REU Site: Communities, Crime, and Criminal Justice in Detroit (C3JD)

该项目由SBE理事会的本科生研究经验（REU）站点计划资助。它具有科学和社会效益，并将研究和教育相结合。社区、犯罪和刑事司法在底特律（C3JD） REU为选定的本科生提供严格和高度支持的经验，他们将学习并积极参与研究过程的各个组成部分。C3JD REU项目的重点是推进社区，犯罪和刑事司法交叉问题的研究。这包括三个不同的研究项目：1)影响底特律居民在应对犯罪时呼吁正式和非正式形式的社会控制的意愿的因素；2)感知合法性和程序正义对底特律居民与警方合作的影响程度；3)底特律的拆迁计划是美国迄今为止规模最大的，它影响了底特律居民对社区、犯罪和刑事司法系统的看法。支持来自代表性不足背景的学生通常将有助于未来高等教育的平等和健康。让代表性不足的学生参与重要的、高影响力的研究项目，也会丰富犯罪学和刑事司法研究的整体价值和影响。C3JD REU计划为来自传统上代表性不足的背景的学生提供了一个独特的机会，以发展他们对研究的概念理解和他们对如何通过各种方法进行研究的实际理解。学生可以获得有意义的指导，帮助他们了解学术界的社会世界，从而对他们将要走上的专业和/或学术道路有更深入的了解。C3JD REU项目：1)招收不同群体的本科生；2)为学生提供教师重要的指导；3)培养学生对研究过程的理解；4)为学生提供有关研究成果传播的各种机制和途径的指导；5)为学生进入竞争激烈的研究生课程做准备。完成C3JD REU项目并加强对研究和循证实践的理解的学生已经开发出一套技能，使他们为开始下一阶段的职业生涯做好充分准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project is funded from the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program in the SBE Directorate. It has both scientific and societal benefits, and integrates research and education. The Communities, Crime, & Criminal Justice in Detroit (C3JD) REU provides selected undergraduate students with a rigorous and highly supportive experience in which they will learn about and actively engage with the various components of the research process. The focus of C3JD REU projects is to advance research on issues at the intersection of communities, crime, and criminal justice. This includes three distinct research projects that examine: 1) the factors that influence Detroit residents’ willingness to call upon formal and informal forms of social control in responding to crime; 2) the degree to which perceived legitimacy and procedural justice affect Detroit residents’ cooperation with police; and 3) the ways in which Detroit’s demolitions program, by far the largest in the U.S., has impacted Detroit residents’ views of their communities, of crime, and of the criminal justice system. Supporting students from under-represented backgrounds will generally contribute to the future equality and health of higher education. Involvement of under-represented students in important, high-impact research projects also stands to enrich the overall value and impact of research in Criminology and Criminal Justice.The C3JD REU Program provides students from traditionally under-represented backgrounds with a unique opportunity to develop their conceptual understanding of research and their practical understanding of how to conduct research through a variety of methodologies. Students receive access to meaningful forms of mentorship that help them understand the social world of academia and consequently establish a greater understanding of the professional and/or academic pathways that they will embark on. The C3JD REU Program: 1) recruits a diverse pool of underrepresented undergraduate students; 2) provides students significant mentorship from faculty; 3) develops students’ understanding of the research process; 4) provides students with guidance on the various mechanisms and pathways involved in the dissemination of research findings; and 5) prepares students for entrance into competitive graduate programs. Students who complete the C3JD REU Program and strengthen their understanding of research and evidence-based practices have developed a skillset that makes them well prepared to embark on the next stage of their careersThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
