And while women and people of color have been underrepresented in the field, the effects of both racial and gender bias have a disproportionate impact on women of color.…”

“…Similarly, Black criminologists pointed to the exclusion of work by and on African Americans (S. L. Gabbidon & Greene, 2001; Walker & Brown, 1995; V. Young & Sulton, 1991; V. D.

“…Prior studies find that racial and gender biases are not uncommon in textbooks. Prior textual analyses reveal that both women and racial and ethnic minorities have been excluded and/or portrayed in a stereotypical manner in textbooks on economics (S. Feiner & Morgan, 1990; S. F. Feiner, 1993; Robson, 2001), psychology (Brown, Goodwin, Hall, & Jackson-Lowman, 1985; Peterson & Kroner, 1992), marriage and the family (Bryant & Coleman, 1988), political science (Ashley & Jarratt-Ziemski, 1999; Cassese & Bos, 2013; Clawson & Kegler, 2000; Monforti & McGlynn, 2010; Olivo, 2012; Wallace & Allen, 2008), and criminology and criminal justice (Free, 1999; S. L. Gabbidon & Greene, 2001; Martín, 2014; Miller, Wright, & Smith, 2000; Walker & Brown, 1995; T. J. Young, 1990).…”

This study examines images in 23 textbooks published between 2008 and 2012 to analyze the interactive effects of race and gender. Pictures were analyzed to determine the visual presence White men, White women, men of color, and women of color have in textbook images. The race and gender of individuals were examined and categorized into three prominent status categories in the field: as criminals, professionals, and victims. The results are compared to a similar study conducted 20 years ago. Overall, the findings show that there is improvement as White males have less visual dominance than previously reported; however, images still reinforce the notion that White men are most often professionals, White women are victims, and men of color are criminals. Women of color remain invisible and lack a significant visual presence of any kind.

“…other academics not only what topics are worthy of discussion and how to undertake research but also how to narrate research findings for enhanced scholarly status. This discursive power extends into the production of undergraduate textbooks, as they tend to cover research debates that dominate the academic discipline (see, e.g., Martín 2014;Young 1990). Academics have privileged access to the scholarly discourse of their field (Brown 1995;van Dijk 2008).…”

Neo-Colonial Criminology 10 Years On: The Silence Continues

Decolonial academic discourse has gained substantial momentum since 2010, prompting the question of whether research on hyperincarcerated Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial societies has increased. Earlier research found a lack of engagement with this social problem in high-ranked criminology journals in the decade preceding 2010. This study focuses on the subsequent decade (2011–2020) to ascertain any discernible shifts. The discursive mass on hyperincarcerated populations (Indigenous, African American, Hispanic American) is determined, finding that it still fails to reach the critical mass required to mainstream the idea that most discussions of criminality cannot afford to remain colourblind considering lived realities. Publication-to-incarceration-rate ratios for hyperincarcerated populations are compared, finding that the relative silence regarding Indigenous peoples also continues. The study concludes that the surging decolonial debate had little effect on the quantity of topical research published in high-ranked mainstream criminology journals, calling for future research to investigate why and to address any qualitative changes.

“…Despite this, little attention has been paid to understanding the social context of North American Indigenous (i.e., American Indian and Canadian First Nations) delinquency and the general and unique criminogenic mechanisms that produce it. The exclusion of Indigenous people in mainstream criminological research is reflective of broader cultural and structural inequalities perpetuated by the enduring legacy of colonialism, which keeps many of the social problems salient in Indigenous communities out of the purview of the discipline of criminology and society at large (Martin 2014). Undoing this colonial legacy requires scholars to focus on issues relevant to Indigenous communities, adapting mainstream theories to account for unique contexts and prioritizing research methods that emphasize community involvement and cultural specificity.…”

Objectives: Drawing from an integrated general strain theory framework, the purpose of the study is to examine the longitudinal mediating and moderating mechanisms linking perceived racial discrimination with aggressive delinquency among North American Indigenous (i.e., American Indian and Canadian First Nations) youth. Method: Data come from an eight-year longitudinal study of Indigenous youth residing on reservations/reserves in the upper Midwest and Canada ( N = 659). Scales were created for discrimination, depressive symptoms, school bonds, and delinquent peer associations at years 2 and 3, and a count measure of aggression was created at years 2, 3, and 5. Cross-lagged path analysis models were estimated to examine possible mediating effects of depressive symptoms, school bonds, and delinquent peer associations. Separate regression models were examined to test for possible moderating effects of the aforementioned variables. Results: The results of a longitudinal path analysis model showed that discrimination indirectly increased aggression through decreased school bonds and increased delinquent peer associations. Depressive symptoms was the only significant moderator, and contrary to expectations, the effect of discrimination on aggression declined in magnitude as depressive symptoms increased. Conclusions: Discrimination is a key criminogenic stressor among Indigenous youth and is linked with multiple adverse outcomes through the adolescent years.
