Purpose
Much of the prior literature examining the impact of judge race and sex on case-level sentencing outcomes remain mixed. There is a lack of research investigating how the composition of the judiciary influences sentencing. The current study attempts to fill this gap and examines the influence of the race, sex, and political composition of U....
Disparity in sentencing outcomes continues to garner considerable attention in the research literature. Much of the extant literature focuses on the impact of case-level, and to a lesser extent, court-level characteristics on individual sentencing outcomes. At the federal level, recent research by the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC), how...
Undergraduate students often struggle to produce clear and concise written assignments. Faculty in criminal justice often struggle with how to help them. The current study describes how a fully online introduction to criminal justice course was modified to be writing intensive. Students completed five writing assignments related to course content a...
Prior research finds that correctional officers (COs) often report high levels of stress, poor mental and physical health and are at an increased risk of suffering work-related injuries. However, little is known about the causes of such injuries. In an attempt to fill this large gap in the literature, the current study used qualitative data to expl...
Police body-worn cameras (BWCs) represent one of the latest innovations to permeate policing, and the rapid speed with which law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and internationally have adopted or considered the technology has been greatly influenced by environmental factors, including high-profile deadly force incidents and natio...

... When discussing the impact of external factors that precipitated the adoption of BWCs in the United States, several scholars (Braga et al., 2018;Lum et al., 2019;White et al., 2017) provided support for Karch's (2006) contention. Specifically, environmental factors such as high-profile deadly force incidents involving the police contributed to changes in national-level politics, which in turn influenced greatly the adoption of body-worn cameras (BWCs) by police agencies in the United States (Crow and Smykla, 2019). ...
