New Books

Dr. Rolando V. del Carmenrevised and published fourbooks this academic year:Criminal Procedure: Law andPractice, 8th ed., Briefs ofLeading Cases in Law Enforcement (with JefferyWalker); Briefs of Leading Cases in Corrections,5th ed. (with Betsy Witt & Sue Ritter); and TheDeath Penalty: Constitutional Issues,Commentaries, and Case Briefs, 2nd ed. (withScott Vollum as second volume editor, KellyCheeseman Dial, Durant Frantzen, & Claudia SanMiguel). Dr. del Carmen is the sole author ofCriminal Procedure: Law and Practice, 8th ed., awidely used textbook in criminal justice programsin the United States, which has been translatedinto four languages and used in academicprograms overseas. He also co-authored anarticle, published in Criminal Law Bulletin (Vol.45, No. 2 pp. 3-28), on “The Entrapment Defense:Current Issues, Problems, and Trends,” withAmanda D. Johnson. All of Dr. del Carmen’s co-authors are former or current students in the Ph.D.program, and most have gone on to make namesfor themselves in the criminal justice field—anachievement for which, as a teacher, he is very

proud. Dr. del Carmen’sexperience has been thatgraduate students whopublish or co-publishwhile they are in theCollege of CriminalJustice are more likely tocontinue publishing afterthey finish their degreeand teach full-time. “It isa win-win situation,” hesays, “and of mutual

benefit to the Criminal Justice Center and Ph.D.students. To many, the myths and mysteryenshrouding publication are lifted, and they learnhow to and why they must publish if they are tosucceed in academia.”

Scott Menard

Dr. Scott Menard’s newest book,

the Handbook of Longitudinal

Research: Design, Measurement,

and Analysis, is a collection of chapters, all but

three of them original contributions prepared

specifically for this book, written by leading

international and interdisciplinary scholars

(including SHSU College of Criminal justice

colleague Dr. Hee-Jong Joo) in the field of

longitudinal research design and data analysis.

The first six chapters in the book describe the

different types of longitudinal research designs,

which vary by what population or sample is being

studied and how many times data are collected on

the same person or case. Chapters 7-12 deal with

measurement issues in longitudinal research,

including failure of memory, respondents

dropping out of the study, and the effects of being

repeatedly interviewed or tested as a research

subject. The remaining 26 chapters cover

different approaches to the analysis of

longitudinal data, including descriptive and causal

analysis, description and measurement of

qualitative change, timing of qualitative change,

time series analysis, and complex models for

quantitative change. In addition to providing a

comprehensive reference book for scholars and

practitioners involved in longitudinal research,

several chapters advance

the field of longitudinal

research by presenting

newer, cutting-edge

techniques of longitudinal

data analysis. The book is

published by Academic

Press, a division of

Elsevier, Inc.

Will Oliver

The Making of Criminal

Justice Policy in the

United States, by Dr. Will

Oliver with Nancy

Marion, was inspired by

presidential and

Congressional focus on criminal justice policy. Dr.

Oliver has been publishing and researching

extensively in the area of federal crime control

policy, looking at what presidents and Congress

actually can and cannot do about crime. Since the

1964 election between Goldwater and Johnson,

crime has become an important national issue in

presidential debates, Congressional elections, and

various party platforms, whereas, before then, the

powers of crime control traditionally lay with state

and local governments, the book explains. Much of

the interest in crime control policy from federal

office holders (and those seeking office) is for its

symbolic power—and its ability to win elections.

“The president can look tough on crime,” Oliver

said, “like he’s doing something about the issue,

when a lot of it ends up just being rhetoric.” But

there has also been an upside to the debate, which

“has also created a lot of bills that have funded a lot of

money into state and local police.” The book is intended

for either criminal justice

or political science

graduate level classes

examining federal

criminal justice policy.

Many of the articles were

authored by Drs. Oliver

and Marion, but the book

also contains chapters

from policy experts such

as Jim Calder, Stuart

Scheingold, and Barbara

Stolz.

