  • Race and ethnicity in the courtroom workgroup

    Open AccessRachel Bowman, Ojmarrh Mitchell et al.ARTICLELaw and Human Behavior2026

    OBJECTIVE: Racial and ethnic disparities in criminal court outcomes in the United States are a persistent problem, one that is often attributed to the considerable discretion court actors have in determining whether, and to what extent, to punish criminal defendants. To reduce unwarranted disparities and overzealous sanctioning in U.S. courts, many have called for increasing the diversity of the court workforce. This article empirically examines …

  • Rethinking Drug Prosecution

    Open AccessDaniela Oramas Mora, Ojmarrh Mitchell et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2026

    To address concerns about a legal system frequently viewed as overly punitive and racially unjust, progressive chief prosecutors have sought to reduce or eliminate the prosecution of low-level drug offenses. Yet, no empirical research has examined whether jurisdictions led by progressive prosecutors treat such offenses less punitively or exhibit smaller racial/ethnic disparities than jurisdictions led by traditional prosecutors. Using case-level …

  • Gender in the Courtroom Workgroup

    Open AccessRachel Bowman, Daniela Oramas Mora et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2023

In the current study, we capitalize on the increasing gender diversity of courts to examine if the gender gap in punishment is explained by the gender composition of the decision-making body in criminal courts: the courtroom wo…

  • Are progressive chief prosecutors effective in reducing prison use and cumulative racial/ethnic disadvantage? Evidence from Florida

    Open AccessOjmarrh Mitchell, Daniela Oramas Mora et al.ARTICLECriminology & Public Policy2022Cited by: 6References: 14

    Research Summary Progressive chief prosecutors, campaigning on platforms calling for reducing prison populations and racial/ethnic disparities, have been elected in numerous jurisdictions across the United States in recent years. Yet, there is no empirical research that compares case outcomes between jurisdictions headed by progressive and traditional chief prosecutors. In this research, we utilize a cumulative case outcome approach that tracks c…

  • Heterogeneity in the Continuity and Change of Early and Adult Risk Factor Profiles of Incarcerated Individuals

    Open AccessB Fox, Kelly E Kortright et al.ARTICLEYouth Violence and Juvenile Justice2021

    Considerable research has examined risk factors for offending, but far less is known on the constellations of co-occurring risk factors, such as adverse childhood experiences and low self-control, and the overall continuity in risk between childhood/adolescence and adulthood. Using data on 735 adults incarcerated in a county jail in Florida, this study examines the latent heterogeneity in risk profiles using risk factors prominent in early years …
