Abstract Bullying victimization has been recognized as a social issue facing a large proportion of America’s children and adolescents. Although important contributions to the knowledge base have been made regarding risk factors for bullying, little is known about whether a relationship between the potential victim’s race/ethnicity and their likelihood of bully victimization exists. Further, whether the factors that place persons at risk for bullying victimization are invariant across groups is unknown. The present study attempts to fill these voids in the literature by using a national sample and incorporating a more comprehensive list of predictors compared to what has been used in previous studies. Results indicate that risk factors for bullying are largely invariant across race and ethnicity.

Hispanic/Latinos are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. Using convenience sampling, the present study examined the lifetime and recent offending behavior of Hispanic/Latinos involved in community corrections in Miami, Florida. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Participants were mostly male (59.7%), less than 40 years old (84.1%), and almost half were of Cuban descent (48.5%). Women were less likely to manufacture or sell drugs than men (AOR=.42, p<.03), and more likely to report recent prostitution (AOR=7.34, p< .001) and stealing from houses or shops (AOR=2.68, p<.01). Central Americans were less likely to report alcohol and drug related offenses than Cubans. Findings suggest that criminality among Hispanic/Latinos may vary by gender and by sub-groups. Prevention programs should be tailored accordingly.

ABSTRACT Since 1972, U.S. female imprisonment has risen twice as fast as male imprisonment, with increased disparities between White females and women of color. Such disparities are particularly stark for drug crimes, for which Black and Latina women are increasingly imprisoned. This article examines the relationship between the war on crime and the pronounced rise in Black female imprisonment. An analysis of data covering 40 states from 1983–2008 indicates that although women are less likely than men to be incarcerated, nonviolent offenses, particularly drug crimes, are increasingly driving the growth in female imprisonment and growing the racial disparity in female imprisonment.

S. Smith
Andrea Smith’s Conquest: Sexual Violence an American Indian Genocide is a complex narrative that is centered on advocacy, global mobilization, violence, reproduction rights, environmental injustice, accountability, and reparations. The emphasis is on feminism, specifically Native women and their struggles within their own communities that can be directly linked to “the process of colonization, sexual violence, dehumanization and marginalizing” (xvii). The foreword by Winona LaDuke and the introduction are the outline for the book. The analysis is that Indian people are oppressed through colonization, racism, and discrimination by the dominant society using sexual violence as a tool. Smith attempts to eradicate the limitations we have put on conceptualizing sexual and gender violence by taking a holistic approach in understanding its connection with patriarchy, assimilation, and genocide. In Chapter 1, Smith defines Native women and women of color in general as “rapable” (p. 10). More importantly, she provides historical evidence of rape as a means of control used by white colonizers. By combining torture, mutilation, rape, and murder, it reinforced subjugation. Furthermore, this legacy can be seen in the statistics that show women of color are more likely to be victims of sexual assault, sexual violence, and human trafficking compared to white women (Australia Bureau of Statistics, 2015). In Chapter 2, Smith examines the role government-mandated boarding schools played in Native communities to further colonize or “civilize” children. These institutions perpetuated social control, patriarchy, sexual violence, psychological abuse, among other abuses (i.e., sterilization) that have been internalized by generations of Indian people. Furthermore, boarding school survivors have been marginalized due to the lack of accountability on the part of the United States government and churches. Subsequently, families were removed from their land and as a result, cultural and spiritual traditions were destroyed. Instead of taking a separatist view, Smith asserts that Native people and African Americans should be united in their efforts to receive reparations for what is owed to them. Most important, acts of genocide, slavery, and relocation to reservations are direct violations of their human rights. Environmental injustice and destruction of Indian land are regarded as another form of rape. For example, Aboriginals, Eskimos, Islanders in Hawaii, and Natives in Canada

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines 37 wrongfully convicted Black women. The cases were culled from electronic databases located at the Innocence Project, the Center on Wrongful Convictions, the Death Penalty Information Center, the National Registry of Exonerations and from the innocence database at forejustice.org in addition to newspaper and magazine articles. Prosecutorial misconduct and perjury by criminal justice officials constituted the 2 most important factors leading to wrongful convictions. Police misconduct was the 3rd most important factor, followed by ineffective assistance of counsel and insufficient evidence to support a conviction. The use of informants, false confessions, witness errors, and forensic errors were among the least common contributors. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also addressed.

