  • The Prediction of Impulsivity Dimensions From PTSD, Neighborhood Context, and Their Interaction in a Sample of Justice Involved Women

    Open Access•Thomas W Wojciechowski, Merry Morash•ARTICLE•Crime & Delinquency•2026

    This study investigated the associations of PTSD, neighborhood crime, and their interaction with dimensions of impulsivity in a sample of 402 justice-involved women. PTSD was examined as a predictor of impulsivity dimensions and neighborhood crime was examined as a moderator of the effect of PTSD on each impulsivity dimension. Factor analysis identified dimensions of impulsivity and ordinary least squares regression examined the effect of PTSD sy…

  • Examining PTSD as a Predictor of Trajectories of Depression/Anxiety Symptoms Among Justice-Involved Women

    Open Access•Thomas Wojciechowski, Merry Morash•ARTICLE•Women & Criminal Justice•2026

    Despite high prevalence of mental health needs, research examining justice-involved women’s (JIW) PTSD as a predictor of trajectories of (i.e., changes in) depression/anxiety is lacking. For 402 JIW in a longitudinal study, group-based trajectory modeling identified four patterns of change in depression/anxiety symptoms. Multinomial logistic regression showed that PTSD symptoms predicted assignment to the High Chronic and Recurring anxiety/depres…

  • Trait Self-Efficacy as a Moderator of Esteem Support Message Effects in the Parole/Probation Agent-Client Relationship

    Open Access•A J Holmstrom, Merry Morash et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Studies•2025

    Research derived from the cognitive-emotional theory of esteem support messages (CETESM) demonstrates that messages that help recipients to reappraise an esteem-threatening event can enhance their state self-esteem. The dual-process theory of supportive communication outcomes posits that various factors moderate the effects of supportive message quality. The present study examines how certain tenets of the dual-process theory of supportive commun…

  • An Opportunity for Probation and Parole Agents to Provide Optimal Support to Mothers They Supervise

    Elizabeth A Adams, Merry Morash et al.•ARTICLE•Women & Criminal Justice•2025

    Research has shown that parenting challenges and concerns over child custody contribute to justice-involved mothers’ parenting stress, which is related to recidivism. Justice-involved women often lack support within their social networks to assist them with stressors, but interactions with probation and parole agents can provide opportunities for mothers to obtain needed support. This study examined qualitative data from semi-structured interview…

  • A First Step in Understanding Influences on System-Involved Women’s Changes in Financial Need

    Open Access•Kaelyn Sanders, Kayla M Hoskins et al.•ARTICLE•Feminist Criminology•2023•Referências: 8

    Financial need strongly predicts women’s recidivism. However, little is known about influences on change in system-involved women’s financial need. Qualitative data from women with significant increases and decreases in financial need show the importance of tailored assistance finding jobs to improve financial status, and the relevance of worsening physical health and limited access to safety-net benefits to increasing financial need. Prior convi…

  • The Relevance of Women’s Economic Marginalization to Recidivism

    Open Access•Merry Morash, Deborah A Kashy•ARTICLE•Criminal Justice and Behavior•2022

    This study examines whether changes over time in women’s criminogenic needs, particularly their financial needs, predict recidivism. In a 9-year longitudinal study, 304 women were interviewed repeatedly during 4.5 years after probation/parole began. Women provided data on both their gender-specific and gender-neutral criminogenic needs. Women’s average standing on each need and an index of their change in the need over time were computed and used…

  • Spatial Mismatch, Race and Ethnicity, and Unemployment

    For 312 women on probation and parole, we used mediation and conditional process analyses to examine the indirect effect of minority racial/ethnic status on unemployment through spatial mismatch between women’s place of residence and the location of available jobs. Consistent with the spatial mismatch hypothesis, employment opportunities per capita within 2 miles of women’s census tract of residence mediated the relationship between minority stat…

  • Precursors to Probation and Parole Agent Communication Patterns with Female Clients

    Open Access•Sandi W Smith, Merry Morash et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Studies•2020

    Supervising agents serve dual roles as they both help and control the over one million women in the United States (U.S.) on probation and parole as the women strive for lives free of substance abuse and crime. Previous research has found that supervising agent communication patterns have a strong influence on these positive outcomes. Little is known, however, about the precursors to the conversational and conformity communication patterns supervi…

  • Tracking methods and retention for a longitudinal sample of alcohol‐ and drug‐involved women on probation and parole

    Open Access•Miriam Northcutt Bohmert, Kayla M Hoskins et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2019•Citada por: 1•Referências: 18

