▼ SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY: UNDERAGE DRINKING, BLACK MARKET ASSOCIATIONS, SUBSTANCE USE AND DEVIANCE Heather Stewart 352-214-5097
[email protected] Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law Ronald L. Akers, Ph.D. Master of Arts August 2010 This research focuses on underage drinking, methods of obtaining alcohol while underage, and related deviance, and the applicability of Akers social learning theory in this context. Underage drinkers utilize black market associations, or persons they are not closely associated with/ strangers of legal drinking age, to procure alcoholic beverages (
Lanza-
Kaduce and Richards, 1989). This research examines black market associations made while obtaining alcohol illegally in relation to other black market associations, substance use, and deviance. Social learning theory is utilized as a framework within which these black market peer associations are examined, specifically whether or not they facilitate further deviance, and explicitly the extent to which they increase the likelihood of other black market deviance. Results indicated that having black market associations for alcohol was predictive of further black market associations, substance use and general deviance, but these relationships were diminished when entered into the equation with social learning variables.

▼ Research conducted on sexual offenders up until now has primarily focused on males. The research on their female counterparts is very limited and focuses mainly on the perpetration of the sexual offenses. Even less research has focused on the mandatory registration on a sex offender registry that accompanies nearly every sex offense conviction. The current research builds on the limited previous research and examines the perceptions of those women who are on the
Florida Sex Offender Registry. A mail-out survey was sent to every eligible female sex offender residing in
Florida as of March, 2010. Questions were asked testing strain, reintegrative shaming and defiance theories. The proposed hypotheses predict that the longer a female sex offender remains on the registry, levels of strain will increase, the amount of shame felt will increase and levels of defiance felt will also increase.

▼ The debate over how to balance the concepts of judicial independence and accountability has become more controversial with the recent choice of many countries to adopt judicial councils for administrative and disciplinary purposes in the courts. Both of these concepts are considered vital to a well-functioning judiciary in a democratic context, but there is much disagreement over how best to balance them. Judicial councils are attempts to do so, but their installation has added many more questions to what are concepts already in need of stronger definition. Brazil?s Conselho Nacional de Justic cedillaa (National Council of Justice, or NCJ) is a recent example of a debate over these two concepts and a country?s attempt to balance them through a judicial council. The NCJ is a 15-member body composed of judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and civil servants selected by their respective courts and branches. It is endowed with administrative, budgetary, and disciplinary functions with jurisdiction over the national court system, that is: some federal courts, state courts, and specialized courts. The NCJ was a highly controversial proposal because it included members from outside the judiciary. Supporters argued that this would increase democratic values and society?s role in the judiciary, while detractors contended that this would violate judicial independence. This study analyzes the concepts of judicial independence and accountability both as abstract and concrete concepts in the Brazilian case. Using data collected through secondary source research and qualitative interviewing of key actors familiar with the NCJ, it identifies the narratives of both sides of the debate in order to infer more information on how the concepts of judicial independence and accountability are perceived in the Brazilian case. This study clarifies the definitions of these two concepts and suggests possible operationalizations based on the Brazilian case. As judicial councils are becoming more predominant, understanding the tension between judicial independence and accountability is vital to understanding how the judicial system works and how it can be reformed. The conclusions of this study are that perceptions of judicial independence and accountability are dependent upon local conditions in cases. In Brazil, these perceptions depended upon a loose or strict interpretation of the separation of powers doctrine as defined by Article Two of the 1988 Constitution. A looser interpretation meant support for the NCJ with outside membership, while a stricter interpretation meant opposition due to the belief that this violated judicial independence. The second conclusion is that these two concepts are intrinsically connected, meaning that there are a number of elements that each share and that define the tension between them. Finally, the NCJ could act as a model of operationalization for accountability as many countries have adopted judicial councils with similar structures and duties. These conclusions are important due to their implications for the…

▼ Work release programming is designed to serve as a bridge from incarceration to the labor market. Popular in the mid-20th century, work release programs have waned significantly over the last three decades with the advent of the Get Tough on Crime movement which put less emphasis on rehabilitation. Where work release still exists, it is normally prison-based. Only a few thousand jail inmates nationwide are given the opportunity to take part in such programming.

