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。它兼具科学和社会效益，集研究和教育于一体。底特律社区、犯罪和刑事司法(C3JD)REU为选定的本科生提供严格和高度支持的体验，在其中他们将了解并积极参与研究过程的各个组成部分。C3JD REU项目的重点是推进对社区、犯罪和刑事司法交叉点问题的研究。这包括三个不同的研究项目，分别考察：1)影响底特律居民在应对犯罪时愿意呼吁正式和非正式形式的社会控制的因素；2)感知的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)底特律拆迁计划对底特律居民对社区、犯罪和刑事司法系统的看法的影响方式。底特律拆迁计划是迄今为止美国规模最大的拆迁计划。支持来自代表性不足背景的学生通常有助于促进未来高等教育的平等和健康。代表不足的学生参与重要的、有影响力的研究项目也将丰富犯罪学和刑事司法研究的整体价值和影响。C3JD REU方案为来自传统代表不足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践理解。学生可以获得有意义的指导形式，帮助他们了解学术界的社会世界，从而更好地了解他们将走上的专业和/或学术道路。C3JD REU计划：1)招收不同类型的未被充分代表的本科生；2)从教师那里为学生提供重要的指导；3)发展学生对研究过程的理解；4)为学生提供有关传播研究成果的各种机制和途径的指导；以及5)为学生进入竞争性研究生课程做好准备。完成C3JD REU计划并加强他们对研究和基于证据的实践的理解的学生发展了一套技能，使他们为开始下一阶段的职业生涯做好了充分准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
