Traveling While Trans
Airport security involves one of the most ubiquitous identity checks individuals face, and yet there is very little research devoted to the experiences of transgender (trans) people with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This study attempts to examine the broad experiences of individuals who identify as trans with TSA. It uses the U.S. Transgender Survey (2015) data to gain a better understanding of what interactions members of th…
Complainant's physical attractiveness and juristic judgments of blame and punishment in physical, domestic, and sexual assault scenarios
Extralegal factors, including physical attractiveness, may bias juristic opinions. The present study provided 450 university students with hypothetical scenarios of physical, domestic, and sexual assault in which complainant's attractiveness and other legal and extralegal characteristics were independently varied. Results indicate complainant's attractiveness mattered in sexual assault scenarios only for guilt of the defendant, but not for physic…
Explaining the Gender Gap in Juvenile Shoplifting
Shoplifting is one of the crimes with the smallest gender gap among all offense types. Contrary to common stereotypes, males commit shoplifting more frequently than females. Apart from the insight that the share of female offenders is highest for crimes that are well compatible with the prevailing female role, the roots of the gendered distribution of shoplifting have not been extensively studied. Its focus on gender roles and gendered socializat…
Attitudes about Advising among Criminal Justice Graduates
Research indicates that effective advising has important ramifications for students’ coursework as well as future careers, yet, very few studies have assessed how college graduates define their advising experiences, and whether the experience of “bad advising” truly results in negative outcomes for students and departments. To fill this void, attention is given to the way that graduates from one department defined their advising experiences. Resu…
Exploring the Ties between Career Satisfaction and Education
Many studies have considered the influence that education has on career satisfaction. This literature typically has treated education as a trait—something a person has, perhaps in varying degrees. The authors suggest that education should instead be treated as a situational factor that varies between individuals, particularly given that individuals differentially define the quality of their education. Using a sample of 151 criminal justice gradua…
On the relationships between gender, power control, self-control, and crime
Power–Control as a Between- and Within-Family Model
Police civil liability for inappropriate response to domestic assault victims
Race and attitudes toward the police
Perceived Sanction Threats, Gender, and Crime
This research addresses the need to incorporate the perceived threats of informal sanctions, specifically, shame and embarrassment, into the power‐control model. First, the possibility that gender differences exist in the perceived threats of shame and embarrassment, as well as legal sanctions, and that these differences vary between more patriarchal and less patriarachal households of origin is explored. Second, the relative impact of the inform…
Random Drug Testing and Religion
Research recently has begun to examine the link between religion and social control. It has been noted that religion, in particular Protestant conservatism, does play a role in shaping public opinion, and as a result, public policy on crime, crime control, and justice. The present research examines the issue of public support for random drug testing by focusing on the role of religion, specifically religious affiliation, in shaping public opinion…
Religious Stability, Endogamy, and the Effects of Personal Religiosity on Attitudes toward Abortion
The influence of religion on attitudes toward abortion is now a well-studied phenomenon. Past research has consistently shown that religious affiliation and personal religiosity are related to abortion attitudes. In this study, we have extended the extant literature by examining variation in the effect of personal religiosity on attitudes toward abortion across faith groups and across contexts of religious stability/change and endogamy/exogamy. U…
Risk Preferences and Patriarchy
Power-control theory, at its most abstract level, links gender differences in risk preference to patriarchal family structures. In previous studies, direct tests have focused on adolescent delinquency, which is a specific form of risk-taking, and have used measures of risk preference specific to delinquency. In the present article, we introduce evidence for more general power-control theory hypotheses by employing a more global measure of risk pr…
Changes in the Sex Patterning of Perceived Threats of Sanctions
In contrast to a recent survey conducted by Miller and Simpson, two earlier surveys of adults, one conducted in 1972 and the other in 1982, reported that women scored higher than men on measures of what Grasmick and Bursik recently have called perceived threats of shame and embarrassment, as well as legal sanctions, for violating the law. Hagan's power-control theory, coupled with trends in labor force and household composition, is used to predic…
