Biography
Karen F.
Parker is currently Interim Chair and Professor of Sociology and Criminology at
the University of Delaware in the Department of Sociology and Criminal
Justice. She was elected to serve on the American Society of Criminology executive board (2012-2015), an elected
council member of the Crime, Law and Deviance section of the American
Sociological Association (2006-2008; 2010-2012) and a research associate with the National Poverty Center, Gerald R. Ford School of
Public Policy at the University of Michigan since 2007.
Professor
Parker's research interests include exploring the influence of macro-level
constructs on urban violence, particularly labor markets, racial segregation,
immigration and concentrated disadvantage. Much of her recent work has
incorporated longitudinal models to examine how changes in the local urban
economy differentially influence race-specific homicide rates over time and
detailed examinations of the American crime drop. One of her more recent
research interest is examining the role of African American owned businesses on
the decline in black youth violence in urban areas throughout the United
States. Her work in this area has received attention by scholars and the larger
public. She was recently invited to give
a workshop co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business
Development Agency (MBDA) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ).
She has
more than 45 publications and her research has been published in Criminology,
American Journal of Public Health, Social Science Research, Social
Forces, Urban Affairs Review, Feminist Criminology, Justice
Quarterly and Journal of Quantitative Criminology. Her
book, Unequal Crime Decline (2008 NYU Press), documents the
role of labor market segmentation on the racial disparities in violence over
time.