▼ There is a unique stigma associated with sexual offenders living in the community. Once their sentence is completed, sexual offenders are required to register with the state and to have their personal information made available on a public website. Community members are wary of these perceived predators as threats to their children and as a possible disruption to the innocent lives their children lead. Not all sex crimes are the same but all sex offenders are commonly treated and perceived as the same, no matter their crime. Many individuals (the general public, politicians, etc.) have one perception of sexual offenders, which might not match the reality of their crimes. The literature surrounding community perceptions of sexual offenders is limited by continuously growing. The current study examines the perceptions of a national sample of participants who have children and who do not. This direct comparison of groups adds to the literature by bringing the protective nature of parenthood into play. Previous research has shown that sex offenders do not have high rates of reoffending, but there is fear and stigma associated with these individuals. This dichotomy, between actual rates of recidivism and public fear of reoffending, will serve as the focal point of the paper, in trying to find the cause of these misconceptions. When dealing with social issues such as perceptions and stigma, many factors could potentially influence an individual's perceptions, including their status as a parent, their socio-economic status, their previous experiences with sex offenses and other crimes and exposure to the media. Furthermore, this project will examine the subtlety present in the comparison of sex offenders and sex predators. A random assignment of those terms will be applied to the study to examine which terms is more salient to participants, and whether or not they are able to distinguish the difference in the two terms. All of these factors will be tested in conjunction with registry knowledge, moral panic measures, legal support and accuracy to determine just how important and concerning the presence of sexual offenders is in the eyes of the general citizenry.

▼ Given that no social group is perhaps more criminogenic than the youth gang and the life-course perspective is currently the leading approach in criminology (Esbensen & Melde, 2011), it is surprising to see that not many empirical studies have carefully incorporated the issue of gang membership into the life-course framework. A fundamental but largely unexplored issue is to understand how gang member's life evolves in a longitudinal sense. In particular, it is not yet clear how heterogeneity in gang membership develops over the life-course. Against this background, using data from the Rochester Youth Developmental Study (RYDS), this dissertation addresses four main research issues. First, four developmental trajectories of gang membership are identified with Nagin's (2005) semi-parametric group-based modeling technique. There is strong evidence of within-individual change in probabilities of gang affiliation across the life course. Second, informed by Thornberry and Krohn's (2001; 2005) interactional theory of delinquency, different sets of risk factors are linked to distinct developmental pathways of gang membership. Further support is found for Klein and Maxson's (2006) argument that identifying gang-specific risk factors is crucial for the development of gang control programs. Third, following Sampson and Laub (1993; Laub & Sampson, 2003), life turning events that redirect developmental pathways of gang membership are explored. Results from generalized trajectory group models indicate that the impacts of a) the birth of a first child and b) police contact/arrest as exogenous variables vary across trajectory groups. Last but not least, differential long-term consequences are observed for individuals following distinct gang membership trajectories. Adult role/status fulfillment failure and persisting ties with delinquent associates mediate the relationship between gang membership trajectories and later criminal offending in adulthood. Overall, the results emphasize the importance of moving beyond a dichotomy of "gang member" versus "not a gang member" and taking into account developmental heterogeneity in gang membership when designing and implementing gang prevention and intervention work. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are also discussed. ( en )

▼ Florida juvenile court prosecutors were interviewed via telephone to examine their decision making process as to whether to charge certain offenders in the juvenile justice system or the criminal justice system. Their comments were then explored in relation to the extant literature regarding both the reasoning behind and the effects of transfer. Prosecutors reported believing in both the rehabilitative and the surveillance control aspects of justice systems, with a stronger emphasis on surveillance and control in cases involving more serious offenses. They reported protection of the community as their primary goal but were unsure how to best accomplish that goal. Their opinions differed as to whether juveniles should be held as accountable for their crimes as adults. Generally agreeing that juveniles should be treated more leniently, they had concerns with lenient treatment in cases involving serious offenses. Prosecutors indicated that many serious and violent offenders are not likely to benefit from rehabilitative efforts. They also explained what factors they believe make a juvenile a danger for reoffending, as well as the factors that make him unlikely to benefit from rehabilitative efforts. The interviews and review of the extant literature suggest that prosecutors are not successful in increasing public safety when they transfer youths to criminal court, and that there may be even greater risk of reoffending when transfer occurs. Reasons for the failure of transfer to prevent and deter crime are discussed as is transfer?s inconsistency with the foundation of the juvenile justice system and research findings from both the developmental psychology and forensic assessment literature. Reason for the continued, though limited, use of transfer is provided with suggestions made as to how transfer can more effectively meet justice system goals while taking precautions to minimize the potential harms to transferred youths.

▼ Both early childhood physical aggression and the parental use of corporal punishment have been linked to numerous negative outcomes, including internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. While these two constructs have been linked to similar outcomes, there is also a well-established link between corporal punishment and aggressive behavior. It has been hypothesized that experiencing more frequent or more severe forms of corporal punishment leads to more negative outcomes. Social learning theorists argue that corporal punishment models aggressive behavior for children. The link between corporal punishment and aggression has been made, however, using primarily cross-sectional and/or retrospective techniques. Developmental researchers have examined physical aggression longitudinally, usually identifying three or four trajectories of aggressive behavior, with one group exhibiting persistently aggressive behavior over time. They assert that aggressive behavior begins earlier than modeling would have an impact. Despite the potential link between them, the bodies of research examining the development of aggressive behavior and the use of corporal punishment have been largely distinct. This thesis examines the association between corporal punishment and trajectories of aggressive behavior. Data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods is used to construct group-based trajectories. Two different measures of physical aggression both identify four trajectory groups: a low-stable group, a low-rising group or a modest group, a high-starting desisting group, and a high-rising group. The trajectories identified are consistent with existing developmental research. Multinomial logistic regression was attempted with several control variables, but due to a very small number of cases in the high-rising aggression groups, the models were oversaturated. Group profiles were created as an alternative method of examining the potential association of corporal punishment with trajectory group membership. Children in the high-rising aggression group were more likely to be male, black or Hispanic, and to experience less warmth and more hostility from their primary caregivers. These characteristics of the high aggression group are consistent with previous research. The results of the present research indicate that the average frequency of corporal punishment was higher in the high aggression group. Significance tests performed for differences between the high-rising group and other groups on these measures were statistically significant. Regarding type of corporal punishment, those children who were in the high aggression group experienced more slapping or spanking and pushing, grabbing, or shoving by their primary caregivers than children in other groups. These results were also statistically significant. Although a functional relationship could not be established here, the results of the present study support additional research examining both frequency and type of corporal punishment as predictors of membership…

