In It For The Long Haul: Exploring Gender Dynamics In Former Prisoner– Family Relationships, Damian J. Martinez, Andrea Leverentz
In It For The Long Haul: Exploring Gender Dynamics In Former Prisoner– Family Relationships, Damian J. Martinez, Andrea Leverentz
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"This article contributes to the growing body of literature on the role of families of origin in the reentry of former prisoners by focusing on a group of young men of color recently released from prison. Our in-depth interviews with young men and selected family members highlighted the ongoing importance of their family relationships for providing important emotional and instrumental support. These relationships also are gendered. In relationships with female relatives, the former prisoners’ primary role was to be there for the women in the family and thereby demonstrate their love of family and their commitment to desistance from crime, …

Kenneth D. Tunnell, Once Upon A Place: The Fading Of Community In Rural Kentucky, Travis Linnemann
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"It is difficult to think of the rural apart from rolling hills and green fields that offer a respite from the city’s disquiet. Along with images of a bucolic rurality however, is a darker anti-idyll that has loomed in the social imaginary for centuries. While the narrative is timeless, the rural’s decline is something few among us have lived or even cared to witness first-hand. However, in the pages of Kenneth D. Tunnell’s Once Upon a Place, we travel to the disregarded landscapes of rural Kentucky and witness the history of its struggles. Like looking out the window of …

Expressing Strain: A Qualitative Evaluation Of The Testimonies Of Female Sex Offenders, Jennifer L. Klein, Danielle Tolson, Cathy Collins
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"For those convicted of a sexual offense, life on the registry is not an easy one. There is a great deal of stigma associated with these offenders despite the fact they served their sentences and were released back into society. Current research examines what life is like for female sex offenders whose information is listed on the Florida Sex Offender Registry. Using Robert Agnew’s General Strain Theory as a lens to examine the registry, this article will show the stress present in the lives of the registrants. Specifically, the article will address coping mechanisms, anger, and several unintended consequences of …

Beyond Basic Needs: Social Support And Structure For Successful Offender Reentry, Andrew S. Denney, Richard Tewksbury, Richard S. Jones
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"Barriers to successful reentry have long been identified as impeding an offender’s ability to successfully reenter society upon release from incarceration. As a result, research has long examined what shared obstacles the majority of offenders often face upon reentering society. Much of the research identifies factors such as poor education, obtaining/maintaining employment, stable housing, and transportation as common barriers to successful reentry. By using in-depth interviews with ex-offenders deemed as successful that were conducted by two respective non-profit agencies, the present study explores what significant requirements, if any, successful offenders perceive to need and/or have experienced as lacking while attempting …

"When I took on the role of editor for the new Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice & Criminology, I wanted to secure as many of the leading qualitative researchers as I could for the editorial board. While I did not know Jock Young personally, I knew of him and his reputation and writings, and I figured he was one who should be on the board. When I asked my book review editor, Kevin Steinmetz, now Dr. Steinmetz, who I should include on the board, the first two people he requested were Jock Young and Jeff Ferrell. I agreed and …
Success By The Plateful: Rates Of Successful Vocational Training In Adjudicated Youth, Rebecca Swarm
Success By The Plateful: Rates Of Successful Vocational Training In Adjudicated Youth, Rebecca Swarm
Collection of Engaged Learning
The United States has one of the highest rates of juvenile incarceration in the world. Once sentenced to a detention center, it is increasingly likely that a person will spend the rest of their lives rotating in and out of the correctional system due to high recidivism rates. This cycle is not only a financial burden on the state and federal systems but it is also harmful to incarcerated individuals, families, and neighborhoods. Youth Village Resources of Dallas and Café Momentum attempt to break this cycle of recidivism through vocational training pre-and post adjudication. Positive changes in attitudes and beliefs …

