This Project Grant award for $204,183 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Wake Forest University's Babcock School of Business. The research project, entitled "Examining Compliance, Criminalization, & Carcerality in Legal Systems", investigates the consequences of community supervision programs in both the criminal justice and immigration systems. The multi-method study aims to understand how the state conceptualizes and enforces compliance, how supervised individuals and their families experience compliance, and how compliance dynamics contribute to racial disparities. The project leverages participatory action research methods and compares the criminal justice and immigration realms to highlight parallels and contrasts. The findings are expected to enhance scientific understanding of how seemingly neutral policies and practices can result in negative, racially-patterned experiences, providing a basis for future reform initiatives. The award period runs from Jul 15, 2024 to Jun 30, 2027.
