Taking a critical criminological approach and employing Jock Young’s theory of social bulimia, it investigates media coverage of crime in Corona from 2011 to 2021, finding that the neighborhood was framed as both a hub for “vice” and for real estate investment via the commodification of “Latin flavor.” The analysis suggests that Corona exemplifies Young’s theory of social bulimia as it both excludes and exploitatively includes immigrant groups. I show how power operates to both criminalize and commodify ethno-racialized populations within the structural context of contemporary US racial capitalism. The article concludes by arguing that the case of Corona is at once distinctive and more generally illustrative of similar processes that have occurred in other New York City neighborhoods like the Lower East Side and Williamsburg. Critical Criminology - Subscription at source 15/1/2024 Research article Neck-restraint bans, law enforcement officer unions, and police killings Research Summary: Following high-profile police killings, many U.S. cities banned officers from using chokeholds and other neck restraints. The evidence for such bans, however, is limited. To test whether use-of-force policies prohibiting neck restraints are related to fewer police killings, we use three modeling approaches to analyze 2183 U.S. cities between 2009 and 2021. Police killings were lower in places that adopted neck-restraint bans and the bans were associated with less crime and fewer assaults on officers, net of controls. Because officer labor unions can affect use-of-force policies and the frequency of police killings, we also analyzed them, finding unionization increased the likelihood a city had a neck-restraint ban and had a null or negative association with police killings. Policy Implications: Adopting a neck-restraint ban is likely an effective way to reduce deaths due to police use of force with minimal collateral consequences. The bans operate through a diffuse discouragement of many types of lethal force or as a part of an array of use-of-force policies. Their direct relationship to asphyxiation deaths remains unclear. Officer unionization is unlikely to change the frequency of police killings, except through its association with stricter use-of-force policies. Criminology and Public Policy 15/1/2024 Research article Catch and release: Testing the effect of a citation release policy on crime in Washington, DC Research summary: This study investigated the effect of an expanded police station citation release policy enacted in Washington, DC in March 2020 on eight types of crime: homicide, sex abuse, robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft from motor vehicles, and other theft. Monthly-level multivariate time series analyses employed data from 2013-2022 and accounted for the relationship between crime, arrests, and the jail population. The expanded policy was hypothesized to increase certain property crimes based on the new guidelines, but results indicated the policy modification was associated with changes in citywide crime counts for one type of crime: homicide. Policy implications: Efforts around the United States to decarcerate the pre-trial jail population should examine potential unintended consequences for public safety. The current study failed to detect a statistically significant increase in seven of the eight types of crime during the expanded use of one jail decarceration approach, police station citation release. In the future, jurisdictions looking to reduce their jail population might consider citation release as a speedy and cost-effective alternative to release-on-recognizance, but they should take care to monitor individual defendants and evaluate their own program.