Obituary: Unapologetic Irreverence: The Life And Legacy Of William “Jock” Young (1942-2013), Robert Donald Weide
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"I first met my dear friend and mentor Jock Young as a doe faced graduate student, “full of it,” as he would have probably described me at the time. It was a quality he apparently admired in me, unlike many of my other academic mentors. Our dear friend, colleague and another cherished mentor, David Charles Brotherton, made the introduction and while Jock shook my hand, he gave me the cock-eyed look of a madman as he peered into my soul, remarking to David with a deviant smirk, “Oh look, we have another trouble maker here!” Well it takes one to …

Conceptualizing Social Recovery: Recovery Routes Of Methamphetamine Users, Miriam Boeri, David Gibson, Paul Boshears Europäische Universität Für Interdisziplinäre Studien (The European Graduate School)
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"The goal of our qualitative study was to gain a phenomenological understanding of routes to recovery from problematic drug use. In-depth interviews and drug histories were collected from 50 former methamphetamine users recruited from a U.S. metropolitan suburb who identified as having had problematic use of this drug in the past. Transcripts of the audio-recorded interviews were coded for common themes regarding types of recovery strategies or tools employed on the route to recovery. The common strategies used in all routes for recovery from problematic methamphetamine use were social in nature and did not necessarily include the cessation of all …

Heith Copes & Mark R. Pogrebin (Eds.), Voices From Criminal Justice: Thinking And Reflecting On The System, Joshua B. Hill
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"The introductory criminal justice “reader” is a difficult text to get right. The material should not be too advanced for the student (most likely a first-year undergraduate student) to understand, but also cannot oversimplify the topic and risk either insulting students or not conveying an appropriate sense of the complexity of the criminal justice system. Voices from Criminal Justice: Thinking and Reflecting on the System, a new compilation of readings published by Routledge and edited by Heith Copes and Mark Pogrebin, attempts to thread this needle in an interesting way by framing the book as a series of perspectives …
Examining The Death Penalty Insider Perspective: Capital Bench & Bar Interviews, Sherri Dioguardi
Examining The Death Penalty Insider Perspective: Capital Bench & Bar Interviews, Sherri Dioguardi
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 27 death penalty insiders (9 capital judges, 9 prosecutors and 9 defense attorneys) across three states. Prior research examined whether knowledge of capital punishment correlates with death penalty support (the Marshall Hypothesis). While prior research focused on opinions of laypeople, this study interviewed those with direct, hands-on experience to explore the knowledge-based, insider perspective. The majority (80%) of interviewee-respondents did not believe the death penalty is necessary in light of Life without the Possibility of Parole as an available sentencing option, and 62% did not support capital punishment. Qualitative data analysis reveals a wealth …
An Exploratory Examination Of A Prison Disciplinary Process: Assessing Staff And Prisoner’ Perceptions Of Fairness, Ann Marie Rocheleau
An Exploratory Examination Of A Prison Disciplinary Process: Assessing Staff And Prisoner’ Perceptions Of Fairness, Ann Marie Rocheleau
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
There has been scant research on how prison disciplinary processes work in comparison to the myriad of studies on individual, situational, and prison-level factors associated with prison misbehavior. This exploratory research delved into staff and prisoners’ perceptions of a prison system’s disciplinary process. Using in-depth interviews with 25 staff and 25 prisoners as well as direct observation of classification and disciplinary hearings, this research primarily focused on perceptions of fairness. It uncovered those features of the disciplinary process that prisoners and some staff assessed as problematic and unfair. These included: the nature, consistency, and investigation of disciplinary reports, the use …
Duran, Robert J., Gang Life In Two Cities: An Insider’S Journey, Robert Donald Weide
Duran, Robert J., Gang Life In Two Cities: An Insider’S Journey, Robert Donald Weide
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"In his newly published book, former gang member and probation officer Robert J. Duran provides both a compelling comparative ethnography of gang life in two middle American cities, Denver, Colorado and Ogden, Utah, as well as a needed critical analysis of both the historical and contemporary roles of colonial oppression and law enforcement practices and policies that have contributed to the formation and perpetuation of gang identities in the barrios of those cities. Although neither cites the other’s work, I think it is fair to cast Duran’s book as a counterpart to Michelle Alexander’s celebrated work The New Jim Crow …
Howard S. Becker, Outsiders: Studies In The Sociology Of Deviance, Kenneth D. Tunnell
Howard S. Becker, Outsiders: Studies In The Sociology Of Deviance, Kenneth D. Tunnell
Qualitative Criminology (QC)
"While recently reviewing a manuscript submission for a sociology journal and noticing Becker’s (1963) appearance in the body of the text, I discovered, when skimming the references, that the citation read “The Outsiders.” I remember wondering just how familiar the authors may have been with Outsiders or if they had actually read it – given that they got the title wrong. After all, Outsiders has become one of those books that simply must be cited. And, with growing interest among younger scholars in field research, deviant groups, cultural criminology and inductive analysis, Outsiders has become symbolic of good work that …
The Effects Of Cultural And Social Capital On College Choice: An Examination Of The Differences Between Latino Students And Their Racial/Ethnic Peers, Evelyn Garcia
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
Latino college students are the fastest growing minority segment in the United States. College choice has been the focus of many research studies; however the Latino student is different. They are different with respect to their college going behaviors and ultimately baccalaureate degree attainment. They enroll at two year institutions at higher rates and they also have lower rates of baccalaureate degree attainment as compared to their Asians, African American and White counterparts. In order to inform policy in a changing environment, the research community must examine the Latino student and determine which behaviors are associated with attendance at a …
Pathways From Caregiver Problematic Substance Use To Child Harm: A Secondary Data Analysis Of The National Survey Of Child And Adolescent Well-Being Ii, Kristen D. Seay
Pathways From Caregiver Problematic Substance Use To Child Harm: A Secondary Data Analysis Of The National Survey Of Child And Adolescent Well-Being Ii, Kristen D. Seay
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
Caregiver problematic substance use is a prevalent problem within the child protective services (CPS) system that is associated with negative outcomes for children. Utilizing path analysis models, this dissertation deepens our understanding of the direct and indirect (mediating and moderating) pathways from caregiver problematic substance use to indicators of child harm in two CPS populations: all families investigated for maltreatment (Aim 1) and a sub-group of families in which the children remained in the home after the investigation (Aim 2). Data for these analyses came from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being II (NSCAW II), a landmark, longitudinal …

