Congratulations to Dr. Ethan Amidon for a recent publication. Along with Drs. Andres Rengifo and Donald Stemen, Dr. Amidon had a manuscript accepted for publication in Criminology, the top-ranked academic journal in the criminal justice field. This manuscript, entitled “When policy comes to town: Discourses and dilemmas of implementation of a statewide reentry policy in Kansas,” focuses on the challenges to reform implementation posed by line staff, supervisors and managers during a large-scale realignment of the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC). Their research describes how varying challenges to the reforms reflect actors’ positions within the organization, the local contexts in which they operate and more general frames of interpretation of the long-term orientation of the KDOC.
