Review of “Living Diaper to Diaper
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Relationship Between Homeownership, Income, and Energy Insecurity
Homeowners generally have more control than renters over the energy efficiency of their home. In this way, homeownership can be protective against energy insecurity. For those with inefficient homes in disrepair, however, homeownership can increase the risk of energy insecurity. Using the 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, we examine race/ethnic differences in the associations between homeownership and energy insecurity. Across most grou…
Visualizing the Spatial Distribution of Energy Insecurity in the United States
Prior to 2020, little was known about how energy insecurity varies across U.S. states. The recent release of energy insecurity data from the Energy Information Administration facilitates the exploration of energy insecurity at the state level using the Residential Energy Consumption Survey. In this visualization, the authors use choropleth maps to show spatial variation in (1) forgoing basic necessities such as food or medicine to pay an energy b…
Breaking Barriers to Employment
Many people face profound barriers to employment, such as former incarceration, mental illness, or homelessness. Without stable employment, people struggle to become economically self-sufficient. Transitional, paid work may give people job skills to help them obtain and maintain employment. This study examined four employment social enterprises, which provide paid transitional work for people facing employment obstacles. Eighteen months later, th…
Surviving a Shut-Off
This article reports on the first known study to estimate household characteristics and coping behaviors associated with utility disconnections in the United States. We capitalize on a measure of disconnections available in the Residential Energy Consumption Survey that the U.S. Energy Information Administration administers. Using the 2015 panel, we analyzed the prevalence of disconnection notices, disconnection of services, and related coping st…
Forgoing Food Assistance out of Fear
Public charge, a term used by immigration officials for over 100 years, refers to a person who relies on public assistance at the government’s expense. Immigrants who are deemed at high risk of becoming a public charge can be denied green cards; those outside of the United States can be denied entry. Current public charge policy largely applies to cash benefits. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a regulation that will allow officia…
Poor State, Rich State
According to the Supplemental Poverty Measure, state-level poverty rates range from a low of less than 10 percent in Iowa to a high of more than 20 percent in California. We seek to account for these differences using a theoretical framework proposed by Brady, Finnigan, and Hübgen (2017), which emphasizes the prevalence of poverty risk factors as well as poverty penalties associated with each risk factor. We estimate state-specific penalties and …
Public Sector Employment Inequality in the United States and the Great Recession
Historically in the United States, the public sector has served as an equalizing institution through the expansion of job opportunities for minority workers. This study examines whether the public sector continues to serve as an equalizing institution in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Using data from the Current Population Survey, I investigate changes in public sector employment between 2003 and 2013. My results point to a post-recession …
Unemployment among Mexican immigrant men in the United States, 2003-2012
Targeting Lynch Victims
This article presents the first evidence based on a newly-compiled database of known lynch victims. Using information from the original census enumerators' manuscripts, we identify individual- and household-level characteristics of more than 900 black males lynched in 10 southern states between 1882 and 1929. First, we use the information for successfully linked cases to present a profile of individual- and household-level characteristics of a la…
The Relation of Family and School Attachment to Adolescent Deviance in Diverse Groups and Communities
This longitudinal study used a national probability sample of adolescents to examine whether attachments to the family and school reduced five forms of adolescent deviance: cigarette smoking, alcohol use, marijuana use, delinquency, and violent behavior. The authors assessed whether these factors reduced the overall frequency, prevalence, and intensity of each problem behavior. The study also examined the power of these attachments to reduce devi…
IV. A Male Pill? Gender Discrepancies in Contraceptive Commitment
The limited number of male contraceptive methods is often assumed to comprise the major obstacle to greater male responsibility for fertility control. To assess male commitment to pregnancy prevention, 83 male and 120 female students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, were questioned about their attitudes toward an oral contraceptive (OC) intended for their gender. The male respondents were presented with a description of a hypotheti…
