The Direction of Violence Against Women Research and Evaluation
Although researchers have made numerous advances in the understanding of the nature, extent, and dynamics of violence against women (VAW), there is an ever-increasing need for data used in academic research and within policy decision-making to be collected via rigorous methodological designs to accurately measure the incidence and impact of VAW. What is now needed are research collaborations within an interdisciplinary research cluster that will …
Working the Stroll
Prostitution is one of the most publicly recognized crimes, yet one which we have limited information. Particularly, we have little knowledge of male prostitution and not much information on the locations of sexual transactions. This study fills a void in the research as we apply journey to crime theory to the question of “where” as it applies to male prostitution. Data gathered from Chicago calculate the distance traveled and arrest location for…
Controversies in Criminal Justice Research
This book of original essays presents students with challenging looks at some of the most basic, and sometimes most difficult, decisions faced by criminal justice researchers. Each chapter presents an overview of a foundational question/issue in the conduct of research, and discussions of the options to resolve these controversies.
Sex Offender Residency Restrictions
Community characteristics and child sexual assault
Exploring the Black Box of Journal Manuscript Review
Conducting and publishing research is one of the core responsibilities of academic researchers. Frequently, publications are commonly used measurements for assessing suitability for hiring, tenure, and promotion. Understanding the “black box” of the publication process is essential for budding and new scholars, who are often expected to publish at rapid paces. The current study seeks to provide information about the publication process and the ed…
Assessing Informal Social Control Against the Highly Stigmatized
Both formal and informal social controls are powerful guides and restrictions on behaviors. This study assesses the types of informal social control—observations and interventions, and proposes a division of intervention strategies into two subforms—expressions of disapproval and direct sanctions. Using data from two states (Kansas and Oklahoma) analyses show that registered sex offenders are subject to a wide variety of informal community social…
How Many Authors does It Take to Write an Article? An Assessment of Criminology and Criminal Justice Research Article Author Composition
This study examines the mean number of authors of criminology and criminal justice articles as well as the percentage of solo‐authored articles across 14 criminology and criminal justice journals. Data are from 11,870 journal articles over 44 years. Findings show that solo‐authored papers have declined from nearly three‐quarters of all articles in the late 1960s to just more than one‐quarter at the end of the first decade of the twenty‐first cent…
Attitudes about rehabilitating sex offenders
Rainmakers
Academic research productivity has traditionally been measured via publication counts and citations. These measures have been used to evaluate both individuals and academic departments. An additional measure of research productivity has been emerging in recent years: research grant acquisition. The present analysis explores this method of evaluating research productivity. We consider the number of grants individuals have been awarded, the types o…
Transforming Potential Offenders into Motivated Ones
One of the primary concerns of scholars of routine activity theory is the explication of the three core elements necessary for crime to occur. Using sex offenders as a sample of offenders, the present analysis examines the element potential offender and considers whether or not there are differences among offenders and their locations that may transform potential offenders into actively motivated ones. Until recently, most routine activity schola…
Registered Sex Offenders, Residence, and the Influence of Race
The current research assesses the characteristics of neighborhoods where registered sex offenders (RSOs) reside and whether or not race influences the locations of these RSOs. Drawing on data from 2,290 RSOs in five urban counties, analysis focuses on assessing the characteristics of census tracts where Black and White RSOs reside, as well as assessing characteristics of census tracts with high concentrations of RSOs in residence. Findings show t…
Binge Drinking Among College Athletes and Non-Athletes
Concerns about incidence, forms, and consequences of alcohol use among college students lack examinations of the lifestyles and predictors of college student athletes. This article, using a sample of student-athletes and non-athletes from four Southern universities, identifies the lifestyle predictors for each population, identifying patterns and sets of predictors of binge drinking behavior. Findings indicate that for both samples, binge drinkin…
Sports Fan Binge Drinking
Research has shown a connection between being a college sports fan and binge drinking; however, no research uses criminological theories when examining this connection. The purpose of the present study is to examine the ability of self-control and differential association theories to determine whether the relationship between college sports fans and binge drinking is individual or group situated. Using self-report data from (n=693) college studen…
Social Disorganization and Residential Locations of Registered Sex Offenders
Guided by social disorganization theory, this research assesses the characteristics of neighborhoods where registered sex offenders (RSOs) reside. Drawing on data from 1,504 RSOs in 4 urban counties analysis compares both census tracts with any RSOs and high concentrations of RSOs with the counties containing these census tracts. Findings show that RSOs are likely to live in areas with greater social disorganization than their containing counties…
Southern College Students' Cheating Behaviors
Understandings of cheating behavior by college students have focused on identifying rates at which students cheat and the identification of demographic characteristics. This paper focuses on demographic and other problem behaviors associated with cheating. Male and female samples from 12 southern colleges/universities are examined separately. Results show that males who cheat are more likely to be involved in four of seven other problem behaviors…
Profiling the Druggie Lifestyle
Drawing on self-report survey data from a sample of 1,218 Southern college/university students collected in 1998, this study examines the relationship of demographics, family and background statuses, peer influences, experiences of alcohol and tobacco use, and academic activities as they influence the use of illicit drugs. Separate examinations are conducted to construct the profile of individuals who use marijuana only and those who use harder (…
Lifestyle Factors Associated with the Sexual Assault of Men
This paper explores the role of lifestyle and routine activities in the sexual assault of adult men. Little is known about the individual factors that are associated with the likelihood of male victimization. This paper explores the role of demographics, high school experiences, lifestyle statuses, school activities, leisure activities, alcohol use, drug use and self-protective behaviors in predicting the sexual victimization of a sample of south…
Comparing the Lifestyles of Victims, Offenders, and Victim-Offenders
Drawing on routine activity theory, this paper examines a sample of college students involved in criminal assault to assess whether victims, offenders, and those who are both victims and offenders show similarities on demographic, social activity, neighborhood, exposure, illegal activities, and alcohol and drug use variables. This research tests previous claims that criminal victims and offenders have numerous shared characteristics and behaviors…
A Routine Activity Theory Explanation for Women's Stalking Victimizations
Drawing on surveys administered to 861 university women in nine institutions, this article presents a routine activity theory model for predicting stalking victimization likelihood for women. Using routine activity theory, the model highlights lifestyle behaviors and interactions as predictors of stalking victimization. Whereas routine activity theory often highlights the role of demographics and statuses as predictors, this analysis emphasizes t…
Predicting Risks of Larceny Theft Victimization
Routine activity theory has long been plagued by a heavy reliance on proxy measures of lifestyles, which typically include demographic variables that are regularly used as measures of lifestyle and behavior. This reliance on indirect measures forces researchers to suppose how and why these indicators are related to victimization risks. Using detailed measurements of activities and specific structural aspects of communities is clearly more desirab…
Specifying the role of alcohol in predatory victimization
Alcohol's role in violent and predatory crime is a subject of frequent study among scholars. Generally, research finds that as alcohol consumption increases, so does the likelihood of suffering a personal attack. However, it is not just the act of drinking that increases the likelihood of violent behavior or the risk of victimization. Contextual factors are also presumed to be important. Lasley's (1989) research has elaborated on how drinking beh…