    Attrition, or the progressive loss of individuals from a sample, poses a major problem in fields that carry out research to inform policy and program design. Attrition reduces statistical power by reducing sample size and compromises the external validity of findings by introducing sampling bias. If sampling bias results from disadvantages that act as barriers to research participation, then it promotes social injustice by excluding disadvantaged…

    An established body of literature shows that females have higher levels of fear than males. Research suggests that women typically resort to rather constraining behavioral actions that limit their participation in public life. However, it is unclear whether the strategies women use to avoid victimization are tied to community context, especially for high-risk populations, such as women offenders. We build from insights of previous research by exa…

Using data from a national study of innovative management and programming strategies among correctional administrators, the present research examines management approaches needed for women, with a focus on the degree to which some administrators use stereoty…

    Open Access•Kristy Holtfreter, Michael D Reisig et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology & Public Policy•2004•Citada por: 37•Referências: 6

    Research Summary: This research investigates the effects of poverty and state capital (i.e., state‐sponsored support) on recidivism among women offenders. We seek also to determine whether criticisms directed at actuarial risk tools, such as the failure to take into account gender‐related factors (e.g., poverty status), have merit. A community corrections sample of 134 female felony offenders from one county in the State of Oregon and in the citi…

    To model the relationship between strains and delinquency in a non-Western national context, the present study integrated information on adolescence in South Korea with prior theoretical and empirical work on general strain theory (GST) to explain delinquency. The sample included just under 400 adolescents in technical and college preparatory high schools in South Korea. Two types of strain, examination related strain and emotional and physical a…

  • Assessing Recidivism Risk Across Female Pathways to Crime

    Michael D Reisig, Kristy Holtfreter et al.•ARTICLE•Justice Quarterly•2006

    Actuarial tools, such as the Level of Supervision Inventory—Revised (LSI‐R), are regularly used to classify offenders as “high,” “medium,” and “low” recidivism risks. Its supporters argue the theory upon which the LSI‐R rests (i.e., social learning theory) accounts for criminal behavior among men and women. In short, the LSI‐R is gender‐neutral. Feminist criminologists question the LSI‐R’s validity for female offender populations, especially wome…

    Merry Morash, Chang‐Hun Lee et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2006•Citada por: 2•Referências: 59

    This paper focuses on effects of status differences of nationality, gender, age, education, social class, rank, and in the United States, race, on comparing how police cope with workplace stressors. It also considers whether the nature of workplace stressors, a collec‐ tivist orientation, and availability of social support explain subgroup differences in how officers cope. Survey data were collected from 676 South Korean and 947 U.S. officers. Co…

  • Risk Factors for Abusive Relationships

    Open Access•Merry Morash, Hoan Bui et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2007•Citada por: 16•Referências: 3

    This study identifies risk factors for Vietnamese American women's abuse. Intensive interviews with 129 Vietnamese women immigrants in a northeastern metropolitan area provided data to examine risk factors for sexual, physical, and verbal abuse. Patriarchal gender arrangements in the family, arguments about fulfilling gender and family roles, and partner's threat that divorce would compromise the participant's immigration status put women at risk…

  • Gender Differences in the Effects of Strain on the Delinquency of South Korean Youth

    Open Access•Merry Morash, Byongook Moon•ARTICLE•Youth & Society•2007•Citada por: 23•Referências: 44

    General strain theory (GST) was tested as an explanation of violent and status offense delinquency of South Korean girls and boys. One research objective was to determine whether Korean girls and boys differed in their experience of each type of strain and in the levels of conditioning effects that might moderate the connections of strain to delinquency. Another objective was to identify gender differences in the effects of different types of str…

  • Immigration, Masculinity, and Intimate Partner Violence From the Standpoint of Domestic Violence Service Providers and Vietnamese-Origin Women

    Open Access•Hoan N Bui, Merry Morash•ARTICLE•Feminist Criminology•2008•Citada por: 7•Referências: 13

    Data from in-depth interviews with Vietnamese immigrant women residing in the United States and both interviews and a focus group with service providers for abused Vietnamese immigrants suggest a complex relationship among job market context, changing norms about appropriate feminine behavior, immigration adaptation, masculinity, and men's violence against intimate partners. During immigration resettlement, men's economic status can worsen, there…

    The study identifies predictors of women's remaining entangled in abusive relationships. The sample includes 57 women in one Vietnamese American enclave. Women's beliefs in maintaining an intact family, patriarchal decision making, and fear of their partners characterized women remaining. To a lesser extent, seeking help from a variety of places characterized women who escaped, and concern with achieving important goals, number of children, finan…
