This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will fund a $174,864 research project at the University of Michigan to study the effects of measurement error regarding race and ethnicity in U.S. criminal justice data. The research aims to: (i) measure the extent of discordance between survey and administrative race/ethnicity data on justice-involved individuals, (ii) identify factors that increase...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research to develop impact-aware machine learning models for risk assessment in juvenile justice systems. The University of Arizona will design a framework that incorporates the effects of interventions on recidivism risk while achieving individual fairness and data privacy. The researchers will adapt potential outcomes frameworks from causal inference to build models...
This Project Grant award for $170,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship for an early career scientist to investigate the relationship between the quantification of the penal sector and social inequality, with a focus on how communities perceive and negotiate predictive policing models. The research aims to provide empirical insights into the emergence...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $204,183 to Wake Forest University to conduct research on the experiences and impacts of community supervision programs in both the criminal justice and immigration systems. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how state actors enforce compliance with supervision requirements, 2) understand how supervised individuals and their families experience...
This Project Grant award of $446,338 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to address the civil justice gap in the United States. The key objectives are to: 1) Map community perceptions of the legal system and civil justice problems, 2) Identify predictors of legal assistance seeking and successful problem-solving outside the legal system, 3) Develop and disseminate a community-based access-to-justice...
This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) under the NIJ Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program (CFDA 16.560) aims to examine the relationship between crime, social vulnerability, and policy outcomes through interpretable machine learning methods. The award will leverage crime data and the Social Vulnerability Index to explore representational and algorithmic bias in predicting crime based on community...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) project grant award of $148,800 supports an 8-week summer REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program for 12 undergraduate students at the University of Texas at Austin. The program aims to cultivate a new generation of scholars to conduct research on the demography of the criminal justice system. Through a combination of classroom learning, research skill development workshops,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,012,381.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant will advance the understanding of firearm possession among young adults, aged 15-24, living in urban high-crime communities. The study will use grounded theory methods to examine factors driving firearm possession across gender and incarceration status, and across multiple study sites. The project will be...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $585,775 to Arizona State University (ASU) will fund a 3-year study to examine how categorical forensic decisions made by experts can contribute to wrongful convictions. The project will test whether an alternative forensic reporting metric can improve communication between forensic experts and legal decision-makers, and assess the effectiveness of expert testimony in...
This $138,441 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to develop explainable AI models to increase transparency in how juvenile risk assessment scores are used within the juvenile justice system. The project, led by the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (Odurf), will analyze quantitative and qualitative data on the current use of risk assessment scores and then train interpretable machine...
