Years Later: Post 9/11 support for increased security and criminalizing muslims
Islamophobia appears to be growing, becoming a mainstream ideology in the United States. Despite the current spike in anti-Islamic sentiment and fear of the Islamic “other,” these ideas are not new and can be traced back to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Using survey data collected only months after the attacks (N = 422), this study uses an integrated threat framework to examine predictors of public support for increased security in t…
The Construct Validity and Refinement of Process-Based Policing Measures
Prior tests of Tyler's process-based model of policing have left basic measurement questions unanswered. With a sample of 432 adults from a nationwide telephone survey conducted in spring 2005, factor-analytic procedures were used to develop more valid scales and to test process-based model hypotheses. Regression analyses confirmed that procedural justice judgments affect police legitimacy, which in turn influence both cooperation with police and…
The Influence of Gender on the Placement of Children with Gay or Lesbian Adoptive Parents
This study examines the opinions of men and women from a random phone sample of super voters (those persons voting in the last three out of four possible elections) in Florida (N = 413) toward gay men and/or lesbians as adoptive parents. The survey gathered information on whether the respondents would place boys or girls available for adoption with gay men or lesbians. Controlling for various demographic variables, bivariate logistic regressions …
A Test of a Micro-Level Application of Shaming Theory
Using self-projected measures of criminal behavior obtained from a telephone survey, we investigate the predictive ability of four variables central to individual-level application of Braithwaite's shaming theory: participation in gossip, having been reintegratively shamed, having been the object of gossip, and having been stigmatically shamed. The results are partially supportive of the theory. Contrary to expectations, the theoretical inhibitor…

Fear of punishment and the willingness to engage in criminal behavior: A research note
Exploring sentencing in three European cities
This research represents the results of a sentencing study conducted in three cities in Europe. The cities were chosen because they represent widely varying judicial philosophies. The question addressed is: do different formal legal attitudes impact sentencing behaviors? Data come from a randomly selected set of cases acquired from one judge in each of the three cities. The results indicate that, as in the United States, extra‐legal variable play…
Impediments to Cross-national Research: Problems of Reliability and Validity
Extrapolating from experiences in three European countries, the authors enumerate some of the practical problems in conducting criminal court research and gathering data cross-nationally. Within the context of the key concepts of validity and reliability, the impact of substantial research problems are discussed. The authors conclude that although compromises must be made, if care is taken, the compromises do not have to damage the ultimate worth…