▼ Research on the delinquency and criminal behavior of Latino youths in the U.S. has been limited. Even fewer studies have applied mainstream criminological theories to an all Latino sample. The current study addresses this research gap by applying Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) self-control theory to a large Latino sample composed of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other Latino subgroups residing in the city of Chicago. According to their theory, Gottfredson and Hirschi argue that individuals with low self-control are more likely to engage in criminal or analogous behaviors than individuals with high self-control. They argue that the source of low self-control is poor parenting at a young age. Thus, they posit that children whose parents do not properly socialize them will develop low self-control, inevitably leading to their involvement in a range of risky behaviors, such as criminal behavior. While their theory has received much research support, studies have rarely confirmed many of their major propositions using all minority samples. Using longitudinal data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), the relationship between family process variables, self-control, and delinquency among 1,031 Latino children and adolescents was examined. Results lend partial support to Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory. Low self-control was found to be a significant predictor of delinquent/criminal behavior across three different measures of such behavior. While parenting variables were significantly associated with low self-control, they were not found to be significant predictors of delinquency/criminal behavior. Some interesting subgroup differences were found between Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other Latino subgroups and are further discussed. Implication for theory and future research is also discussed.

▼ The construct of peer delinquency is of vital importance to the field of criminology. Having delinquent friends is one of the most consistent individual level predictors of one?s delinquency known to scholars. However, there has been considerable debate over how to measure the construct of ?delinquent peers.? Most notably, Gottfredson and Hirschi (1987; 1990) have criticized the use of a perceptual delinquent peer measure due to the concern that the measure the subject produces of delinquent peers is merely another measure of self-reported delinquency. Past measurement techniques of the peer delinquency construct typically request one research subject to report on the delinquency of an abstract group of friends. While this practice is quite common, it is largely unclear whether a research subject is capable of perceiving a measure of the delinquency of their peers that is in fact reflective of their peers? delinquency. The current study seeks to explore how to measure the delinquent peers construct and determine whether past measurement methods of peer delinquency have actually been tapping the construct intended. Four main findings are sought. The first asks if a perceptual peer delinquency measure produced by a subject is indicative of the peer?s self-reported delinquency. Second, which operationalizations of delinquency are most reflective of the peer?s self-reported delinquency? The third finding explores whether a subject?s measure of self-reported delinquency is the same as his or her perception of their friend?s delinquency. Finally, the last research question inquires as to whether the quality of the friendship between the friends moderates the level to which a subject can perceive their friend?s delinquency. Using original, dyadic, best friend data, it is found that a subject?s perception of a peer?s delinquency is only indicative of the peer?s self-reported delinquency under certain circumstances. To address Gottfredson and Hirschi?s concern, a subject?s self-reported deviance measure is strongly related to his/her measure of perceptual peer deviance, but not to the extent that they should be viewed as the same construct. The quality of the friendship does not appear to moderate the level to which a subject can perceive his/her peer?s criminality. Implications for criminological theory and measurement of the delinquent peers construct are discussed in detail. ( en )

▼ False confessions are one of the leading causes of wrongful conviction in the United States. Confession evidence can be extremely damaging in the criminal courtroom and jurors are more willing to convict based on the presence of a confession than eyewitness evidence and character testimony (Kassin & Neumann, 1997). However, to date, no research has examined whether jurors notice variations in the quality of confession evidence based on whether the confession is consistent (high quality) or inconsistent (low quality) with the crime facts. In our pilot study, mock jurors were questioned about their verdict after reading a trial vignette in which a suspect’s account did or did not match the facts of the crime. Jurors did not view the confession differently or render largely different decisions based on whether the confession was consistent or inconsistent with other evidence. Researchers have suggested that expert testimony could help educate jurors on the dangers and causes of false confessions (Leo & Liu, 2009). Past research has also shown that the expert testimony can cause jurors to become more skeptical or sensitize jurors to variations in evidence. In the current study, jurors read a trial in which we varied the presence of expert testimony, whether the defendant confessed, and whether that confession was consistent with other trial evidence. The expert testimony did not sensitize jurors to variations in the confession’s quality; instead, jurors were not affected by the expert testimony and were unable to spot a bad confession on the basis of inconsistencies.