Mitch Roth

Dr. Mitchel Roth’s new book,Organized Crime, looksbeyond the outdatedinterpretations of organizedcrime, addressing theoverlapping nature of formerlydistinct forms of criminality—cybercrime, terrorism, white collar crime, and organizedcrime—to better understand the complicated nature oforganized crime in the 21st century. It examines the impactof forces such as globalization, the World Wide Web, thefall of the Soviet Union and South African apartheid, andthe explosion of Yugoslavia on the changing nature ofworldwide organized crime. Chapters are devoted to Asian,European and Russian, Mexican and Latin American, andAfro-lineal organized crime as well as the evolvingrelationship between terrorism and organized crime, a topicwhich has only received brief mention in other books on thesubject. Several chapters are devoted to the historical rootsof organized crime in the United States and Italy, theorigins of the alien conspiracy theory, and the inextricablerelationship between various vice prohibitions andorganized crime activity. Prison gangs, street gangs, andoutlaw motorcycle gangs get their due as well. But whatsets this book apart from other organized crime textbooks isits analysis and investigation of the links between organized

crime and terrorism,organized crime incyberspace, and thecoverage of piracypast and present, atimely subject. Thisbook isrecommended forOrganized Crime andCorruption classes atthe undergraduateand graduate levelsand courses onHomeland Securityand Criminal Justice

Hot Spots and Edge Effects:An Examination of Crime Patterns across Contiguous Suburban Police Agencies

Current innovations in policing require a more geographically oriented focus on crime and places of interest.Unfortunately, these patterns are often limited to knowledge of crime only within the agency’s jurisdiction. This hasparticular significance when identifying “hot spots” of criminal activity, as they are not confined to these sameboundaries. It also is especially germane to contiguous suburban jurisdictions with “jigsaw puzzle” borders. Dr.Hoover and Dr. Lawton used data collected through the Criminal Research, Information Management, andEvaluation System (CRIMES) to examine this issue and determine how these contiguous areas impact on theidentification of “hot spots” of criminal activity. Southlake data were employed. Southlake is in the Dallas/FortWorth Metroplex. Results demonstrate that the identification of the hot spots can be strongly impacted by crimefrom the surrounding jurisdictions.

Texas Major City Research Initiative.

Data from the Major Cities Research Initiative is focused upon assessing two related programs—Dallas’ “Hot Spots”Program, involving assignment of officers to 21 designated high crime areas during at-risk times, and Houston’sCrime Reduction Unit. Four years of crime, arrest, and call-for-service data has been obtained and with considerableeffort by Drs. Lawton and Zhang, “cleaned” and imported into SPSS. Faculty and research assistants assigned to theproject are in the process of analysis and composition of publications that address the effect of focused crimereduction from several perspectives. The data are also proving useful for other purposes. Cooperating with Dr.Terrence Dunworth of the Urban Institute, a portion of the Houston data will serve to document the potential effectof crime reduction efforts by Target in neighborhoods contiguous to their stores. Dee Warren is examining anothersection of the Houston data to assess the impact of the absorption of Katrina evacuees upon the city.

