Abstract
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks applications for the W.E.B. Du Bois Fellowship for Research on Race, Gender, Culture, and Crime FY 2014. The Fellowship program seeks to advance knowledge regarding the confluence of crime, justice, and culture in various societal contexts. The Fellowship places particular emphasis on crime, violence, and the administration of criminal justice in diverse cultural contexts within the United States.
The Fellowship provides talented researchers with an opportunity to elevate independently generated research and ideas to the level of national discussion. Prospective fellows should propose research that speaks directly to issues related to criminal justice, violence, and the administration of criminal justice in diverse cultural contexts within the United States.
Residency at NIJ is not a fellowship program requirement; however, it is an option for fellowship recipients.
Applicants may choose from, but are not limited to, the following list of broad topic areas:
– Courts, sentencing, probation, institutional corrections, and parole: Determine the influence of race, ethnicity, gender, and culture on prosecutorial charging decisions, sentencing practices, access to quality defense services for the indigent, and disparities in representation; consider the needs of diverse populations within correctional systems and current programmatic responses addressing rehabilitation and offender reintegration for situations that race, gender, or culture may prove relevant.
– Police-community relations: Consider the impact of race, ethnicity, gender, and culture on law enforcement effectiveness and perceptions of justice; weigh factors of language, culture, and socio-historical perceptions of law enforcement as these issues affect the ability of police–as individuals and organizations–to serve communities.
– Civil rights: Research the preservation of civil rights as juxtaposed to the preservation of public safety, order, and the administration of justice.
– Immigration, crime, and victimization: Examine the incidence of crime, hate crime, violence, and victimization within immigrant populations; justice system responses; justice system innovations addressing the needs of immigrant populations; and illegal immigration, with a focus on law enforcement issues and the administration of justice in the United States.
– Culture and Crime: Investigate crime, violence, substance abuse, and justice system interactions in particular cultural settings; explore the role of race, ethnicity, and culture-specific norms within particular cultural contexts; consider implications for increasing knowledge and developing policies and programmatic responses that take these factors into account.
