The role of race, gender, and poverty on length of pretrial jail stays: A multi-site analysis
Criminology & Public Policy
Andrea Giuffre (criminal justice) co-authored a study that study examines variations in lengths of pretrial jail stays, differentiating between short and long pretrial stays. Using data from two large jails in metropolitan jurisdictions, the researchers took an intersectional perspective and model potential differences among race, gender, and residing in a high-poverty area. In both locations, they found that Black men are the most likely to have long lengths of stay, but that length of stay varies depending on the intersection of gender, race, and neighborhood poverty.

D.C. Jewish man assaulted by attacker yelling about Israel-Gaza war
The Washington Post
July 12, 2024
Brian Levin, the former director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University at San Bernardino, was interviewed for an article about a Jewish man whose alleged attacker yelled about the Israel-Gaza war.
Levin continues to closely track hate-crime data, said this kind of reaction to a war thousands of miles away is unfortunately typical in the United States. In the past, he said, Middle East conflicts involving Israel led to anti-Jewish hate, and he has seen a surge in anti-Muslim hate after terrorist attacks like the one on Sept. 11, 2001, and during overseas military conflicts.
“It's an exceptionally bad, historically bad moment,” Levin said. “When the flames of hate are burning this intensely, these are incredibly risky times for even worse types of attacks on a more mass scale.”
