Really proud of the team effort on this new article. We argue that, well before a conviction, people with pending charges are transformed into “incipient carceral citizens” who must reckon with uncertainty and a constricted social and legal landscape. doi.org/10.1177/1462...

If anybody ever accuses me of not being American again, I will tell them about the time I went to the Bahamas during spring break. @catherinetan.bsky.social and I were invited to questionable, adults-only events. We read books and went to bed early instead.

Yes, because incarceration has always been about practicality in America, right? Super practical to systematically destroy entire families and communities. Very sensible.

Ending the year with a new article! I explore how family members of men who have engaged in violence draw on narrative techniques found in fictional literature to make sense of their loved ones’ actions. Criminologists, the humanities have so much to offer us!
