Initiatives have been implemented to reduce the federal sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses. The current study investigated the impact of the Fair Sentencing Act 2010 (FSA) on sentencing outcomes for females convicted of federal cocaine offenses. Specifically, the study examined the influence of race, ethnicity, and drug-related factors on presentence detention, downward departures, and sentence length before and after FSA. Using federal sentencing data, results revealed a substantial decrease in the number of crack cocaine offenses and average sentence length after FSA. Additionally, results revealed that there were racial and ethnic differences in sentencing outcomes.

We explored how highly educated and middle-class Kenyan female immigrants perceive their encounters with the police in the United States, including the decision to access the criminal justice system in response to their victimization. We found a positive correlation between perceptions of procedural justice and cooperation among Kenyan women immigrants. Conversely, prior victimization was inversely associated with help-seeking among these women. When Kenyan female immigrants perceived high police effectiveness in dealing with IPV, they were more likely to feel obligated to obey the U.S. police. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Black mothers have never fit the hegemonic white standard of motherhood. The bad mother narrative has been superimposed on Black women through controlling images. Through in-depth interviews with formerly incarcerated Black mothers, I demonstrate how formerly incarcerated Black women invert controlling images through how they frame their mothering choices. Their reframing of their mothering choices reveals that formerly incarcerated Black mothers have mothering practices that entail good mothering and goes beyond the white imaginary. These mothering practices reveal a redefinition of motherhood that provides greater understanding of how formerly incarcerated Black mothers understand and make sense of their mothering choices.

Robust research focuses on the prevalence and consequences of gender-based violence (i.e., sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020) at institutions of higher education (IHEs) or sexual misconduct in university speak. More recently, scholars have turned their attention to examining the role of Title IX in addressing sexual misconduct and how IHEs’ policies and practices under Title IX do or do not serve complainants (i.e., alleged victims), respondents (i.e., alleged perpetrators), and the overall campus community. At IHEs, when an alleged incident of sexual misconduct is reported to a Title IX coordinator a common expectation is that (1) the report will result in a formal complaint of a policy violation and (2) be investigated by the Title IX coordinator; (3) that a hearing panel will then determine whether the respondent or respondents violated the IHE’s policy as outlined in the formal complaint, and (4) if a policy violation is found, sanctions will be levied against the responsible party or parties. In practice, however, most reported incidents of sexual misconduct do not result in a formal Title IX complaint and investigation, and many investigated incidents do not result in a finding of a policy violation or sanction (Rennison, 2018; Richards, 2019; Richards et al., 2021). For example, in 2018–2019, across 209 institutions of higher education in New York, only 769 (20%) of the 3829 incidents reported to a Title IX coordinator resulted in a formal complaint and investigation and 412 investigated cases resulted in a policy violation and sanction (Richards et al., 2021).

强有力的研究侧重于基于性别的暴力(即性骚扰、性侵犯、约会暴力、家庭暴力和跟踪)的流行程度和后果;疾病控制与预防中心，2020年)在高等教育机构(IHEs)或大学性行为不端发言。最近，学者们将注意力转向研究第九条在解决性行为不端方面的作用，以及第九条规定的高等教育机构的政策和做法如何为投诉人(即所谓的受害者)、被调查者(即所谓的肇事者)和整个校园社区服务。在高等教育学院，当向第九条协调员报告涉嫌性行为不端事件时，通常的期望是:(1)该报告将导致对违反政策的正式投诉;(2)由第九条协调员进行调查;(3)聆讯小组随后会决定被投诉人是否违反了正式投诉书所述的高等教育委员会的政策;以及(4)如发现有违反政策的情况，会对负责的一方或多方施加制裁。然而，在实践中，大多数报告的性行为不端事件并没有导致正式的第九条投诉和调查，许多调查的事件也没有导致违反政策的发现或制裁(Rennison, 2018;理查兹,2019;Richards et al.， 2021)。例如，在2018-2019年，在纽约的209所高等教育机构中，向第九条协调员报告的3829起事件中，只有769起(20%)导致正式投诉和调查，412起调查案件导致政策违规和制裁(Richards et al.， 2021)。这一显著的减员报告

The high rate of attrition in the processing of sexual violence cases within the criminal justice system has been framed as a “justice gap,” an institutional failure to get justice for victim-survivors. In this article, I analyze the processing of rape cases in the Swedish criminal justice system, one with a particularly high attrition rate. Drawing upon interviews with criminal justice professionals, I illuminate the inadequacy of the justice gap as a measure of victim-centered justice. Through policy reforms, the Swedish criminal justice system has instituted victim-centered practices that offer victim-survivors alternative forms of justice without increasing the prosecution rate.

While research has identified four main police supervisory styles, it is unclear whether the framework accurately represents the supervisory styles of women. We explored the benefits of promoting women in policing and examined their supervisory styles, drawing on interviews with 38 ranking women. Participants attributed three benefits to promoting women – diversity, people-orientation, and conscientiousness. All 34 who described their supervisory style fell into one of the four previously identified categories. Most common was innovative (50%), then supportive (32%), traditional (12%), and active (6%). We link findings to calls for gender diversity up the ranks of law enforcement.

Women’s agency to construct prosocial lives remains understudied in criminology. This qualitative inquiry explores the nature and outcomes of women’s personal projects, which reflect their agency. In up to five interviews, 401 women on probation and parole explained efforts to improve their lives. Psychological theory on personal projects guided analysis that revealed information on project meaning and facilitators and barriers to project pursuit. Women shared a motivation to avoid trouble and establish prosocial lives. Outcomes were improved by social support and prosocial opportunities. Findings have implications for defining and analyzing agency in desistance research and for correctional responses to women.

This paper describes challenges to changing the culture around yellow zone sexual harassment in the higher education workplace. The yellow zone comprises harassment that is often undetected or misunderstood but nonetheless is harmful. Based on a random sample, we surveyed 4554 staff and faculty at a large Midwestern university after they completed a mandatory online training module, assessing perceptions of sexual harassment, reactions to the training, and workplace personal experiences. Findings are that a majority of respondents know where to report incidents and that the training improved knowledge about sexual and gender-based harassment. However, almost half reported problematic workplace experiences.

The current study is an outcome evaluation of the gender-responsive program, Girls...Moving On (GMO). Outcomes for treatment (n = 135) and control group (n = 135) participants reflected mixed findings, with no significant reductions in recidivism, which may have been due to problems with implementation. Nevertheless, girls who completed the program had significantly larger reductions in risk scores and increases in strength scores compare to non-completers, but little to no differences in recidivism. Additionally, GMO completers showed improvements in self-efficacy scores. Several implications and considerations regarding the outcomes are discussed to guide future gender-responsive programs for system-impacted girls.