▼ FAMILY EXPERIENCE, ATTACHMENT TO PARENTS, AND LOW SELF-CONTROL IN DATING VIOLENCE IN THE U.S. AND KOREA MiRang Park 352-262-0949 Department of Sociology, Criminology and Law & Society Supervisory chair: Ronald Akers Co-char: Angela Gover Ph.D May, 2009 Although many studies have been done about dating violence, only a few researchers have developed theoretical conceptualizations of factors such as these in dating violence (Sellers, 2005; Follingstad et al, 1999; Riggs and O Leary, 1989; Luthra and Gidycz, 2006). This dissertation moves beyond these to draw on three prominent general theories of crime and deviance for its theoretical framework to understand the effects of early family experience with violence (social learning), current attachment to parents (social bonding), and self-control. The purpose of this study is to link theoretically relevant variables that are linked in some way to the respondents family of origin that may account for the likelihood of perpetration of or victimization by dating violence in two different cultures. In using the same survey instrument for two countries, this study tested whether theoretical explanations developed in Western society could be applied to Eastern society. A sample of 1,400 young adults attending a
university in Korea and a sample of 1,500 young adults attending a
university in America were used in this dissertation. Findings indicate that experience of victim of child abuse (social learning), low self-control (self-control), serious dating relationship and risky sexual behavior have significant effects on both the perpetration and victimization of dating violence in both countries. Self-control has stronger effects in the American, and being the victim of violence in the home has more significant effects in the Korean sample. ( en )

▼ The criminal justice system has dramatically grown in the United States over the past several decades. The use of the prison system to incarcerate has been one of the primary control mechanisms since the early 1970s, immediately after many civil rights changes. The system of mass incarceration has entailed wide and continuous racial disparities which maintain inequality across social institutions such as the economy and political participation ? the institutions in which the civil rights movement sought to secure equality. The current study attempted to examine the association between crime control and racial residential segregation, another major social institution targeted by the civil rights movement. This research links theoretical discussions on race relations, law and crime control, and residential segregation to advance our understanding of the reciprocal relationships among these institutionalized processes.

▼ Probation is a court-ordered disposition that places the adjudicated offender under the control, supervision and care of correctional or court supervision in lieu of incarceration, while the probation conditions form a contract with the court by which an offender must abide in order to remain in the community (Petersilia, 1997, 1998). Though current estimates place over a million individuals on probation, the research is limited on the specific probation conditions imposed and the perceptions and effects of those conditions. Research focused on comparing offenders? perceptions of various type of criminal justice sanctions suggests that offenders? experiences with the criminal justice system, as well as their personal characteristics, influence their perceptions of the punitiveness or severity of criminal sanctions (May & Wood, 2010). The purpose of this research is to conduct research in an area that has been traditionally ignored by researchers.

▼ Traditional criminal justice responses to violations of the law remain paramount in efforts to control violence. Two competing theoretical propositions predict opposite effects of official intervention on crime. Specific deterrence theory suggests that official intervention results in the reduction of criminal behavior, whereas labeling theory suggests that it ultimately results in the amplification of criminal behavior. Using this theoretical backdrop, scholars have attempted to discern whether deterrence or labeling theory is correct which has resulted in mixed and inconclusive empirical findings. More recently, scholars have acknowledged that both labeling and deterrence theories may be relevant explanations of behavior since the effects of sanctions may be contingent on offender characteristics and may also differ in the short-term and long-term. However, key methodological problems and exacting data requirements have resulted in few empirical studies that have been able to generate much needed practical knowledge about how best to control violence with traditional criminal justice measures.

▼ Researchers and police officers have advocated for videotaping interrogations to lift the "veil of secrecy" off police procedures (Geller, 1992). However, the camera angle from which an interrogation is recorded can change how viewers rate the voluntariness of a suspect's confession. Specifically, a confession is seen as more voluntary when the camera is focused more on the suspect than the interrogator, as opposed to focusing on both the suspect and the interrogator or solely on the interrogator. However, even with an equal-focused perspective, a suspect who is a member of a social out -group draws viewers' attention, which nearly eliminates the benefit of the equal-focus camera angle. This out-group salience bias was found against suspects who are members of a social out-group due to their race or sexual orientation. Study one examined whether an out-group salience bias was present when the suspect being interrogated was a young juvenile or an older juvenile versus an adult. Past work on the out-group salience bias due to suspect race has manipulated the uniqueness of the out-group status of the suspect by varying whether the suspect is of the same or different race as the interrogator. The second study (Study 2) manipulated the uniqueness of the out-group status of the suspect by varying the age proximity of the viewer to the suspect. ( en )

