A Mixed-Method Analysis of the News Media Framing of Gender Non-Conforming Victims of Homicide in the U.S. from 2012 to 2022 Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-03-14
Abstract Recent analyses of transgender homicide victims find that the news media often uses improper terminology, delegitimizes, and victim blames them. These analyses, while insightful, are limited as they have largely analyzed cases involving trans women and trans feminine individuals. The present study employs a mixed-method approach to analyze news media articles (N = 88) published in U.S. online

Trans-Neutrality in Intimate Partner Violence Service Provision in the USA and Canada Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Lauren N. Moton, Stacie Merken, Danielle C. Slakoff, Wendy Aujla
Trans women have distinct dynamics in abusive relationships that cisgender women may not experience (e.g., purposeful misgendering). Therefore, it is important that IPV service providers recognize the unique needs of trans women to provide appropriate care. We draw on data from a larger study employing an online open-ended survey with a hypothetical vignette depicting a trans woman experiencing IPV

The Social Reproduction Crisis During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Barcelona: Potentialities and Limitations Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-03-06
Abstract The outbreak of the social pandemic brought to the foreground the crisis of social reproduction afflicting our societies. However, this new visibility of the importance of care work and the emergence of mutual support networks was not a sufficient condition for the politicization of the reproductive sphere to take place, contrary to what happened during the 2008 crisis. This paper aims to

It is “Part of this Larger Tapestry of Anti-queer Experiences”: LGBTQ+ Australians’ Experiences of Street Harassment Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Bianca Fileborn, Sophie Hindes
Most research on street harassment has focused on the experiences of heterosexual, cisgender women, shaping our understandings of street harassment as a problem of sexism and men’s violence against women. In this article, we examine semi-structured interviews with 25 LGBTQ+ Australians who detailed their experiences of street harassment. We found that LGBTQ+ people experience unique forms, contexts

“Deliberate Indifference”: Challenging State-Sanctioned Violence Against Transgender People in Carceral Spaces Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Anne Uhlman
Prison sexual violence in the USA was first addressed in 2003 with the passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The act was intended to protect all people who are incarcerated from sexual violence, but the reality is that transgender people in the carceral system are sexually assaulted at rates much higher than their cisgender counterparts. Drawing from theories of institutionalism, critical

Rural Culture and Coercive Sexual Environments: A Queer Path from Victimization to Incarceration Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 April N. Terry
Coercive sexual environments (CSE) create communities that support, and even encourage, the sexual harassment and exploitation of young women. While recent publications have investigated the culture surrounding rural CSEs, the research is absent on LGBTQA+ youth residing in rural places. While oppressive conditions exist globally for the queer population, rural culture—including the harboring of old-fashioned

Anti-femininity or Gender-Nonconformity Prejudice? An Investigation of Femme, Twink, and Butch LGBTQ Victimization Using Norm-Centered Stigma Theory Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2024-02-17
Abstract Recent scholarship has highlighted the negative treatment of femme/feminized people (often labeled as anti-femininity or femmephobia) when it comes to social discrimination, gender policing, and dating preferences within the LGBTQ community. Yet, it is unclear if being “femme” is related to an overall increased likelihood of experiencing gender-based discrimination, violence, and/or harassment

The Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act (TRADA) (2020), marks a drastic procedural turn in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s response to incarcerated transgender people. TRADA, in fact, attempts to significantly reduce victimization and expand the rights of incarcerated transgender people, compelling correctional officers (COs) to give “serious consideration” to

Teen Courts as Alternative Justice? Teens’ Carceral Habitus and the Reproduction of Social Inequality Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Sarah Gaby, Amy M. Magnus
Teen courts are one branch of a specialized, “alternative” justice system that promises a pathway out of the criminal justice system. Teen courts center teens as both defendants and arbiters of justice, which attempts to turn the traditional juvenile justice system on its head. Yet, these purportedly alternative justice initiatives are inextricably tied to and shaped by youths’ carceral habitus, their

Harms and the Illegal Wildlife Trade: Political Ecology, Green Criminology and the European Eel Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Laura Gutierrez, Rosaleen Duffy
This paper integrates political ecology and green criminology to examine the critical endangerment of the European eel. Using a harms-based approach, our research suggests that the identification of organised crime networks as the central perpetrators of illegal wildlife trade (IWT) and of IWT itself as the main threat to eels, neglects a myriad of practices—many of which are related to legal businesses

In Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut (1999), an introductory sociology textbook appears on screen for a relatively long time. The analytical framing of this textbook yields an insight that helps us understand Kubrick’s filmography, as the framing suggests that humans and their civilized societies cloak some dangerous cultural motivations, acquired throughout a long process of evolution.

