Familiarity and Support
Objective Opioid misuse is a public health crisis in the United States, leading to high rates of addiction, overdose, disease, and death. There are strategies to reduce the harmful consequences associated with opioid use. Harm reduction strategies (HRS) are part of a broader, comprehensive approach to addressing the opioid crisis. By studying and implementing these strategies, communities can develop a more holistic approach to address the comple…
Locked and Unloaded
The objectives of this study were to analyze the prevalence of firearm safety training and secure gun storage practices among American gun owners. We used nationally-representative survey data to estimate the impact of previously untested predictors of secure firearm storage. Findings show that older gun owners, gun owners living in metropolitan statistical areas, and low-SES gun owners are less likely to use secure firearm storage methods. Gun o…
The fear is real (and personal)
Examining concern regarding opioids is highly salient given the risk such drugs present to the public. Relatedly, there is a need to understand the experiences of those who have family members struggling with substance use disorder (SUD), particularly opioid use disorder (OUD). Drawing on Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) survey data, this study explores four research questions. First, what proportion of respondents believe that the U.S. is experien…
Challenging public stigma
Background Opioid-related stigma can affect the health and recovery of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). As such, campaigns to reduce stigma are needed. We evaluated Life Unites Us (LUU), a comprehensive social media campaign to reduce public stigma of opioids and those who use them, 12 months after campaign launch.Methods A cross-sectional web survey of 1,045 people was used to assess differences in public stigma by exposure to LUU. Su…
Perceived Dangerousness Mediates Punitive Attitudes Toward Sex Offenders
The current study used an experimental vignette ( n = 1,093) to examine the effects of perpetrator sex and age, and victim sex and age, on simulated juror sentencing recommendations for individuals convicted of sexual offenses (ICSO). Path analyses were used to see if differences in punitive attitudes could be explained by perceptions of dangerousness participants attached to experimentally manipulated variables, as hypothesized by attribution th…
Addiction Frameworks, Social Stigma, and Nimby Syndrome
Scholars have argued that stigma of opioid use disorder (OUD) is a significant barrier to implementing evidence-based responses to the opioid crisis, including the use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). They have also documented a relationship between addiction frameworks and support for punitive responses to substance use. Using a representative sample of Pennsylvania residents ( N = 1,033), the current study synthesizes this literat…
Examining Sex- and Sexuality-Based Bias in Punitive Attitudes Toward Offenders Convicted of Intimate Partner Crimes
This experimental vignette study used nationally representative survey data ( n = 841) to examine the effects of perpetrator sex and sexuality and victim sex on simulated juror punitivity and sentencing recommendations for individuals convicted of aggravated assault and domestic abuse. Results show participants recommended longer sentences and higher fines for male than for female offenders, and for those who victimized women than for those who v…
Opioid Use Disorder Stigma and Support for Harm Reduction in Rural Counties
Background: The opioid crisis is a public health emergency in the United States, particularly in rural Pennsylvania. Stigma in rural communities is a treatment barrier and impacts harm reduction programming availability.Objectives: The current study utilized an observational, cross-sectional design to examine latent subgroups of stigma and differences in support for harm reduction strategies (i.e., safe injection facilities, syringe services prog…
Emotional Exhaustion and Turnover Intentions among Counselors in Rural Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs
Counselor turnover is a serious problem for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs, especially in rural areas. This study examined the relationship between workload, workplace environment, and emotional exhaustion on turnover intentions among SUD treatment counselors in rural Pennsylvania. An online, anonymous survey was administered to rural SUD treatment counselors in Pennsylvania between October and December 2020. Completed surveys fr…
The cultural embeddedness of academic books on knowing, feeling, and queering video games
Notes1 Add to this, the rising "gamification" of services and products has rather forcefully ensured that whether we perceive ourselves as gamers or not is largely irrelevant (see Hamari, Koivisto, and Sarsa 2014 Hamari, J., J. Koivisto, and H. Sarsa. 2014. Does gamification work? A literature review of empirical studies on gamification. In Proceedings of the Forty-Seventh Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, ed. R.H. Spragu…
First Responders’ Views of Naloxone
BACKGROUND: Prior work has suggested that first responders have mixed feelings about harm reduction strategies used to fight the opioid epidemic, such as the use of naloxone to reverse opioid overdose. Researchers have also noted that provider-based stigma of people who use opioids (PWUO) may influence perceptions of appropriate interventions for opioid use disorder (OUD). This study examined first responders' perceptions of naloxone and the rela…