▼ This purpose of this study is to test the Social Structure and Social Learning model(SSSL) model of crime and deviance on substance use behaviors among adolescents proposed by Akers. This study attempts to gauge the validity and cross-cultural genealizability of the SSSL model by utilizing a sample of 1,021 high school students drawn from a non-American cultural setting, South Korea. The data for this dissertation consist of self-reported individual-level survey data including measures of all of the main explanatory variables found in social learning, social bonding and self-control theories. The analysis therefore includes a comparison of the effects of the social learning variables in the SSSL with the effects of social bonding and self-control variables in expanded models. Also this study measures all four social structural components of the SSSL model with measures drawn from census data in Busan (formerly Pusan) in South Korea. To examine this
multi-level data, several Hierarchal Linear Models (HLM) and Hierarchical Generalized Models (HGLM) are used. The chief hypothesis to be tested is that the effects of the structural variables on adolescent substance use are mediated by social learning variables and more so than they will be mediated by bonding/self-control variables. The findings from the analyses provide supportive evidence for the SSSL model. Social learning variables substantially mediate the impact of social structural components on adolescents substance use (alcohol, depressants, and tobacco). On the other hand, social bonding and self-control variables do not mediate the relationship between social structural influence and individual substance use behaviors as much as social learning variables do. Rather, social bonding and self-control variables appear to be moderated by the social structural variables. The social learning variables have significant and greater mediation effects compared with the effects of
social bonding and self- control variables. Overall, this study found support for the validity and generalizability of the SSSL model to a non-Western society. The contributions, limitations, and implications of the study for future research are presented. ( en )

▼ CHINAThis dissertation uses data collected from a birth cohort born in 1973 in the Wuchange district of China. Elements of Hirschi’s social bonding theory and Burgess and Akers’ social learning theory (specifically the presence of delinquent peers) were used as independent variables and offender status and deviance status were used as the dependent variables. In this cohort there were only 81individuals who were identified as delinquent. The sample used in this analysis consists of the offenders and 81 other individuals who were matched based on a short list of social criteria. Analysis show support for most social bonding elements. Variables relating to the presence of delinquent peers produced results that are surprising based on the previous literature. Some support is found for social bonding theory and some support was also found for the effects of peers. But the support for social bonding theory is more mixed and weaker than typically found in previous research. The same is true for peer variables, and there is one finding on peer effects, rarely seen in previous research, that indicates that differential association with deviant peers is related to the respondents more conforming behavior. This is opposite from expectation based on social learning theory. The relevance of these findings for the theories and future research is discussed. ( en )

Applying a Therapeutic Jurisprudence Perspective to the DOJ's Use of Deferred Prosecution Agreements for Corporate Offenders.

▼ Over the past two decades, the Department of Justice has steadily increased its use of deferred (DPA) and non-prosecution (NPA) agreements in criminal cases against corporations. While the legalities of these agreements have been discussed extensively in numerous major law journals, the shift in the handling of corporate offenders has largely escaped the attention of the criminology community. This paper seeks to assess whether DPAs are more effective in reducing the collateral consequences of corporate punishment and preventing reoffending among corporate offenders than traditional criminal sanctions. The assessment utilizes the therapeutic jurisprudence perspective—an approach to studying criminal justice practices and policies which focuses on the extent to which a justice-related action produces therapeutic or anti-therapeutic consequences for the offender and other persons impacted by the outcome. The therapeutic jurisprudence approach, which has never previously been applied to a policy related to corporate offending, first involves an examination of existing research in related areas to develop hypotheses as to whether the justice-related action - here the use of DPAs - is therapeutic. The non-empirical analysis is then followed by an empirical analysis testing these same assumptions. An examination of criminological theory and research related to the various components of DPAs, including deterrence, rational choice, organizational theories, procedural justice, and restorative justice, suggests that this practice is therapeutic on several levels. However, the empirical analysis, which assesses whether DPAs are related to a lower likelihood of subsequent criminal charges than criminal sanctions, finds no relationship between the two types of case disposition and recidivism. Discussion of the limitations of the research and suggestions for future research are provided. ( en )

▼ This research explores how human rights professionals and Thai citizens (who were affected by the war on drugs in 2003) understood what happened in terms of both domestic and human rights legalities. During the anti-drug campaign, the government relied on the rhetoric of ?kha-tad-ton,? to attribute a pattern of violence to drug dealers. It labeled anyone affected by the war on drugs as being involved with drugs. Eighteen aggrieved people and twelve human rights professionals were interviewed. The research employed active semi-structured interviews that were flexible enough for the respondents to present their own issues as well as to respond to questions prepared by the researcher. Because of official labels, victims were presumed to deserve their fate?they were presumed to be involved with drugs. To overcome the presumptions, the aggrieved had to prove that they were not involved with drugs. Their struggle for justice was limited to moving themselves back into the mainstream by securing a legal declaration that they were undeserving victims of the crackdown. Their experiences with the bureaucracy and the courts instructed them about domestic law and the underlying structure of justice in Thailand. They were constrained from pursuing justice against anyone who may have violated their rights. Their only ?possible? justice was to make a human rights claim to the National Human Rights Commission. By so doing the aggrieved took part in creating a human rights legality. This research identifies three schemas that human rights professionals used to invoke and apply the idea of human rights. The supplemental schema grafts human rights notions ?with? the domestic law to advance the individual interests of the aggrieved. The progressive schema pits the idea of international human rights ?against? the state action and its domestic legal practice. Finally, the transformative schema moves the idea of human rights ?outside? the realm of law. It challenges the social values and society more generally rather than the domestic law and the state specifically. The three schemas are not independent from each other but are related and can help explain how human rights awareness can be used to protect against abuses. ( en )

