  • The Connection Between Organizational Justice and Job Satisfaction Among Probation and Parole Officers

    Open AccessEric G Lambert, Matthew C Leone et al.ARTICLEThe Prison Journal2026

    A path model examining the association between organizational justice views and job satisfaction is proposed. The path model suggests that interpersonal and informational justice are associated with higher distributive justice views. Additionally, the path model offers that procedural and distributive justice are related to higher job satisfaction. The path model was tested with data from 222 parole and probation agents from a western U.S. state,…

  • What’s the Chatter? Developing an Integrated Theory-Grounded Psycholinguistic Threat Assessment for the Evaluation of Online Extremist Chatter

    H Colleen Sinclair, Sierra Nelson et al.ARTICLEJustice Quarterly2025

    We examined the online communications of a known domestic terrorist group, the Boogaloo Bois, by analyzing 3,513 Boogaloo-affiliated posts from 2019 to 2020 from 9 social media platforms. Applying a theory-grounded coding framework based on the Integrated Model of Dangerous Speech (IMDS), Moral Disengagement Theory (MDT), and the Duplex Theory of Hate (DToH), we tested links between psycholinguistic markers and threats of violence. We operational…

  • Themes From Currently Incarcerated Individuals About How to Close the School-to-Prison Pipeline

    Open AccessSanna King, David C May et al.ARTICLEThe Prison Journal2025

    The school-to-prison pipeline (STPP) is a metaphor for the pathway through which individuals are “pushed” out of school and into the criminal justice system. Research suggests that the disproportionate representation of marginalized groups in the STPP has important implications for their incarceration experiences as adults. Nevertheless, no research of which we are aware asks incarcerated individuals to provide recommendations to deal with the ST…

    This study examines middle and high school students' perceptions of school climate using an intersectional theoretical framework. Participants include 812 middle and high school students across the United States. Using exploratory factor analysis, we created indexes to regress perceptions of school climate across four subscales on variables known to impact school climate. Our intersectional analysis highlights how students' various identities bey…

  • The Association Between Organizational Justice and Organizational Trust Among Correctional Staff

    Open AccessMonica Solinas‐saunder, Eric G Lambert et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2024

    This study employed organizational justice theory to examine the influence of employee perceptions of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice on whether employees trust their supervisors and management. Analysis of survey results from 322 employees of a state prison located in the Southern United States indicate that procedural and interactional justice—but not distributive justice—predict employee trust in both supervisors and manage…

  • Examining the Effects of Key Workplace Variables on Job Burnout of Southern Prison Staff

    Open AccessMatthew C Leone, Eric G Lambert et al.ARTICLEThe Prison Journal2024

    Burnout is a phenomenon commonly found in the workplace. When burnout is job-related, it is considered job burnout. Historically, job burnout has been most common among those who work in human services fields and who deal with stressful situations on a regular basis. Job burnout consists of three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of work ineffectiveness. While job burnout may be common, not all workers in stressful…

  • Parental Perspectives About What It Means to Bully

    Open AccessKristen L Stives, David C May et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2023Citada por: 1Referências: 43

    While most bullying researchers argue that any definition of bullying must include three core elements (power imbalance, intent to cause harm, and repetitive negative actions), relatively few researchers have examined whether parents define bullying along these three elements. Among those that have, most find that parents focus on the intent to cause harm and ignore or discount the power imbalance and repetition elements. Using qualitative data f…

  • Theft by Any Other Name is Still Theft

    R E Barranco, David C MayARTICLEDeviant Behavior2023Referências: 24

    The current study examines newspaper reports of looting to answer two questions: (1) how was looting framed by U.S. newspapers during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) did any looting actually occur? Looting after natural disasters, particularly hurricanes, has recently received increased attention in scholarly research. The crisis caused by the pandemic of SARS-CoV2 (hereafter COVID-19), while not a natural disaster, has provided many of the same op…

  • Effects of Work–Family Conflict on Southern Correctional Staff Burnout

    Open AccessEric G Lambert, Linda D Keena et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2022

    Research examining correctional staff indicates that there are far-reaching negative consequences related to job burnout, including, but not limited to, diminished physical and mental health, increased risk of substance use, and decreased job performance. One area that may contribute to correctional staff job burnout is work–family conflict, which occurs when work and home domains spill into one another, causing conflict and problems. Using a sam…

  • Understanding Responses to Bullying From the Parent Perspective

    Open AccessKristen L Stives, David C May et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2021

    Relatively little scholarly work addresses parental experiences with bullying in the United States. This lack of understanding about parental perceptions of bullying is a gap in both the scholarly research and the development of effective bullying prevention programming. This paper presents data from responses to a series of open-ended questions about perceptions of and experiences with bullying from 50 parents in a southeastern state. Parents se…

  • Changing Influences in Criminology

    R E Barranco, Ashley Perry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…2021

    A growing body of research has recently been devoted to quantifying research productivity both on the part of individuals, as well as the prestige that individual productivity levels bring to departments. Only recently has research begun to examine what journals criminologists are most likely to cite in their scholarly research. In this study, we rank the most influential journals cited in Criminology for the years 1969–1973, 1989–1993, and 2009–…

