Young Enough for the Maximum: Discretionary Release Decisions in the Post- Miller Era
Based on U.S. Supreme Court decisions recognizing adolescence, we examined the likelihood of parole in one state for a population of candidates whose ages ranged from 14 to 21 at time of offense. Logistic regressions tested age on release, controlling for offense, adolescence-related, and rehabilitative variables. Contrary to expectations, a parole candidate’s age at time of offense is not associated with release nor did age interact with culpabi…
Now with the possibility of parole: Enabling a juvenile lifer’s meaningful review
Parole is one of the least visible decision-making processes in the criminal justice system. We consider decision statements that support or reject release as symbolic of organizational concerns beyond the candidate’s individual attributes. To draw out the symbolic, we focus on decision statements issued to 33 juvenile lifers previously ineligible for parole. We find that what is meaningful to a parole board is highly selective, and there is no g…
Crime and Safety in Suburbia
Criminologists have long focused their attention on the inner-city street corner and neglected the suburban cul-de-sac. Crime in the suburbs should be of greater criminological concern. Cities are no longer centrally located. Suburbanization has impacted not only where most Americans live but also the types and reasons for crime. We begin this review with an overview of the unique structures of the suburb and the rise of the suburban city. We com…

Recriminalizing Delinquency: Violent Juvenile Crimes and Juvenile Justice Reform
Control Balance: Toward a General Theory of Deviance
A major contribution to the field of crime/deviance, this volume by noted criminologist Charles R. Tittle puts forth an integrated theory of deviance—control balance. Its central premise is that the total amount of control people are subjected to, relative to the control they can exercise, will affect the probability and type of their deviant behavior. In developing control balance, Tittle critically reviews other general theories such as anomie,…
Recriminalizing Delinquency: Violent Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice Reform
Recriminalizing Delinquency presents a case study of legislation that redefines previous acts of delinquency as crimes, and delinquents as juvenile offenders. It examines one state's response to violent juvenile crime through waiver legislation that transfers jurisdiction over juveniles from juvenile court to criminal court. It focuses on the creation, implementation, and effects of waiver legislation that lowered the eligible age of criminal res…
Merging and Emerging Systems of Juvenile and Criminal Justice
Merging and emerging systems of juvenile justice are a product of reforms that track juveniles into distinct legal categories. The varying ways of bringing juveniles into the adult legal process are reviewed along with the justifications for waiver. The effectiveness of waiver policies is seen as a technique of managing delinquents rather than reducing rates of recidivism. The policy implications of waiver along with suggestions for research dire…

Power‐control Theory, Gender, and Delinquency: A Partial Replication With Additional Evidence on the Effects of Peers
This examination of Hagan et al.'s (1985, 1987) power‐control theory of delinquency and gender finds that gender and delinquency are related to the relative authority of parents at work in ways unexpected by power‐control theory. Support is found, however, for the power‐control thesis pertaining to parental control and risk‐taking attitudes. In reconciling differences between these findings and those of Hagan et al., the conclusion is that relati…
Criminalizing Delinquency: The Deterrent Effects of the New York Juvenile Offender Law
New York's Juvenile Offender (JO) Law of 1978 is a significant step away from separate systems of justice for adults and juveniles. The law requires that juveniles accused of violent offenses be tried in criminal court, and it provides penalties comparable to those for adults. This paper evaluates the impact of the JO Law on violent juvenile crime rates in New York City and in upstate New York. Analyzing arrest data through the use of an interrup…
