"To generate high-quality deliberations, juries should be diverse in terms of not only demographics but also viewpoints. Using data from the Survey of Texas Adults (n = 1380), we examine whether existing processes select for individuals who represent the population on a variety of viewpoint characteristics, particularly whether the process of forming juries selects for people who are more independent-minded versus authority-minded. We find, on average, that those who believe in the importance of speaking English, are less compassionate, support Biblical literalism, and express more concern about the community effects of wrongdoing are more likely to have been former jurors than to not have served. Death penalty support is also modestly predictive of jury membership. Non-jurors rate their neighborhoods as cleaner than do former jurors. Results point to composition effects in the summonsing process and to the possibility that some types of people exempt themselves from this civic obligation."

Artis, Julie, and Andrew V. Krebs. 2015. “Family Law and Social Change: Judicial Views of Joint Custody, 1998-2011.” Law and Social Inquiry 40(3):723-45.
"Rapid changes in family life over the last forty years have led to substantial alterations in family law policy; specifically, most states now endorse joint custody arrangements for divorcing families. However, we know little about how lower court judges have embraced or resisted this change. We conducted in‐depth interviews with judges in twenty‐five Indiana jurisdictions in 1998 and 2011. Our findings suggest that judges' views of joint custody dramatically changed. Judges in Wave II indicated a strong preference for joint custody—a theme that was relatively absent in Wave I. The observed change in judicial preferences did not seem to be related to judicial replacement, gender, age, or political party affiliation. Although our conclusions are exploratory, we speculate that shifts in judicial views may be related to changing public mores of parenthood and, relatedly, Indiana's adoption of Parenting Time Guidelines in 2001."

Routledge 2017
Krebs, Andrew, and Mark Warr. 2017. “Differential Association.” Pp. 110-14 in The Routledge Companion to Criminological Theory and Concepts, edited by Avi Brisman, Eamonn Carrabine, and Nigel South. New York: Routledge.
"Differential association is a theory of how individuals learn to engage in criminal behavior. Originally formulated by Edwin Sutherland, it is among the most well-known theories in criminology... Sutherland's theory was radical when it first appeared because it rejected the popular biological theories of crime in favor of a strongly sociological approach to crime. Sutherland argued that criminal behavior is not innate or a result of personal or private experience; instead, it is learned behavior, in the same way that most other human behavior is learned - arising from interaction with other human beings in intimate groups."
