Starr Solomon

Starr Solomon is Associate Professor in Sociology and Criminology at Kent State University, researching policing legitimacy and juvenile decision-making. As faculty co-advisor for Alpha Phi Sigma honor society, she mentors criminal justice students.

Research Focus: Her experimental criminology work examines:

• Procedural justice in police encounters
• Race and social bond interactions in delinquency
• Gender dynamics in law enforcement careers

Publication Analysis: Solomon's recent articles (2021-2023) demonstrate methodological innovation through factorial vignette studies testing procedural justice hypotheses, while earlier work (2016-2019) established foundations in biosocial criminology and developmental risk pathways. Her scholarship consistently addresses racial disparities in justice system experiences.
