Police officers’ perceptions of drug-induced homicide laws
Amid the proliferation of synthetic opioids, prosecutors have increasingly turned to drug-induced homicide (DIH) laws as a legal mechanism to hold drug suppliers criminally accountable for fatal overdoses. Despite growing debate on the utility and consequences of DIH laws, little is known about how law enforcement officers (LEOs), who play a pivotal role in overdose response, perceive these laws and their effectiveness. This study, based on surve…
When Do Protests Matter? The Direct and Moderating Role of Social Institutions in Curbing Police-Involved Killings
Previous research has linked protests against police violence with reductions in police-involved killings. However, the conditions under which these protests are most effective remain largely unknown. This study draws on insights from protest scholarship and theories of institutional anomie, social capital, and collective efficacy to explore whether social institutions shape the geographic distribution of police killings and moderate protest effi…
“Let’s Talk About Stealing Sh*t”
Social media use has significantly increased in recent years, yet relatively few studies have applied criminological theory to understand how online spaces may influence offline criminal behavior. This study uses content analysis techniques to explore how social media users are exposed to socialization processes on an online forum that promotes shoplifting. Findings indicate that concepts derived from the social learning perspective—such as motiv…
Political Ideology and American Attitudes Toward Police Reform
Amid recent controversies in American policing, the authors draw on insights from political science to explore the case of “conflicted conservatives,” Americans who self-identify as conservative but who are operationally liberal in policy preferences. Compared with other political collectives, conflicted conservative attitudes are theorized to be driven primarily by utilitarian concerns about social conditions and government performance rather th…
Bad Hombres or Buena Gente (Bad Men or Good People)
Prior research has extensively documented the protective effects of immigrant concentration on crime. However, little is known about how newcomers of distinct nationalities influence crime in the aggregate, particularly over time. This study examines how immigration measures disaggregated by country of origin impact violent and property crime rates and drug-related arrests in Texas counties from 2000 to 2019. Results from a series of fixed-effect…
All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic? Far-Right Extremism in US Military Appellate Courts, a Call for Data, and Implications for American Law Enforcement
The pernicious infiltration of far-right extremists into the US military has featured prominently in public and political discourse. However, literature on the topic in the criminal justice sciences is scarce. Leveraging military courts of appeals data, we use qualitative techniques to examine the intricacies of far-right extremism in the Armed Forces. Findings suggest that existing military legal policies and practices may promote a culture of p…
Race, Institutions, and American Homicide
Institutional anomie theory (IAT) argues that crime rates will be higher in areas characterized by a value complex that elevates the economy over non-economic institutions. Drawing on the Du Boisian tradition and race-relations scholarship, we argue that the racialized nature of American society influences racial differences in aggregate-level institutional commitments. These racial differences may, in turn, confound the "institutional balance of…
A Culture of White Violence
While the literature has documented various factors influencing the geographic distribution of interracial homicide, little is known about the role of historical antecedents. This article deepens our understanding of interracial homicide by investigating the relationship between slavery and contemporary interracial killings in the American South. The study draws on historical accounts of race-making and Black dehumanization to argue that slavery …
Vote choice in the context of lethal police violence
Immigrant Threat, Racial Competition, and White Resistance to Police and Criminal Justice Reform
This research draws on conflict-based accounts to examine how perceptions of out-group threats shape White resistance to police and criminal justice reform. Using nationally representative data from the ANES-GSS 2020 Joint Study, we find that White Americans who perceive immigrants as a criminal threat are more likely to prioritize the need for more robust social controls rather than supporting efforts toward reforming the police and the criminal…
Vehicle Stops and Group Position
Missouri has been a part of the national discussion on racial profiling for several years—most recently with the NAACP’s issuance of a statewide travel advisory warning Black motorists of high disproportionality in vehicle stops. In their annual reports of stop data, agencies can submit a response to explain their numerical data. This study inductively analyzes the content of these written responses ( N = 806), which were submitted between 2001 a…
Is it a rally or a riot? Racialized media framing of 2020 protests in the United States
This article draws on race relations arguments to explore the nexus between the media, race, and protest policing. The media’s coverage of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and protests opposing COVID-19 restrictions bring to light differences in police intervention at these events. How the media portrays this apparent imbalance is the focus of the current study. Using news reports from major U.S. outlets (e.g., New York Times, Washington Post), we find t…