▼ This study analyzed the 12- and 15-year old cohorts from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) to examine self-reported substance use among 814 first, second, and third-plus generation immigrant youth. Differences in cigarette use, alcohol use, marijuana use, binge drinking, and substance use frequency were examined. The Intergenerational Cultural Dissonance (ICD) perspective (Choi, He, & Harachi, 2008) was used to try to understand the relationship between generational status and substance use. ICD often occurs when parents and children clash over cultural values and may also occur when a child's learning of American ways (i.e., English language, American food, American dress, American holidays, education system, labor market structure, health care system) and loss of the immigrant culture, outpaces that of their parents. Given this dissonance, or gap, between parent and child, parent-child conflict is likely to arise. Moreover, parent-child conflict has been shown to have negative consequences on youth behavior. Thus, the possible mediating role of parent-child conflict was examined in this study. Results from a series of multilevel models fail to support a mediation effect of parent-child conflict. The results, however, still suggest that parent-child conflict, particularly, psychological aggression to be significantly predictive of some types of substance use such as alcohol and cigarette use. Generational status fails to be a significant predictor of substance use in the multilevel models. However, another measure of acculturation, primary caregiver acculturation level does appear to be a significant predictor of some types of conflict and substance use. Overall, these findings are not in line with past studies that find significant generational differences across substance use. Future studies should continue to explore whether generational differences exist across a variety of youth behavior while controlling for theoretically and empirically relevant variables. ( en )

▼ This dissertation examines the effect of democratization and legitimacy of law and legal authorities on victimization among individuals in 12 Latin American countries, using data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP). Much research in Latin America either focuses on individual countries within the region or lumps a group of dissimilar countries together in order to examine trends and patterns of victimization. However, scholars agree that the political contexts of each country can be vastly different in many cases. Therefore, this dissertation also examines the differences among the countries with regard to legitimacy and democratization as well as the differences in victimization. Furthermore this dissertation compares results for individual victimization for each country to the aggregated results from responses of individuals across the 12 Latin American countries. ( en )

▼ Sutherland’s(1947) differential association theory has been, and will continue to be, oneof the most influential theories to criminology. At the heart of Sutherland’s theory is thehypothesis that deviant friends have a tremendous influence on criminalbehavior. This hypothesis is alsocentral to Akers’s (Burgess and Akers, 1966; Akers et al., 1979) sociallearning theory, which incorporates Sutherland’s theory into a more comprehensiveset of theoretical statements. Overall,research strongly and consistently supports the notion that having deviant anddelinquent friends is a robust correlate of criminal behavior (Pratt et al.,2010). While researchersare certainly aware that the behavior of friends influences the behavior ofactors, much less is known about whom the friends are that influence behavior,how this influence operates, and why this influence exists (Warr, 2002). Seeking to expand this knowledge, thisdissertation draws on theoretical statements of Sutherland and Akers to providea network-based, developmentally informed test of differential associationtheory. Using almost tenyears of developmental panel data from the Rochester Youth Development Study(e.g., Krohn et al., 2011), this study investigates relative change in crimeacross the three developmental periods of middle adolescence, late adolescence,and emerging adulthood. Measures ofSutherland’s modalities of association, the construct of friend deviance, andcontrols are implemented in a series of structural equation models to predict alatent construct of ‘crime proclivity,’ which is a construct derived fromitem-response modeling. Longitudinalcoefficient comparison tests are also implemented to investigate whether thetheoretically derived predictors have significantly different relationshipswith crime over the three developmental periods. Results demonstratethat higher amounts of friend deviance and informal multiplexity,operationalized as a measure of unsupervised time spent with three friends inan actor’s personal network, are consistently related to higher proclivitiesfor crime. Friend deviance and informalmultiplexity also are age-graded constructs, as they have significantly strongerrelationships with crime during adolescence than emerging adulthood. Other constructs, however, are found to notvary over the segments of the life-course investigated here, providing somesupport to the notion that the effects of theoretical predictors may functiondifferently at various developmental stages. Overall, the results emphasize the importance of evaluating theempirical support of extant theories of crime in a comprehensive, developmentallight. ( en )

