Moving Beyond Our Methodological Default: A Case For Mixed Methods, John Brent, Peter Kraska Nov 2010

Moving Beyond Our Methodological Default: A Case For Mixed Methods, John Brent, Peter Kraska

Peter Kraska

Within criminal justice/criminology exists a host of available research methods that generally default along qualitative and quantitative lines. Studying crime and justice phenomena, then, generally involves choosing one approach or the other. Although this binary tradition of qualitative vs. quantitative has predominated, our field's methodological infrastructure has recently demonstrated a willingness to adopt more inclusive practices. The purpose of this study is to discuss the nascent yet probable transformation of re-orienting our field toward a new paradigm of inclusiveness that acknowledges the use of mixed methods research as being both legitimate and beneficial. This paper examines the role methodological exclusivism …


Girls And Boys, Apples And Oranges: A Theoretically Informed Analysis Of Gender-Specific Predictors Of Delinquency, Charlene Taylor-Kindrick Nov 2010

Girls And Boys, Apples And Oranges: A Theoretically Informed Analysis Of Gender-Specific Predictors Of Delinquency, Charlene Taylor-Kindrick

Charlene Y. Taylor

A widely accepted tenet of corrections is the necessity of the effective assessment and the targeting of offender needs to reduce recidivism. In large part, current assessment tools and correctional practice have been based on theories and characteristics of male offending. However, some theorists argue that correctional assessment and intervention should be gender specific, based on the premise that the risk factors for delinquency and crime differ between males and females. This dissertation will identify and compare the risk factors for male and female juvenile offenders in large Midwestern city. Examining a sample of juveniles under various levels of community …

Trafficking In Bodily Perfection: Examining The Late‐Modern Steroid Marketplace And Its Criminalization, Peter Kraska, Charles Bussard, John Brent Dec 2009

Trafficking In Bodily Perfection: Examining The Late‐Modern Steroid Marketplace And Its Criminalization, Peter Kraska, Charles Bussard, John Brent

Peter Kraska

Illicit steroid and human growth hormone use by professional athletes has received significant media and political attention in the last five years. The resulting political pressure has compelled federal law enforcement to prosecute serious new control initiatives. To date, no academic research inquiring into the nature of this illicit industry exists. This study fills this void through the mixed methods approach—employing both ethnographic field research and quantitative content analysis. The ethnographic data demonstrate a fascinating late‐modern trafficking scheme where the central informant established an apartment‐based manufacturing operation, converting raw steroid chemical compounds ordered off the Internet into injectable solutions. Content …

Predicting Police Support For A Gang Prevention Program, Marc Ruffinengo Nov 2009

Predicting Police Support For A Gang Prevention Program, Marc Ruffinengo

Marc A. Ruffinengo

A gap is present in the police performance literature that exists due to the use of performance measures that are more in line with the reactive aspect of the police mission. The present study seeks to determine which individual officer and departmental characteristics are more indicative of tolerance and attitudinal compatibility with a proactive crime prevention program. Using surveys from police officers participating in the GREAT (Gang Resistance Education and Training) program, this study focuses on identifying officer and departmental characteristics that are indicative of tolerance and belief (i.e. support) in the potential for the program to reduce gang membership …
