Community-Based Research
Community-based research (CBR) is a research orientation that emphasizes equitable engagement in the process of knowledge production, though researchers and community partners may navigate collaborative partnerships with differing expectations, priorities, and understandings of success. Extant research has demonstrated that successful CBR partnerships can benefit both researchers and community partners, yet little is known about how both groups s…
Life-Course Victimization and Resilience Among Indigenous Women with Histories of Family Violence
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples and the Interpersonal Victimization Experiences of Indigenous Peoples
This study draws upon original survey ( n = 95) and interview ( n = 16) data with mostly female Indigenous Peoples attending college to identify protective factors associated with resilience in the aftermath of interpersonal victimization and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). Many participants experienced at least one form of victimization (82%), nearly all (94%) were aware of MMIP, and the majority had personally known a friend, fa…
Help-Seeking and Service Use in Response to Interpersonal Victimization Among Indigenous Peoples Attending College in the U.S
Cyberstalking Victims’ Experiences With Fear Versus Other Emotional Responses to Repeated Online Pursuit
This study empirically examines situational and personal characteristics associated with victims’ responses to cyberstalking. In the context of these responses, there has been much debate regarding the “fear standard,” which requires victims or reasonable persons to feel fearful as a result of stalking. To examine victim responses to cyberstalking, survey data were collected from 880 young adults in the U.S. who were repeatedly pursued online (cy…
A Systematic Analysis of Statewide Reports on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples in the U.S
For generations, Indigenous communities have been calling attention to a widespread form of victimization known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). In response to grassroots efforts across rural communities, there has been a marked increase in legislation at the federal and state levels to address MMIP from 2018 to the present. Federal legislation has provided the most comprehensive and coordinated model of response to MMIP. This s…
Influence of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting on Health Morbidity, Health Service Utilization and Satisfaction with Care among Somali Women and Teenage Girls in the United States
Who Can You Trust? The Impact of Procedural Justice, Trust, and Police Officer Sex on Women's Sexual Assault Victimization Reporting Likelihood
Sexual assaults are underreported to the police, even though this crime affects one in four college women. Using a vignette design, this study fills a gap in the literature by examining the influence of prior police perceptions, procedurally unjust treatment, and the sex of the responding officer on college women's likelihood to report sexual assault. Results indicate positive prior police perceptions significantly increase students' perceived li…
Crime Victimization, Health, and Female Genital Mutilation or Cutting Among Somali Women and Adolescent Girls in the United States, 2017
Objectives. To examine if exposure to victimization (e.g., homicide, violence, sexual assault, arson, kidnapping) is related to health problems, health care access and barriers, and health needs—beyond the effects of female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C)—among Somali women and adolescent girls. Methods. We collected original survey data in 2017 from 879 female Somalis in Arizona. Results. Compared with nonvictims, victims experienced signi…
Fear of Victimization Among Incarcerated Youths
This study examines whether neighborhood factors found to predict fear of crime among the general population can be adapted to explain inmate fear of victimization inside juvenile correctional institutions. We test (a) whether institutional physical disorder, resident trust, and formal social control can predict fear of victimization, and (b) whether the importance of these factors for fear of victimization varies based on preincarceration street…
Encountering Correctional Populations
While many researchers study offenders and offending, few actually journey into the correctional world to meet offenders face to face. This book offers researchers, practitioners, and students a step-by-step guide to effectively research correctional populations, providing field-tested advice for those studying youth and adults on probation, on parole, and in jails and prisons. The book addresses topics such as how to build rapport with offenders…
Associations between ideational variables and bed net use in Madagascar, Mali, and Nigeria
This research suggests that the systematic use of this model to identify relevant ideational variables in a particular setting can guide the development of communication strategies and messaging, thereby improving the effectiveness of malaria prevention and control
Identifying the Needs of American Indian Women Who Sought Shelter
Exploring differences in self-control across sex, race, age, education, and language
Violent Victimization Vulnerability
The current study extends theories of crime to explain victimization by examining the direct effects of personality factors (low self-control), social factors (social bonds), and community factors (collective efficacy) on violent victimization. Next, we examine the effects of these theories indirectly through risky lifestyles to impact violent victimization. The proposed conceptual model is tested among a large national sample of youth (ages 12–1…
Gender, Low Self-Control, and Violent Victimization
Prior research demonstrates that men generally experience higher levels of violent victimization relative to women. Using a high-risk sample of jail inmates, the present study draws on the core ideas from the self-control and societal norms toward the treatment of women literatures to examine the main and interactive effects of gender and self-control on violent victimization. Results indicate that gender and self-control both exhibit main effect…
Self‐control and Victimization
A consequential development in victimization theory and research was the idea that individuals with low self‐control self‐select into the various risky behaviors that may ultimately result in their victimization. To establish the empirical status of the self‐control–victimization link, we subjected this body of work to a meta‐analysis. Our multilevel analyses of 311 effect size estimates drawn from 66 studies (42 independent data sets) indicate t…
Selection for Some, Facilitation for Others? Self-Control Theory and the Gang-Violence Relationship
Although self-control theory has been thought to be entirely consistent with the gang selection model, key theoretical predictions of the general theory imply gang selection effects for those with lower self-control and gang facilitation effects for those with higher self-control. This new hypothesis is tested among a large sample of jail inmates. Results indicate that self-control did not render the gang–violence relationship spurious for the sa…
The Gang-Victimization Link
The present study examines gang membership differences in protective behaviors, moderating effects of ethnicity and victimization on the relation between gang membership and protective behaviors, and moderating effects of ethnicity and protective behaviors on the relation between gang membership and victimization. Using a sample of gang and non-gang prison inmates, results indicate that gang members were more likely to carry a gun and have someon…
Testing the relative importance of contemporaneous offenses
Protection Against Pursuit
Cyberstalking is a relatively understudied area in criminology, with no consensus among scholars as to whether it represents a modified form of stalking or whether it is an entirely new and emerging criminal phenomenon. Using data from the 2006 Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), this study compares stalking and cyberstalking victims across several dimensions, including situational features o…

Getting In (and Staying In) When Everyone Else Wants to Get Out
The current study aims to provide researchers interested in conducting research using inmates with information and recommendations based on our experiences studying jail inmates. While prior research has begun to identify lessons learned about obtaining access to criminal justice agencies and lessons about establishing positive researcher–practitioner relationships during the process, little is known about the specific challenges associated with …

Tribal youth victimization and delinquency
This study details ethnic disparities that exist between American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth and White, African American, and Hispanic/Latino youth based on secondary data analysis of Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey from surveys conducted in 2003, 2005, and 2007. Items were selected for secondary analysis based on their relevance to one of five categories including (a) Violence or delinquent behaviors, (b) substance use, (c) sexua…

The Relationship Between Violence in the Family of Origin and Dating Violence Among College Students
Prior research has established that violence in dating relationships is a serious social problem among adolescents and young adults. Exposure to violence during childhood has been linked to dating violence victimization and perpetration. Also known as the intergenerational transmission of violence, the link between violence during childhood and dating violence has traditionally focused on physical violence. This research examines the relationship…
