Objectives

A meta-analysis was performed on seven studies in which a treatment program that directly addressed antisocial cognition in offenders was contrasted with a no-treatment or treatment as usual control group.

Methods

Pre-post administrations of antisocial cognition measures were available for 2 of the 7 studies and revealed medium reductions (Cohen’s d) in pro-criminal attitudes (Criminal Sentiments Scale) and very large reductions in criminal thinking (Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles) in participants receiving direct interventions for antisocial cognition. A meta-analysis of recidivism data gathered from all 7 studies then followed.

Results

Fixed effect and random effects meta-analyses produced pooled effect sizes (odds ratio) of 0.648–0.657. There was no evidence of study heterogeneity or publication bias.

Conclusions

These results indicate that the odds of recidivism were 34–35% lower in participants who went through an antisocial cognition-based treatment group compared to participants assigned to a control group.

Sunmin Hong, Yeungjeom Lee

Objective

This study investigates how transitioning to a single-parent family influences adolescent delinquency, examining the mediating roles of changes in parental control and environmental factors in this relationship.

Methods

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this study employs propensity score matching to reduce selection bias in examining the effects of family structure transitions (N = 1523).

Results

The transition to single-parent families significantly predicted increased delinquent behavior. Analysis of mediating factors revealed that residential mobility largely explained the relationship between family structure transitions and delinquency.

Conclusions

The results of our analysis highlight how specific mechanisms link family structure transitions to adolescent delinquency, suggesting that maintaining consistent parental control and minimizing environmental disruption may help reduce delinquency risks in transitioning families.

Objectives

This study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the effectiveness of an automated appointment notification system used to improve initial appointment attendance for probation-mandated, nonclinical care management.

Methods

The RCT compared care management intake appointment attendance among individuals who received automated notifications from a control group. A total of 1004 individuals were included in the analytic sample. Analyses explored whether automated notification receipt informs intake attendance rates net of other variables.

Results

Receiving appointment notifications significantly improves intake attendance even after accounting for individual-level characteristics. Additionally, those with a property offense or a prior supervision or incarceration term had lower intake attendance rates.

Conclusions

The current study serves as a proof of concept that advancing technological tools can improve compliance with probation-mandated care management. Future research should evaluate how to optimize this technology and inform best practices for engaging individuals on community supervision.

Pre-ejection period (PEP) in reward task and recurring victimization: A pilot study

Objectives

This study examines the relationship between pre-ejection period (PEP) reward reactivity, a peripheral marker for central dopamine reactivity during reward responding, and sexual victimization and recurring sexual victimization.

Methods

Electrocardiogram and impedance cardiography were recorded during a simple number-matching reward task to calculate PEP reward reactivity among 44 female college students.

Results

We found that those who experienced recurring sexual victimization had less PEP shortening to reward than those who experienced a single victimization and no victimization in a two-group (i.e., recurring vs. others) comparison. However, when examining these three groups, the differences in scores were not statistically significant.

Conclusions

In line with similar research, less PEP shortening among recurring sexual victims may suggest that they are insensitive physiologically to reward and may seek sensation or risk to upregulate their central dopamine activity. Findings should be contextualized within the lens of novel exploratory research, limited by sample size (n = 44).

目的本研究探讨了奖赏反应期间中枢多巴胺反应的外周标志物--射血前期（PEP）奖赏反应性与性受害和反复性受害之间的关系。结果我们发现，在两组（即重复性伤害与他人伤害）比较中，经历过重复性伤害的人与只经历过一次伤害或没有经历过伤害的人相比，对奖赏的前射血期缩短程度较低、反复与其他）比较。结论与类似的研究一致，重复性受害者的 PEP 缩短较少，这可能表明他们在生理上对奖赏不敏感，可能会寻求感觉或风险来提高中枢多巴胺的活性。由于样本量（n = 44）的限制，研究结果应结合新的探索性研究的背景。

Richard B. Felson, Eric Silver, Jason R. Silver

Objectives

We examine attitudes toward punishment of authorities and subordinates who participate in sexual and monetary bribery.

Methods

A nationally representative sample of 1050 respondents were presented with vignettes in an experimental design. We manipulated the type of payoff, who requested the bribe, the gender of the participants, and how common such payoffs were in that setting.

Results

In support of attribution theory, the results showed that respondents were more punitive toward authorities than subordinates and toward whoever proposed the bribe. The results also showed that respondents, particularly female respondents, were more punitive toward authorities when the payoff was sexual.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that people become more punitive when sex is treated as a commodity. A three-way interaction indicated that respondents were particularly punitive toward authorities in the MeToo scenario, i.e., when a man offered a reward to a woman for a sexual payoff.

Angela M. Jones, Elizabeth A. Quinby

Objectives

In a conceptual replication and extension of Pezdek and O’Brien (2014), we investigated eyewitness knowledge and plea-bargaining decisions among Texas attorneys.

Methods

Attorneys (N = 196) completed a knowledge survey and an experimental vignette that varied the quality of two identification procedures used to secure the sole piece of evidence in a case on plea-bargaining decisions.

