Criminal” or “Insane”? Ethnicity and Psychiatric Evaluations of Defendants’ Competency and Responsibility
Objectives Ethnicity is a well-established factor in criminal justice decisions, but its impact on forensic psychiatric evaluations—particularly in assessments of competency to stand trial (CST) and mental state at the time of the offense (MSO)—has received limited attention. While clinical and legal predictors are well documented, the role of ethnic background remains unclear, with existing findings often inconsistent, especially between CST and…
Access to Justice via Parole: Exploring Ethnoracial Bias in Parole Hearings
This research examines access to justice (AtoJ) through the lens of parole decisions, which is a pivotal stage in the criminal justice system, particularly in jurisdictions where post-release access to rehabilitation programs and other services are only available to parolees. The study analyzes 2,361 parole cases in Israel and explores the factors contributing to disparities in parole outcomes, with particular attention to way that biases interac…

Getting Respect: Responding to Stigma and Discrimination in the United States, Brazil, and Israel
Racism is a common occurrence for members of marginalized groups around the world. This book illuminates their experiences and responses to stigmatization and discrimination by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel.

Legitimation, State Repression, and the Sioux Massacre at Wounded Knee
The Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 and the Ghost Dance movement that preceded it offer a compelling sociological case for understanding legitimation, elite framing, and repression. Building on the social movements literature and theoretical insights on power, institutions, and inequality, we engage in multimethod, in-depth analyses of a rich body of archived correspondence from key institutional actors at the time. Doing so contributes to the lite…
If You Build It, They Will Fill It: The Consequences of Prison Overcrowding Litigation
This article examines the consequences of prison overcrowding litigation for U.S. prisons. We use insights derived from the endogeneity of law perspective to develop expectations about the likely impact of overcrowding litigation on five outcomes: prison admissions, prison releases, spending on prison capacity, prison crowding, and incarceration rates. Using newly available data on prison overcrowding litigation cases joined with panel data on U.…
Beyond Deservingness: Congressional Discourse on Poverty, 1964-1996
Much of the research explaining the generosity of antipoverty programs has focused on the perceived deservingness of the poor. While the notion of deservingness is useful in explaining the scope and general outlines of policy, it does not help us understand the development and change of the specific policy instruments that constitute antipoverty policies. The author argues that to better understand the development of antipoverty policy tools aime…
Fairness as Appropriateness: Negotiating Epistemological Differences in Peer Review
Epistemological differences fuel continuous and frequently divisive debates in the social sciences and the humanities. Sociologists have yet to consider how such differences affect peer evaluation. The empirical literature has studied distributive fairness, but neglected how epistemological differences affect perception of fairness in decision making. The normative literature suggests that evaluators should overcome their epistemological differen…
What is Originality in the Humanities and the Social Sciences
Drawing on interviews with peer-review panelists from five multidisciplinary fellowship competitions, this paper analyzes one of the main criteria used to evaluate scholarship in the humanities and the social sciences: originality. Whereas the literature in the sociology of science focuses on the natural sciences and defines originality as the production of new findings and new theories, we show that in the context of fellowship competitions, pee…
