This NIJ grant is for supporting innovative research into adult offender decision-making. Historically, this field has largely relied on the rational choice model. However, this solicitation aims to significantly broaden existing understanding by exploring the complex process behind the decision to offend. Proposals are sought that either enhance the rational choice framework or incorporate alternative theoretical perspectives, such as behavioral economics, business models, psychology, or cognitive models, or a combination of these approaches. Crucially, proposed studies should also integrate factors like social context, emotional influences, default choices, or environmental dynamics. The ultimate purpose of this funding is to foster a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the overall decision-making processes among adult offenders, enriching the field with diverse insights.

| Description: | The study of adult offender decision-making has typically been approached from the rational choice model. With this solicitation NIJ seeks to expand the existing research by examining the process of adult offender decision-making with respect to the decision to offend. NIJ requests proposals that either expand the rational choice model or use other theories (e.g., behavioral economics, business models, psychology, or cognitive models) or both. Proposed research also should consider issues such as social context, emotions, default choices, or possibly environmental context to help the field gain a better understanding of the overall decision-making process. |