Sarah Kerrigan

Alcohol and Caffeine in Energy Drinks

In a recent publication Dr. Sarah Kerrigan published a study to determine whether “non-alcoholic” energy drinksproduce detectable alcohol concentration in human subjects. Her study involved a commercial transdermal alcoholdetection system that is being used in criminal justice settings. In the system, thedevice used consists of an ankle bracelet that measures alcohol electrochemically viathe skin in a continuous manner. Remote monitoring of the transdermal alcoholconcentration (TAC) via modem identifies alcohol use in the subject by generating an“alcohol alert”. The purpose of the study was to determine the scientific validity of the“energy drink defense” whereby subjects wearing the device claim that consumption ofnon-alcoholic energy drinks produce a “false positive” alcohol alert. According to theFDA beverages containing less than 0.5% alcohol to be “non-alcoholic,” and these donot need to contain the government warning statement or list ethanol as an ingredient.Eleven energy drinks were investigated in total. Ethanol ranged in concentration from0.03 to 0.230% (w/v), and caffeine content per 8-oz serving ranged from 65 to 126 mg. A total of 15 human subjectsparticipating in the study consumed between 6 and 8 energy drinks (180 Red Energy) over an 8 hour period.Although alcohol was detected in some subjects, none produced elevations in transdermal alcohol concentrationsufficient to produce an “alcohol alert” (<0.02 w/v). Subjects in the study consumed a quantity of energy drink thatgreatly exceeds a typical dose, and several reported negative effects. Based on these results, it appears that energydrink consumption is an unlikely explanation for elevated TACs that might be identified as potential drinkingepisodes or “alcohol alerts.” Dr. Kerrigan’s study was published in the Jan/Feb issue of the Journal of AnalyticalToxicology.

Sam Souryal

In March 2009, Dr. Sam Souryal was named an “Academic Fellow” for 2009-2010 by the Foundation for the Defense of

Democracies (FDD), a non-partisan policy institute headquartered in Washington, D.C. Dr. Souryal expects that this

fellowship will provide him with a unique view of the threat of terrorism to global democracy, as well as issues

surrounding Arab-Israeli relations during his trip to Israel in June 2009. Upon his return, he plans to write about his

experiences and findings.

Victoria Titterington

Public Housing Safety Initiative

Dr. Victoria Titterington recently completed service as the Program Evaluator for a two-year Public HousingSafety Initiative (PHSI) grant from the Community Capacity Development Office of the USDOJ Office of JusticePrograms. Houston (as the major city within the U.S. Attorney’s Southern District of Texas Office) was one of 19sites nationwide that received these grants, aimed at “providing funding for the investigation, prosecution, andprevention of violent crime and drug offense activities in public, federally-assisted, and Indian housing.” TheUrban Institute also worked with grantees to develop performance measures that could be used to track progresstoward their stated goals and to document the long-term impact of the PHSI.

The Houston Public Housing Initiative focused on three public housing developments (Kelly Village, CuneyHomes, and Kennedy Place), located in Houston’s Fifth Ward, northeast and south of downtown. During the one-year period preceding the grant, the rates of violent Part I crime for the targeted public housing developmentsranged from 3.2 to 6.3 times the citywide rate; during the same period the rates of non-violent Part I crime for thetargeted developments ranged from 1.3 to 2.2 times the citywide rate. Also, the rate of calls for service for theseareas ranged from 2.4 to 4.0 times the citywide rate.

The approach of this initiative was uniquely comprehensive in that it included both targeted law enforcementas well as community development activities and outcomes. This included the involvement of the Houston PoliceDepartment , the Harris County Constables Precinct 6, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the GulfCoast Violent Offenders Task Force, the Mayor’s Anti-Gang Office, Family Services of Greater Houston, the FifthWard Community Redevelopment Corporation, the Houston Housing Authority, the Houston Area Women’sCenter, Houston ISD, Texas Southern University and multiple Houston offices of the YMCA. Among thenumerous activities within this effort were: (1)”high visibility” patrols focused particularly on prostitution andnarcotics in and around the three public housing complexes, (2) domestic abuse prevention classes for residentjuvenile females, (3) DEA-sponsored classes on prescription drug abuse among juveniles, for grandparents raisingtheir grandchildren within these housing units, and (4) tours of university campuses (including Sam Houston StateUniversity and our College of Criminal Justice) by high-risk juveniles, with the hope of prolonging their educationthrough high school and beyond.

Both violent and non-violent crime rates decreased at two of the housing developments (Kelly Village andKennedy Place) during the major law enforcement period of the grant, with an 11 percent decrease in violentcrime and a 30 percent decrease in property crime. The Cuney Homes crime data showed an overall increase inofficially reported crime during the major law enforcement period, thought to be accounted for by increasedcitizen reports of crime to the police, a positive rather than negative outcome. Over the course of ongoing lawenforcement/housing residents meetings, residents reported that they are now more willing to speak to policebecause they actually know some of them individually and believe that law enforcement will respond morequickly to reports from residents.

