerated for homicide at …
Red States and Black Lives: Applying the Racial Threat Hypothesis to the Black Lives Matter Movement
Despite increased media attention, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has received little scholarly attention. News coverage of BLM is often divisive, which suggests important differences may exist in how the public views BLM. Within the context of the racial threat perspective, the present study uses a nationally representative sample of 2,114 individuals from 33 states and the District of Columbia to identify state- and individual-level pred…
Getting High After Getting Out: Understanding the Relationship Between Support, Stressors, and Drug Use Among Men and Women in Early Reentry
This study uses data from the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) to examine the effects of social support and stressors on self-reported illicit drug use among 1,074 recently released individuals (men = 874; women = 200). Three broad conclusions can be drawn from these findings: (a) Men were more likely than women to use drugs in the first 3 months following release from prison; (b) mental health and neighborhood quality were…
Impact of Employment Satisfaction and Stress on Time to Recidivism
Age-graded theories of crime attempt to understand the predictors of continuity and change in offending, where informal social institutions, such as employment, are posited as turning points leading to desistance from crime. Research testing the relationship between employment and offending finds employment playing an important role in the desistance process; however, questions remain of the importance of job quality. Studies examining job qualit…
The Most Prolific Female Scholars in Elite Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals, 2000-2010
There has been a steady stream of research exploring the impact of scholars' research within criminology/criminal justice journals (CCJ), but only a small number of studies have examined the impact of female scholars in particular. Extending that line of work, the present study identifies the most productive sole and lead female authors published in eight top-ranked CCJ journals between 2000 and 2010. Findings reveal that individual ranks of the …
Testing Social Support Theory: A Multilevel Analysis of Recidivism
The Most Prolific Sole and Lead Authors in Elite Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals, 2000–2009
This study offers an alternative to the available ranking studies of criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) scholars by identifying the most prolific sole and lead authors who published their work in eight elite CCJ journals during the first decade of the twenty‐first century. The findings suggest that individual ranks vary based on the measure used (e.g., frequency vs. standardized rate). Consistent with previous research, we found that a small …
