“…From a critical perspective, scholars suggest structural racism exists within public and crime control policies to maintain the status quo of a racial hierarchy in America (e.g., Delgado & Stefancic, 2012; Reiman, 2007; Sampson & Wilson, 1995; Tonry, 2004, 2011). Although systemic discrimination within the criminal justice system, what Alexander (2010) calls the “New Jim Crow,” may explain much of the disparity in arrest and incarceration data, self-report and victimization data still demonstrate significant racial differences in offending (e.g., Elliott, Huizinga, & Morse, 1986; Johnston, O’Malley, Miech, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2014; Like-Haislip, 2014). Much attention has been placed on structural and social conditions which may contribute to understanding this remaining disparity.…”

Microaggressions, Injustices, and Racial Identity

Inspired by the recent theory of African American offending and the lack of race-centered concepts in criminological literature, I aim to answer four general research questions: (a) Do criminal justice injustices impact African Americans differently than other forms of racism? (b) Do different emotional states increase African Americans' likelihood of offending? (c) Does having a positive racial identity buffer against the negative effects of racial discrimination? and (d) Do the effects of racial discrimination and racial identity vary between African American males and females? Using a subsample of African American youth and young adults from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods data, I find microaggressions and criminal justice injustices independently predict serious and violent offending. Anger and depression likewise serve as independent predictors, though anger suppresses the effects of depression when considered simultaneously. Racial identity also moderately buffers the negative effects of overall discrimination. The present analysis, however, finds no significant gender differences in the above processes. This study provides a firm empirical foundation for the theory of African American offending and other race-based approaches to understanding crime. Implications for future investigations are discussed.

“…Not only are criminals commonly portrayed as young, male, and Black with economic hardship and less education (Freeman, 1987(Freeman, , 1996Nagin and Waldfogel, 1995;Shihadeh and Flynn, 1996;Viscusi, 1986), but certain characteristics, such as profession, can also be associated with certain crimes (Croall, 2001). Among all these sociodemographics, race is widely associated with crime occurrence in the United States in particular (Like-Haislip, 2014;Nunn, 2002;Shihadeh and Flynn, 1996;Viscusi, 1986).…”

This study aims to model the effect of hospitality employment on property crime in economic crime equations, in which unemployment either indicates the opportunity cost of crime or suggests the decrease of targets. We developed a model of property crime that incorporates both unemployment rate and hospitality employment, in which the effect of unemployment rate on property crime is controlled to isolate the net effect of hospitality employment. We tested the model with the data of hospitality employment and property crime rates in the United States from 1972 to 2012, for which the date are available. On the one hand, we verified a negative causation from unemployment rate to property crime, suggesting that high unemployment rates reduce the targets of criminal activities, which in turn reduces property crime. On the other hand, by controlling for the effect of unemployment rate, we found a significantly negative causation from hospitality employment to property crime, suggesting that the decrease in property crime is due to hospitality employment that increases the opportunity cost of property crime.

“…A critical effect of this categorization is that it allows the Latinx population to be separated from non-Hispanic whites. 6 This new classification, coupled with the overall growth of the Latinx population, has resulted in them currently being recognized as the largest group of color in the United States, accounting for 16.3 percent of the population by 2010 (see Like-Haislip 2014). Demographers point out that the United States is well on its way to having just as many “minority” as “nonminority” residents and that various cities in the West, Southwest, and now the Midwest encompass “majority-minority” communities (B.…”

Latinxs in the Kansas City Metro Area: Policing and Criminalization in Ethnic Enclaves

This study explores the socio-spatial, economic, and policing inequities experienced by Latinxs in the Kansas City metropolitan using geographic, census, and police data as well as qualitative analysis of interviews and workshops. Data show there has been an expansion of Latinx enclaves over time in the metropolitan area and suggest that enclaves function as both a protective factor for Latinxs against socio-structural hardship and also render them highly visible as targets for disproportionate criminalization. To redress the latter, we offer planning recommendations for community development and policing that promote socio-spatial equity in law enforcement practices while adapting to demographic shifts.