ABSTRACT This study investigates perceptions of Latina juvenile offenders among juvenile probation officers, judges, psychologists, and other juvenile correctional decision makers. Using in-depth interviews with 62 juvenile justice professionals, this article examines how gender and culture are constructed and how such constructions can lead correctional decision makers to stereotypical and oftentimes punitive recommendations and responses. Overall, the article finds that (a) the majority of professionals felt that Latina offenders engaged more often in sexual promiscuity, gang membership, and violence in comparison to their non-Latina counterparts; (b) the majority of professionals felt frustration or antipathy toward working with Latina offenders; and (c) few interviewees could articulate an understanding of what gender-specific or culturally specific programming might entail for Latina girls, nor could they identify such options in their districts. We conclude with recommendations for improving juvenile justice services directed at Latina offenders.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to assess the association between family and social support, posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and coping styles among ultra-Orthodox Jewish battered women (BW) who chose to flee to a shelter. In all, 88 women took part in the study. Positive correlations were found between appealing to friends, shelter staff, professionals, or neighbors for help in stressful situations and the use of problem-focused coping. Positive correlations were also found between appealing to professionals for help in stressful situations and PTS symptoms and routine functioning difficulties. In addition, a positive correlation was found between PTS symptoms and emotion-focused coping. The findings indicate the resemblance between BW in Jewish ultra-Orthodox society and BW in Western society in general.

J. Janice
Dr. Roslyn Muraskin (Roz as we all called her) was a legendary national scholar who ignited others to excel in the discipline of criminal justice. Roz was a competent, consistent, and reliable colleague with an unprecedented commitment to work. She was a tower of strength and wisdom, and teaching was her passion. As an outstanding mentor, Roz successfully mentored students and junior faculty members, of various races, genders, cultures, and ethnicities. She was a transformational leader for women’s rights who hosted numerous workshops, lectures, forums, and networking opportunities on pay equity, sex discrimination, health and wellness, and financial investment strategies. Extending her work beyond the academy into the community, she founded the Long Island Women’s Institute (LIWI) in 1991 to encourage women to become successful leaders and to break the proverbial “glass ceiling.” Through both her scholarship and teaching, Roz made significant contributions to the disciplines of criminal justice and criminology. These contributions are nationally recognized and widely appreciated. The ramifications of her numerous publications are still felt today among young scholars. Her gifts as a teacher have been outstanding, and her abilities as a scholar have been remarkable. For these, she received numerous awards. Roz Muraskin was a person endowed with a sound judgment and exemplifies the highest ideals and standards of a professional. Her life symbolizes professional excellence and brilliance. Because of these qualities, each encounter with her strengthens the characters of others and enriches their experiences. All those individuals who have had the privilege and honor of working with her and learning from her will continue to remember her for her professional sacrifice, vision, and lifetime achievements. She was a cherished colleague, a scholar, and friend who is missed by many, but will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have known her. We miss her energy, creativity, and charismatic personality. On a personal level, she was incredibly kind, and I feel honored to have been one of the many beneficiaries of her generosity of spirit. So I thank

ABSTRACT The death penalty is used as a criminal sanction in 58 out of 193 United Nations countries across the globe, yet the vast majority of research on capital punishment views has been conducted on Western nations, particularly the United States. This study examined the level of death penalty support among college students from both India and the United States. U.S. students expressed greater support for capital punishment compared to their Indian counterparts. In addition, men in both countries were more likely to support the death penalty. The reasons for supporting or opposing capital punishment also varied by gender and nation. Men expressed greater support for reasons of retribution, deterrence, and incapacitation, whereas women were more likely to oppose capital punishment for the reasons of rehabilitation, innocence, and morality. There were differences by nation on rationales to support or oppose capital punishment. Except for incapacitation, Indian students were more polarized in their reasons to support or oppose the death penalty. The findings support the contention that gender and culture play a role in the capital punishment views of the respondents in this study.