Results

Attorneys were mostly knowledgeable of eyewitness recommendations but were not sensitive to the quality of identification procedures in the vignette. Overall, prosecutors were more likely to view the defendant as guilty, offer a plea, and seek harsher sentences than defense attorneys.

Conclusions

These results suggest attorneys are not attuned to problematic police practices or do not view biased instructions and single-blind administration as problematic enough to change plea-bargaining decisions. New avenues for increasing sensitivity are needed.

Andrzej Uhl

Objective

Legal scholars suspect that judges choose longer prison terms when they are going to suspend the sentence. This study examines this so-called sentence inflation in a controlled condition, holding case-related confounds constant.

Methods

I analyze the differences between suspended and unsuspended prison terms in the data from the Polish judicial exam. Each judge (N = 232) sentenced the same case based on a detailed court file. Judges had high stakes in the exam and spent over 6 h choosing and justifying the sentence.

Results

Many judges sentenced the offenders to prison. The suspended prison terms were 60 to 168% longer than unsuspended prison terms meted out in the identical case.

Conclusions

Judges display a tendency to inflate suspended prison terms, perhaps in order to appease the punitive public and strengthen individual deterrence. With high reoffending rates, this well-intentioned practice might backfire, leading to a surge in the prison population.

Arabella Kyprianides, Ben Bradford

Objectives

Explore why people react so strongly to procedural injustice experienced by others. One possibility is that people recognise the marginalisation and psychological harm that injustice can cause.

Methods

An online experiment tested whether exposure to procedurally unjust police behaviour directed at crime victims would influence participants’ assessments of the subject’s marginalisation, mental health outcomes, and their overall perceptions of the police (N = 300).

Results

Exposure to procedurally unjust police behaviour led to more negative evaluations of its psychological impact on the victim. Procedural injustice was seen as harmful to mental health due to its link to social exclusion. Such exposure reduced trust, legitimacy, and identification with police. These negative perceptions were driven by recognition of the victim’s psychological harm.

Conclusion

Findings highlight the critical role of psychological harm in driving public responses to unjust policing. Addressing this harm is essential for fostering trust and repairing fractured relationships between police and the communities they serve.

Dealing with guns: investigating the spatial attraction of gun dealers on localized gun violence 与枪支打交道：调查枪支经销商对局部枪支暴力的空间吸引力

IF 3 2区社会学 Q2 CRIMINOLOGY & PENOLOGY

Objectives

Test the spatial relationship between the locations of federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) and gun violence using shuttered FFLs as a counterfactual.

Methods

Using a quasi-experimental design, we evaluate the proximity of gun violence to (a) dealers and (b) the spatial footprints of former dealers. The locations of violence incidents between 2019 and 2021 in Los Angeles, CA, Dallas, TX, and Philadelphia, PA are analyzed against dealer locations using street Network Cross K methods.

Results

There is a robust attractive effect of dealers on gun violence within 3000 feet in two of the three cities, largely driven by the effect of dealers on violence in disadvantaged areas. The locations of former gun dealers did not uniformly fail to attract gun violence, however, as would be expected if FFLs were causally associated with the distribution of gun violence in cities.

Conclusions

The findings on the spatial attraction of gun violence to the locations of former gun dealers are heterogeneous across sites, leading to mixed support for a causal spatial association between gun dealers and gun violence. Limitations of using former dealers as the counterfactual include defining former dealers and the small numbers of former dealers in cities.

目标以关闭的联邦特许枪支经销商（FFL）为反事实，检验联邦特许枪支经销商（FFL）所在地与枪支暴力之间的空间关系。方法采用准实验设计，评估枪支暴力与（a）经销商和（b）前经销商的空间足迹之间的接近程度。结果在这三个城市中，有两个城市的经销商对3000英尺范围内的枪支暴力事件具有强大的吸引力，这主要是由于经销商对贫困地区暴力事件的影响。然而，前枪支经销商所在地并不像人们所预期的那样完全不能吸引枪支暴力，如果前枪支经销商与城市中的枪支暴力分布有因果关系的话。结论不同地点的前枪支经销商所在地对枪支暴力的空间吸引力不同，导致对枪支经销商与枪支暴力之间因果空间关联的支持不一。使用前枪支经销商作为反事实的局限性包括前经销商的定义和城市中前经销商的数量较少。

Objectives

Test whether support for a small business is lower when started by prisoners or mothers of prisoners compared to local residents or people who identify as LGBTQ.

Methods

We conducted a vignette experiment using a hypothetical social media post for a new business followed by closed- and open-ended questions using a national YouGov sample (N = 1300).

Results

Support for the business is lower when founded by mothers of prisoners than former prisoners (or “local residents”), but lowest when founded by people who identify as LGBTQ. Open-ended responses suggest a lack of awareness of collateral consequences for families of people in prison. Explanations consistent with courtesy stigma were also present.

Conclusions

Given the public’s growing awareness of the benefits of successful reintegration and their willingness to support second chances, more education on the collateral harms of mass incarceration on families could assist with reinvestment in these communities.