  • Improving Correctional Staff Perceptions of Organizational Justice

    Eric G Lambert, Jennifer L Lanterman et al.ARTICLECorrections2020Referências: 11

    The current study explored how three key work environment variables – input into decision-making, instrumental communication, and perceived quality of supervision – affected views of distributive and procedural justice among correctional staff (n= 322) at an unusual Southern prison. Results supported the premise that work environment variables influence the organizational justice perceptions of correctional staff; however, the effects of work env…

  • Punishing the Wrongdoers

    Ethan C Stokes, Stacy H Haynes et al.ARTICLESociological Focus2020Citada por: 1Referências: 8

    This study examines the relationship between religion and attitudes toward punishment. Numerous studies show that these factors are related, but the relationship is complex. Using data from a 2009 telephone survey of 1,207 U.S. adults, we examine how religiosity affects beliefs about punishment for adults and juveniles. Specifically, this study assesses respondents’ views about the purposes of punishment (i.e., deterrence, concern for victims, an…

  • The Baldovan Institution Abuse Inquiry

    Open AccessDavid C May, David MayARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2019

    In this paper, I resurrect a long-forgotten inquiry into abuse and maladministration at an institution for people with learning disabilities, the Baldovan Institution near Dundee, that has lain buried in the archives for the past 60 years. I contrast the response to it with the very different response to the similar revelations of the Ely Hospital Inquiry more than a decade later. Whereas Ely opened up the institutional sector to greater public s…

  • The effects of distributive and procedural justice on job satisfaction and organizational commitment ofcorrectional staff

    Open AccessEric G Lambert, Linda D Keena et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2019Citada por: 7Referências: 4

    Correctional staff are expensive, and they perform the most critical and central duty within the facility: the care and custody of inmates. Improving the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of staff is important, as they have been linked to many salient positive outcomes. We explored whether the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of correctional staff were affected by distributive and procedural justice, the two major dimen…

  • Strategies to Combat Bullying

    Open AccessKristen L Stives, David C May et al.ARTICLEYouth & Society2019Citada por: 2Referências: 39

    Despite numerous studies on the topic of bullying, there remains a dearth of information on how parents respond to bullying and the extent to which they are aware of their child’s bullying experiences. Using qualitative data from 54 parents in a southeastern state, we explore advice that parents give their children about how to respond when their child is a bullying victim and a bystander in a bullying incident and how fearful parents are of thei…

  • Examining the Relationship between Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction among Southern Prison Staff

    Linda D Keena, Eric G Lambert et al.ARTICLECorrections2018Citada por: 2Referências: 10

    The job characteristics model was used to explain job satisfaction at a large southern prison. The effects of job variety, role clarity, views of supervision, views of training, perceived dangerousness of the job, and job autonomy on job satisfaction were studied. Using data from 322 staff members, the study found positive job characteristics (i.e., job variety, supervision, training, and lower perceived dangerousness of job) were associated with…

  • Are Black Robots Like Black People? Examining How Negative Stigmas about Race Are Applied to Colored Robots

    Open AccessJeannice Louine, David C May et al.ARTICLESociological Inquiry2018Referências: 29

    Recent scholarly research has begun to examine human perceptions toward robots. Researchers have also demonstrated that humans make decisions about individuals based on skin color. However, scant research examines the perceptions that individuals have toward robots of certain colors or whether these perceptions, both negative and positive, are predicted by demographic and contextual factors of either humans or robots. Using data from 504 adults r…

  • Mass Incarceration Through a Different Lens

    Open AccessYasmiyn Irizarry, David C May et al.ARTICLERace and Justice2016Referências: 23

    In spite of documented harmful effects of mass incarceration, evidence to date suggests that Blacks perceive the experience of prison as less punitive than Whites. While these findings are well documented, little is known about the role of sociodemographic or contextual factors in shaping this pattern. Utilizing a quantitative intersectional framework, we analyze data from over 1000 Kentucky prison inmates who were within 12 months of their parol…

  • Examining the Mediating Effects of Social Learning on the Low Self-Control-Cyberbullying Relationship in a Youth Sample

    Carrie K W Li, Thomas J Holt et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2016Citada por: 20Referências: 49

    Over the last decade, researchers have conducted a significant amount of research to explore the causes and consequences of cyberbullying, where individuals use the Internet in order to send harmful and aggressive messages. Using a sample of middle and high school students in Kentucky, the current study utilized low self-control and social learning theories in an attempt to further understand why adolescents engage in cyberbullying. The binary lo…

  • What Journals are the Most Cited Journals in Criminology and Criminal Justice’s “Big Three” Journals

    R E Barranco, Wesley G Jennings et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…2015

    Recently, scholars have sought to learn more about scholarly activity within the fields of criminology and criminal justice (CCJ). Research in this area has examined which departments have the most productive faculty, which scholars are the most productive, and which journals are the most prestigious. However, no study of which we are aware has determined what journals criminologists are most likely to cite in their scholarly research. In this st…

  • Predicting Adolescent Fear of Crime Through the Lens of General Strain Theory

    David C May, Shelley Keith et al.ARTICLESociological Focus2015Citada por: 1Referências: 13

    This study examines the effect of neighborhood disorder and strain on adolescent fear of crime while controlling for demographic and contextual variables that have previously been demonstrated as having an association with fear of crime. Earlier work has suggested that feelings of powerlessness have a significant impact on fear of crime among adolescents; thus strain theory (derivatives of which deal with both perceptions of blocked opportunities…