Other positive outcomes of these broad-based PHSI efforts were equally important. Among many otheractivities, these included the (1) completion of GED classes by 15 residents, (2) participation of 133 residentyouth in SAT/ACT preparation classes, (3) participation of 18 juvenile females in a 14-week YMCA-sponsoredGirls in Real Life Situations (GIRLS) program focused on increasing self-confidence, self-esteem and personalsafety, (4) participation of 81 adults and 66 youth in money management classes, and (5) a 10-week Hoops ‘nHopes basketball program for resident youth, with auxiliary teaching, mentoring, and coaching by law

Dennis Longmire

During the summer and fall of 2008, the Survey Research Program completed a Citizen Impression Survey for theHouston Police Department (HPD). Drs. Longmire, Zhao, and Lawton worked closely with the Houston PoliceDepartment’s Executive Assistant Chief Timothy Oettmeier to construct a survey instrument designed to provide HPDleadership with information that would help inform them of the citizens’ impressions of their services. The instrumentincluded 70 items focusing on citizens’ general impressions of the Department’s officers and their satisfaction with theDepartments’ delivery of a variety of services ranging from traffic law enforcement to the response to mental healthconsumers. Also included were questions focusing on a series of topics of special concern to the HPD such as the use of“red light cameras,” “Homeland Security cameras,” and Conducted Energy Devices (Tasers).

The sample included 1,250 Houston area residents 18 years of age or older between May 1 and June 3, 2008, whoagreed to participate in the survey. All respondents were selected for inclusion in the study through the use of randomdigit dialing (RDD) methodologies, and data were collected via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI)technology. Additionally, respondents within bilingual or Spanish only speaking households were provided with theopportunity to complete the interview in Spanish, thus ensuring that respondents from this population sub-group wereprovided with ample opportunity to respond.

Houston residents have an overwhelmingly positive image of the Houston Police Department’s police officers. Over70% of the respondents either “strongly agreed” or “agreed” that HPD officers are honest (70.6%) and fair (70.2%) intheir interactions with citizens. The great majority of the respondents to the survey either strongly agreed or agreed thatthe Houston Police officers are hard working (80.3%) and well trained (71%). The most persistent statisticallysignificant sub-group differences are found across different genders, ages and ethnic groups examined. Older, non-minority females were also more likely to report favorable attitudes about HPD’s services.

In addition to submitting the Final Report to the HPD, Drs. Longmire, Zhao and Lawton are working on severalpublications for submission to scholarly journals and are currently in the process of designing a second survey for theHPD that will employ stratified sampling techniques to better represent Hispanic respondents.

enforcement and YMCA staff. A special effort was also made to provide support to grandparents raising theirgrandchildren in these housing developments. This included classes offered by the DEA, with the collaborationof other law enforcement agencies, focusing on youthful drug abusers who steal their drugs from their eldercaregivers. The 19 senior adult participants in these classes were given lockboxes for the future safekeeping oftheir prescription medications.

Dr. Titterington’s observations are that “this has been one of the most positive projects with which I’ve beeninvolved, because of its broad scope and the grassroots citizen, service provider, law enforcement collaboration. Iwas continually struck by how much, given the resources, each of these stakeholders invested in improving theimmediate and long-term conditions of living for the residents of Kennedy, Kelly, and Cuney. Yet it is also truethat residents became apprehensive and frustrated near the completion of the project, with a strong desire forcontinued funding to sustain the positive progress. It was known at the outset that, unlike larger federal programssuch as Project Safe Neighborhoods, this particular OJP initiative was time-limited. But we do think the success ofthis Houston program, as well as other PHSI sites, once again sends a clear message that, given the opportunityand resources, people are willing to work very hard and can make substantial gains in crime reduction and anoverall improvement in a community’s quality of life.”
