Examining the “On the Books” Versus “In the Field” Impacts of Probation Reform
More than 3 million adults are under community supervision in the US. Large probation populations and probation’s net-widening effects have motivated reform mobilizing interdependent actors. In Georgia, Senate Bill (SB) 174 created early discharge pathways that involved review by the Department of Community Supervision (DCS), including officers and an automated algorithm, and circuit judges. SB105, passed in 2021, strengthened SB174’s mandates. W…
Differences in Time to Reported First Arrest by Race, National Origin, and Immigrant Generation
This study examines immigrant assimilation theories by focusing on arrest during adolescence and adult life using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, a nationally representative panel study that follows children from adolescence through adulthood. The analysis compares outcomes for the first and second-generation of Mexican origin and other parts of Latin America to third- and fourth-plus generation (1) non-Hispanic white, (2) non-His…
Community Supervision Officers’ Perceptions of Risk and Desistance Among Clients on Probation or Parole
A key component of community supervision officers’ (CSOs) roles is to support clients on probation or parole, assessing them for risk of re-offending and indicators of desistance. To better understand officers’ discretionary decision-making, we conducted nine virtual focus group interviews with a total of 48 CSOs across one state; analyses of these interviews yielded two main themes. The first theme captured officers’ perceptions of signs of risk…
How Long is Long Enough
The debate over pretrial assessment instruments focuses largely on the potential for instruments to exacerbate racial disparities. This study examines the effects of using different recall periods for the criminal history items on the New Criminal Arrest (NCA) scale from the Public Safety Assessment. Using jail admission data from a large jurisdiction in the southeast of the US, we varied the recall period from 1 to 10 years for the criminal hist…
U Visa Certification Patterns and Coverage
Although research has traditionally examined the role of law enforcement agencies in policing immigrants as potential perpetrators of crime and their relationship to federal immigration law enforcement, researchers have focused less on how police respond to immigrant victims of crime and help them secure legal benefits. This paper examines a local case of the U visa program, a federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Securi…
Foreign Student Emigration to the United States
This study uses data from various sources to examine the determinants of trends in international student migration to the United States. Our results highlight the differential contributions to these trends made by various entry pathways. For example, we find that the overall growth was driven by students using visas that offered the least possibility of US employment following the completion of their studies. We also find that overall student mig…
Migration Dynamics, Entrepreneurship, and African Development
Using data from Malawi, this study situates the discourse on migration, entrepreneurship, and development within the context of Africa's social realities. It examines self-employment differences among three groups of migrants and corresponding group differences in agricultural and non-agricultural self-employment. International migrants are found to be more engaged in self-employment than internal migrants. However, our results suggest that previ…