From Exceptionalism to Non-conformity: Pandemic Disobedience, Collective Irrationality, and Distributive Justice in India Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-10-18 Manohar Kumar
This paper deploys the containment principle by Della Croce and Nicole-Berva (2021) to adjudicate COVID-19 non-conformity in India. The paper argues that the containment principle offers a guide to evaluating pandemic legislation and outlines the duties of the state. It then evaluates the Indian Pandemic response and legislation against the containment principles and finds it arbitrary, arguing that

The use of biometrics for the creation of visual ‘body types’ needs continued criminological engagement. This article discusses Lombroso’s practice of typing ‘born criminals’ vis-à-vis genomic phenotyping used to identify potential suspects. Both are prevalent examples of scientizing police and legal work. While Lombroso draws on anatomy to explain causes of criminal behavior, phenotyping is based

The Social Organization of Pervasive Penality in the Lives of Young People Experiencing Homelessness Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Naomi Nichols, Jayne Malenfant
Research affirms that municipal laws regulate and criminalize activities associated with homelessness. Research has yet to explore how these laws intersect with other socio-legal processes to create socially organized relations of surveillance and punishment for those who are its targets. This participatory institutional ethnography began with interviews with precariously housed and homeless youth

Does the Concentration of the Treadmill of Production Predict US EPA Environmental Violations Across States? A Test of Green Criminological Propositions from Ecological Disorganization Theory Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-09-09 Michael J. Lynch
Green criminologists have employed treadmill of production (ToP) literature to develop explanations for green/environmental crimes, and to describe ToP effects on the enforcement of environmental regulations. That view, however, has not been widely applied empirically. The present study assesses a green political economic explanation of environmental offending across US states, and examines whether

Green criminology has been advancing a focus on environmental crimes and harms. Extending this inquiry into avoidable and avertable environmental harms is a key function of both green criminology and zemiology. However, while the former seeks to expand regulatory frameworks, the latter contains within it the potential for a more holistic reimagining of the social world. Based on a methodology that

Fake Vaccine Certificates as Tickets to Deviant Freedom and Certainty: A Critical Analysis of Media Discourses Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-07-17 Kristjan Kikerpill, Ragne Kõuts-Klemm
Falsified COVID-19 vaccination certificates, or passes, have become both a tool for overcoming obstacles and a symbol of deviant resistance. Similar to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which featured offers for both bogus testing kits and vaccines, the emergence of fake vaccination certificates is an illicit supply generated by a demand entailed by restrictions on the right to free self-realization

Criminological scholarship has long grappled with the roles that stigma and labelling play in drug use in disadvantaged communities. While stigma leads to marginalisation, less is known about the way stigma impacts the structurally advantaged, or those from communities of relative affluence. Our research involved fieldwork and 18 qualitative interviews with people who inject drugs in the affluent coastal

Feminist Convict Criminology for the Future Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-06-28 Alison Cox, Michelle L. Malkin
Women’s incarceration has outgrown the pace of men’s incarceration in recent decades. Their experiences in correctional settings are also unique from that of their male counterparts. Feminist criminology has provided insight into the lived experiences of women who are criminalized, as well as individuals with multiple oppressed/stigmatized statuses. However, the paucity of these experiences from a

The social scientific study of sexual assault on North American university/college campuses started in 1957 with a path-breaking survey conducted by Clifford Kirkpatrick and Eugene Kanin. However, it was not until the late 1980s that the interdisciplinary literature in the field started to mushroom. Nevertheless, theoretical developments have not kept pace with the burgeoning empirical body of knowledge

Racialized, Sexualized, and Criminalized: Carceral Citizenship of Black Women Critical Criminology (IF 2.109) Pub Date : 2023-05-02 Felicia A. Henry
Black women in the criminal legal system have distinct racialized, gendered, and classed experiences as a result of their intersectional identities. Carceral citizenship (Miller and Stuart 2017), an alternative form of citizenship in which individuals with criminal records simultaneously experience disadvantages and advantages of membership, largely does not discuss the experiences of Black women.

The inclusion of gender in hate crime legislation has been the subject of scholarly debate since the 1990s, but only a handful of empirical studies have focused on victims’ experiences of gender-bias hate crime. Therefore, misogynistic hate crimes are primarily discussed as a theoretical or legal category of events. In this study, the aim is instead to shed light on how female victims define, describe

Racial threat hypothesis contends that growing minority populations produce a threat to social order that results in the weaponization of the criminal justice apparatus. We hypothesize this threat has resulted in the incommensurate surveillance of Black and Brown communities. We define this phenomenon as surveillance load, the disproportionate accumulation or “load” of social control which grows heavier