▼ The incidence of sexual assault in correctional institutions is a topic that has been considered with great apprehension. Most research has been conducted over the last 25 years and addresses the issue from both inmate and prison staff perspectives. Unfortunately, law and correctional policy is only recently addressing the issue of sexual assault in correctional institutions, and has reached little consensus about the nature and prevalence of the problem. In addition, there is a paucity of research on how correctional staff view, respond to, and prevent the incidence of inmate-on-inmate sexual assault and victimization in prisons. The research that does address the nature of this problem in state prisons suggests that correctional staff believe that inmate-on-inmate sexual assault is not rare, and between 23-46% believe inmates who have previously consented to sexual acts deserve rape (Eigenberg, 1989). The effects of experiencing sexual assault in correctional institutions are serious, and include fear, anxiety, continued assault, suicide, and depression (Bowker, 1980, 1982; Lockwood, 1980). The topic has increased salience following the 2003 passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), which seeks to address the issue of sexual assault in prisons. The purposes of the law are to develop national standards to prevent, detect, and punish prison sexual assault; to increase data on its incidence; and to increase the accountability of prison officials (S. Res. 1435, 2003). It is important to note, however, that efforts at data collection regarding the incidence of sexual assault in prison are focused at a state prison level. To my knowledge, there is no literature that addresses how staff in neglected research realms, specifically jails, identify and manage the problem of inmate-on-inmate sexual assault and victimization. The purpose of this research is to conduct research in this area that has been traditionally ignored by criminologists and sociologists. ( en )

▼ Deviant criminal behavior has been widely studied in the United States and Europe as well as in many Asian countries. However, there has been much less attention to this problem in South American societies. Theories considered the most viable for explaining deviant behavior, whether serious or minor offending, have been developed, mainly, in America, but the question remains, to what extent are they also applicable to other societies. The main purpose of this study is to determine how well each of four major criminological theories, Social Learning, Strain, Self-Control, and Social Bonding, explains deviant behavior committed in the United States and Bolivia and how they compare to each other in explaining deviant behavior among college students. The research was designed to test the relative explanatory power and cross-cultural generalizability of the four core main criminological theories. The data for this investigation came from a sample of students in two universities located in two metropolitan areas of Bolivia and a sample of students on one large
university located in southeastern United States. Self-reports of law violations and other forms of deviant behavior were obtained from 807 respondents. The research instrument used, in all settings, was a 182-item questionnaire for the American sample and 181-item questionnaire for the Bolivian sample, containing questions regarding alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, cocaine, and other drug use, fighting, stealing, use of fake ID, speeding, and other deviant behaviors, and measures of variables as indicators of explanatory concepts from each of the four theories. For the purposes of this project only five dependent variables are used, alcohol, marijuana, other drugs use, hitting, and beating someone. The results indicate that social learning theory is supported as an explanation of substance use and violent behavior in both American and Bolivian samples. Mixed support was also found for social bonding, strain, and self-control theories. However, when placed in the same equation with social learning variables, most of the effects of variables from these theories disappear and do not operate as similarly as social learning variables in both societies. There is some evidence of cultural moderation of the social learning process in deviant behavior, but in an unexpected way. ( en )

▼ On May 10, 2007 three executives of the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma pleaded guilty in federal court to misleading doctors and patients about the risk of addiction and potential for abuse of the drug OxyContin?. It has been argued that the marketing of OxyContin?, introduced to the market in 1996, represents two significant failures ? first, of Purdue Pharma to properly attend to the public interest and, second, of the state regulatory structure to properly perceive the drug?s abuse liability. Some criminologists interested in studying social harm that follows from the nexus of state and corporate behavior have advanced the term ?state-corporate crime? to describe the phenomenon. This study uses a case study of OxyContin? and the operation of the abuse liability assessment system to consider the utility of the state-corporate crime paradigm. It argues that the OxyContin? case usefully fits within the general framework of state-corporate crime, but that the framework needs to be expanded beyond the state-corporation binary relationship, to include the influences of other influential actors in producing socially harmful outcomes.

