The Relationship of Hispanic Threat with Police-Caused Homicide
Minority threat theory hypothesizes that police exert greater coercive control over racial/ethnic groups perceived as dangerous in cities with relatively large and residentially segregated minority populations. One line of research testing this hypothesis examines the relationships of percent minority and minority segregation with the incidence of police-caused homicide. The limited research on Hispanics provides little supporting evidence for mi…
Diversion and recidivism
Diversion and Restorative Justice
There is an increased acceptance of youth courts grounded in restorative justice principles to divert first-time nonviolent offenders away from formal juvenile court entry. Research assessing the effectiveness of various teen/peer courts is mixed, and focuses mainly on recidivism. This study analyzes 2010 to 2016 Salt Lake Peer Court data to examine the relationship legal and extralegal variables have on the participation in and completion of thi…
Why Not Nuevo Mexicano Studies?”
While there has been an explosion of scholarly interest in the historical and contemporary social, economic, and political status of U.S. Latinx individuals and communities, the majority focuses on traditional Southwestern U.S., Northeastern U.S., and South Florida rural/urban enclaves. Recent “New Destinations” research, however, documents the turn of the 21st century Latinx experiences in non-traditional white/black, and rural/urban Latinx regi…
Assessment of Student Learning
In recent years, academic programs have increasingly documented student learning. For many, this practice of measuring and analyzing student learning outcomes continues as an elusive endeavor fraught with resentment and misgiving. This article describes the development of a student learning assessment plan for the University of Wyoming’s Chicano Studies Program. An initial program assessment facilitated the development of a faculty agreed-upon mi…

Minority Threat, Crime Control, and Police Resource Allocation in the Southwestern United States
Numerous studies have examined political influences on communities' allocations of fiscal and personnel resources to policing. Rational choice theory maintains that these resources are distributed in accordance with the need for crime control, whereas conflict theory argues that they are allocated with the aim of controlling racial and ethnic minorities. Existing research more consistently supports the conflict argument, but important issues rema…
Age, Racial/Ethnic Minority Status, Gender and Misdemeanor Sentencing
Researchers have increasingly examined interactions between various combinations of legal and extralegal variables to explain disparities in felony criminal sentencing decisions. This paper focuses on the combined effects of extralegal variables such as age, racial/ethnic minority status, and gender have on misdemeanor criminal sentencing. Results indicate that adult, White males experienced the harshest fine amounts, while young, young adult, an…
Racial/Ethnic Misdemeanor Sentencing Disparities
Contextual discrimination, or the specific conditions under which judicial injustice manifests itself, has become an important concept for disentangling the complex interplay between legal and extra-legal variables and their effects on sentencing outcomes. Previous studies show evidence for contextual discrimination in felony sentencing. This study provides evidence through descriptive and multivariate analyses of contextual discrimination in mis…