Target Congruence as a Means of Understanding the Risk of Bullying Victimization among Multicultural Family Youth in South Korea
This study used data from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) to apply propositions found in target congruence theory (TCT) to self-reported bullying victimization experienced by multicultural family youth living in South Korea. Results from a sample of 1,443 multicultural family youth show that indicators of target vulnerability (e.g., depression and acculturative stress) and target antagonism (e.g., Korean ability and perceptions t…
Does Perceived Cultural Discrimination Influence Immigrants’ Perceptions of the Police? Evidence from Married Immigrant Women Living in South Korea
Although policing scholars have discussed possible relationships between discrimination and perceptions of the police, assessing the impact of perceived cultural discrimination on perceptions of the police among immigrants is virtually non-existent and deserving of empirical scrutiny. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by examining the effect of perceived cultural discrimination on perceptions of the police using a sample of 1…
The “Guns on Campus” Study
Course-based undergraduate research experiences, or CUREs, have been shown to promote equitable participation in undergraduate research, an opportunity with potent benefits for first-generation and underrepresented minority students. Yet, CUREs are employed disproportionately within STEM fields, and among upperclassmen, despite evidence of their positive effects for lower-level, social science, and humanities students. The project described herei…

Social Concern as a Means of Understanding the Risk of Workplace Deviance
Agnew recently conceptualized social concern theory has started to gain empirical attention. However, none of the previous tests have applied social concern theory to deviance unique to the workplace. This dearth in the literature is likely partly due to the comprehensive nature of the theory and lack of concise measurement tools. The current study sought to help fill these gaps in the literature by using a modified version of Shadmanfaat et al.'…
Explaining Fear of Identity Theft Victimization Using a Routine Activity Approach
The current study aims to estimate and explain citizens’ fear of identity theft victimization by examining data collected from a nationally representative sample of South Korean residents. Specifically, we compared participants’ levels of fear of identity theft victimization with fear of other types of crime using paired-samples t-tests. We found that fear of identity theft victimization is significantly higher than fear of other types of crime. …

The Impact of Occupational Characteristics and Victimization on Job Burnout Among South Korean Correctional Officers
Prior research on correctional officer burnout has focused almost exclusively on the effects of job characteristics. To date, this line of inquiry has largely failed to consider one important factor associated with the unique nature of prison work—direct exposure to interpersonal victimization (e.g., individuals in custody-on-officers). This article uses data from 269 correctional officers working in four South Korean facilities to examine the di…
Exploring Social Stigma toward Opioid and Heroin Users among Students Enrolled in Criminology, Nursing, and EMT/Paramedic Courses
The goal of the current study was to empirically assess social stigma toward opioid and heroin using persons with a sample of 743 students majoring in programs (i.e., criminology, nursing, and EMT/Paramedic) related to careers associated with first responders and healthcare providers. Consistent with the theoretical underpinnings of prior works, results from factor analyses revealed that there are four unique components of social stigma toward op…
Social integration and confidence in the police
Building on the insight of Durkheim, the current study examines the hypothesis that cross-national proxies for social integration explain variation in confidence in the police across different countries. Combining six sources of data from 84 nations with a total sample size of 122,330 respondents, the current research uses hierarchical generalised linear modelling (HGLM) logistic regression analyses to investigate the potential mechanism of socia…