When Counting Is Inadequate: The Failure Of Quantitative Measures To Demonstrate True Impacts Of Service-Learning Projects, Jack Atherton
When Counting Is Inadequate: The Failure Of Quantitative Measures To Demonstrate True Impacts Of Service-Learning Projects, Jack Atherton
Academic Summit
Since the degree in Unified Public Service Administration was created, seniors in the capstone course have been encouraged to engage in service-learning projects, bringing together aspects of core curriculum, producing a product available for use, and benefiting the public safety of communities in the state, and serving the population as a whole. Traditional measures of service-learning activities are generally quantitative and do not reflect the merit and benefit of these student endeavors. This project examines through illustrations of current and past student projects, the shortcomings of current measures used to evaluate service-learning participation, and covers qualitative measures of evaluation that …

Crime And Poverty In Detroit: A Cross-Referential Critical Analysis Of Ideographs And Framing, Jacob Jerome Nickell
Crime And Poverty In Detroit: A Cross-Referential Critical Analysis Of Ideographs And Framing, Jacob Jerome Nickell
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines how the relationship between crime and poverty is rhetorically constructed within the news media. To this end, I investigate the content of twelve news articles, published online, that offered coverage of crime in the city of Detroit, Michigan. I employ three methods in my criticism of these texts: ideographic analysis, critical framing analysis, and an approach that considers ideographs and framings elements to be rhetorical constructions that function together. In each phase of my analysis, I developed ideological themes from concepts emerging from the texts. I then approached my discussion of these findings from a perspective of …