University of
Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy DRUG AND ALCOHOL OFFENDERS IN A COLLEGE TOWN: EXPLORING MULTIPLE-AGENCY OFFICIAL DATA TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF OFFICIAL PROCESSING AND SANCTIONING ON FUTURE DELINQUENCY AND ACADEMIC CAREERS By David Nicolaus Khey May 2009 Chair:
Lonn Lanza-
Kaduce Major: Criminology The purpose of this dissertation is to learn more about the role of official processing for drug- and alcohol- related offenses in impacting academic careers and future offending of
university students. Of particular interest is the effect of sanctions on these outcomes. The study is conducted using two subpopulations entering the
University of
Florida in the summer or fall of 2004 as first-year students. The first subpopulation consists of those who were arrested in Alachua County,
Florida between 2004 and December 2007 for drug and/or alcohol offenses (N = 292). The second subpopulation consists of those who were officially referred to the
university for drug or alcohol violations during that time frame (N = 351). Various comparisons are made. The pattern of arrests for those in the first subpopulation is generally compared with the arrests of similarly aged persons in the county. Each of the two subpopulations of students is compared with students who have not been referred or arrested. The two subpopulations are also compared with each other to see if those referred differ from those arrested and to examine how
university or criminal justice processing/sanctioning affect academic performance (e.g., grades, change in academic performance, completion, dropout) and subsequent trouble with the
university and criminal justice authorities (e.g., additional referral or arrest). Several risk factors are examined in order unveil the importance of each in predicting negative changes in academic achievement and participation in future offending. Overall, this study revealed that in conjunction with lower levels of sanctioning, students processed solely by the
university system for drug and alcohol offenses express an increase in odds of completing their undergraduate degrees on-time. Yet the same process regardless of the level of sanctioning increased levels of recidivism. This study also revealed that criminal justice processing and sanctioning may offer advantages over the
university sanctioning system in improving academic performance after a student s first officially recognized offense. The results of this analysis suggest that
university administrators should take a closer look at how alcohol and drug offenders are processed by their internal judicial affairs system and by the criminal justice system. ( en )

▼ Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the
University of
Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE UTILITY AND EFFICACY OF HUMAN MATERIALISM AS AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH STRATEGY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SOCIOCULTURAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL HISTORY By Burton James Brown May 2010 Co-chair: Elizabeth A. Guillette Co-chair: Paul J. Magnarella Major: Anthropology The purpose of this dissertation is to answer four principal questions: 1) are sociocultural systems a proper domain for research utilizing a research strategy founded in scientific principles?; 2) does the anthropological research strategy, Human Materialism, posses sufficient analytical power to address questions arising in the research of sociocultural systems?; 3) can Human Materialism be extended or enriched to improve its efficacy and power in the study of sociocultural systems? 4) The answer to all four of these questions is yes. Human Materialism is an anthropological research strategy based in scientific principles and presenting a universal model of sociocultural systems. The universal model is comprised of an infrastructure, a structure, and a superstructure. The infrastructure is further divided into material, human, and social infrastructural components. The material infrastructure contains the modes of production, technology, tools among other elements. The human infrastructure contains demographic factors such as population, fertility and so on. The social infrastructure contains effective ownership and control of the forces of production as well as persons in positions of political and economic power and their positions. The social structure includes all social organization: family and kinship, as well as political and economic organization and so on. The social infrastructure overlaps and extends into the social structure. This is the location where the persons of political and economic power direct and control cultural transactions. The superstructure contains all ideological components including religion, philosophy, symbols, and rituals among other elements. The author has extended the concept of faction in Human Materialist analysis to include three types of factions and two statuses. Faction types are simple, bridging, or shifting according to their sociocultural role. Factions that are coerced into compliance with the persons of political and economic power are annexed factions. All other factions are voluntary. Simple factions are voluntary and may be tightly organized or loosely organized. Bridging factions are the most powerful type faction and possess enough political power to bridge over other factions and bind them to the persons of political and economic power who control the bridging faction. Shifting factions are those that shift their loyalty or political influence from one interest to another. Factions take on greater or lesser power and influence in sociocultural systems depending on their manipulation by political and economic leaders or by the mitigation…

▼ The present series of studies examined whether secondary stimulus characteristics can influence assessments of sexual interest of ID sex offenders. The majority of studies and clinical assessments on sexual interest of sex offenders have used stimulus materials that varied systematically by age and gender category, but not systematically across myriad other stimulus features such as body type, hair color or style, clothing type, and many others. We will refer to age and gender as primary stimulus characteristics (due to the emphasis in the literature and clinics), and we will refer to other stimulus features as secondary stimulus features. Study 1 used penile plethysmograph assessments to investigate whether arousal would occur differentially in the presence of stimuli within the same age and gender category that differed across secondary stimulus characteristics. Study 2 used paired stimulus preference assessments to investigate whether preference would be shown in the presence of stimuli within the same age and gender category that differed across secondary stimulus characteristics. The results of studies 1 and 2 show that secondary 10 stimulus characteristics must influence assessments of sexual interest because arousal occurred when age and gender were held constant. A limitation of Studies 1 and 2 was that, the specific stimulus characteristics influencing assessment results were unknown. Study 3 was an exploratory evaluation of the effects of specific stimulus features on outcomes of preference assessments evaluating sexual interest. Study 3A utilized paired stimulus preference assessments to evaluate the independent effects of four secondary stimulus characteristics (breast size, clothing type, waist-to-hip ratio, hair length). The results showed that breast size and clothing type influenced preference but hair length and waist-to-hip ratio did not. Because the results showed that preference was influenced by breast size and clothing type, it is possible that one of these stimulus characteristics might influence preference to a greater degree than the other. The purpose of Study 3B was to evaluate the relative preference of breast size and clothing type. Results showed that some secondary stimulus characteristics influence preference more than others; however, the effects of individual stimulus characteristics are idiosyncratic. ( en )
