“Moving choice to center stage” in the relationship between the self and offending
Symbolic interactionism (SI) and rational choice (RC) can inform two parts of one process in which an individual's self guides their choice to offend. Building on the work of others who have referenced their theoretical compatibility, I draw explicit connections between the key concepts of each perspective to propose an integrated framework for examining variation in offending both between- and within-persons. The framework proposes a process by …
Neighborhood Disadvantage, Social Groups, and Adolescent Violence
Structural-cultural perspectives link contextual characteristics to interactions with associates who transmit definitions favorable to crime, thus influencing behavior. Drawing on this, we predict that: (1) adolescents in disadvantaged neighborhoods will be more likely to have parents, friends, and schoolmates who hold violent rationalizations, (2) exposure to associates who hold violent rationalizations will increase an adolescent’s own violent …
One World, Many Stories
This Teaching Note examines the implementation of a full-semester course model for digital exchanges between students across countries. The model, Global Understanding, created and administered by East Carolina University, is a platform for humanistic pedagogy that dovetails seamlessly with sociological content, methods, and principles. Through an examination of student writing products, this account considers how the course exemplifies humanisti…
Estimating Latent Preferences for Crime
Latent preferences feature prominently in rational choice and symbolic interaction theories but are difficult to capture empirically. To address this limitation, we introduce a discrete choice random utility model to estimate latent preferences for risk. Using data from the Pathways to Desistance study, we estimate the statistical model and demonstrate the usefulness of the preference estimates. We find that risk preferences vary between- and wit…
Reflected appraisals across multiple reference groups
School Cohesion Perception Discrepancy and Student Delinquency
Beyond the Breakfast Club
Rather than mitigating behavioral issues, exclusionary school disciplinary practices can actually increase student misbehavior and school dropout. However, the impact these sanctions have on students may vary based on school climate, particularly whether the environment is inclusive or punitive. Relying on a sample of over 2,000 students within 26 schools, we examine whether school climate shapes the impact of suspension on future delinquency and…
Applying an equity lens to interventions
Reporting of Informed Consent, Standard of Care and Post‐trial Obligations in Global Randomized Intervention Trials
Objective: Ethical guidelines are designed to ensure benefits, protection and respect of participants in clinical research. Clinical trials must now be registered on open‐access databases and provide details on ethical considerations. This systematic survey aimed to determine the extent to which recently registered clinical trials report the use of standard of care and post‐trial obligations in trial registries, and whether trial characteristics …
