Reconsidering Race, Class, and Residential Segregation in American Cities
Scholars have often discounted social class as a substantial contributor to residential segregation by race, in part as a result of using the dissimilarity index, which is likely to show high levels of uneven group distribution regardless of socioeconomic status (SES), and in part as a result of using limited categories of SES. This study expands on prior research by examining residential segregation between black-alone and white-alone households…
The Heartland Responds to Terror
Objective . We examine volunteering to support the relief effort after the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. We address two issues: (1) how widespread was volunteering and what forms did it take, and (2) does Wilson and Musick’s (1997a) “integrated theory of volunteer work” help to explain variation in volunteering in this disaster situation? Methods . We use data from the 1996 Oklahoma City Survey (OKC Survey). The 1996 OKC Survey is based…
The Concentration of Affluence in the United States, 1990
The author examines the concentration of affluent households in affluent neighborhoods in U.S. metropolitan areas in 1990. The rate of concentrated affluence, the percentage of affluent households living in affluent neighborhoods, is considered for the total population and separately for blacks and whites. Also, differences in the rate of concentrated affluence between blacks and whites are explored. Models of concentrated affluence that incorpor…
Age, Racial Prejudice and Fear of Criminal Victimization in Public Settings
In this paper we examine the extent to which racial (antiblack) prejudice influences the positive relationship between age and fear of criminal victimization in public settings among whites. We hypothesize that elderly white adults are more prejudiced than younger white adults, that this prejudice causes them to be especially fearful of black strangers, and that this heightened fear of blacks results in greater fear of criminal victimization amon…
Racial Prejudice and Fear of Criminal Victimization by Strangers in Public Settings
In this article we examine the extent to which racial (antiblack) prejudice conditions the effect of the race of strangers encountered in public settings on whites' fear of being crime victims in those settings. We hypothesize that encountering black strangers. as opposed to white strangers, evokes greater fear of being a crime victim in prejudiced whites than in whites who are not prejudiced. Data collected using the factorial survey method supp…
Racial Differences in Intraurban Residential Mobility
The literature shows that African-Americans live in lower-quality residential environments than their socioeconomic status would predict. Researchers suggest that African-Americans move within cities less often than whites and/or improve their residential environments less when moving. Alternatively, African-Americans might move as frequently as whites and improve their residential environments as much when they move, but they operate from an ini…
Life cycle differences in neighborhood satisfaction
We hypothesize that life cycle differences in expectations for improvements in financial status and neighborhood quality influence life cycle differences in neighborhood satisfaction. We argue that these differences in expectations influence the standards against which current neighborhoods are assessed. Satisfaction should be greatest among the life cycle stages where expectations and current conditions are most similar. Our data support this hy…

The Organizationally Dependent Community
We introduce the concept "organizationally dependent" community to describe communities that lack the basis for developing attachment through informal social integration and in which the primary source of attachment is participation in formal organizations created to protect the community from outside threats. Neighborhoods experiencing residential renovation are examples of organizationally dependent communities. Because renovators are newcomers…
Sexual behavior and nonsexual deviance
Racial Differences in Neighborhood Evaluation Standards
It is implicit in the literature on neighborhood satisfaction that individuals or groups of people have different standards for evaluating the quality of their neighborhoods—different standards being the result of differences in past experiences or adaptations to present circumstances. However, to date, there has been no research that has tested for individual or group differences in evaluation standards. In this research the hypothesis that blac…
The question of community attachment revisited
In this paper we compare the relative effects of satisfaction with specific community (neighborhood) attributes and social integration into the community on community attachment. Previous research on community attachment has not assessed the importance of satisfaction with specific attributes as a determinant of attachment. Instead, this research has focussed on integration into the social life of a community as the primary source of community at…
Essays in Human Ecology--2
This collection of essays by various authors is devoted to theoretical and methodological aspects of the study of human ecology research techniques and computer programs. The topics covered include the identification and delineation of ecological community areas computerized analysis of census tract data census tract comparability the estimation of inter-censal migration for small areas socio-spatial contours for ecological analysis ecological de…
Sociological Human Ecology
This book which consists of 11 papers by various authors is an attempt to provide an overview and synthesis of the field of sociological human ecology. This field is concerned with how human populations survive within the constraints of a limited and changing environment. The historical development of the concept of sociological human ecology is first outlined. The various authors then examine spatial and temporal variations in the forms of socia…
Essays in Human Ecology-2
Intervention analysis
The preceding article by Hogan suggests both that our earlier (Rindfuss et al. 1978) did not contain any statistical data to support our assertions and that our conclusions were wrong. If Hogan wishes to deny that ours was a formal statistical analysis he is entitled to his definition but he certainly does not dispute two of our original observations each extremely unlikely under a hypothesis of chance variation only: (a) that birthrates declined…
Neutralization and Tax Evasion
The failure of individuals to pay their taxes in full is a serious budgetary problem for the federal government. Existing research (Schwartz and Orleans, 1967; Grasmick and Scott, 1982) suggests that efforts to increase the guilt feelings experienced for tax evasion might improve compliance. However, neutralization theory (Sykes and Matza, 1957) predicts that guilt feelings can be reduced by neutralization strategies which justify guilt‐producing…
Education and the Timing of Motherhood
Racial differences in dimensions of neighborhood satisfaction
Social Determinants of Age at First Birth
A womans 1st birth is 1 of the most significant events in her life. It signifies her taking on the roles and responsibilities of a mother often to the exclusion of further education and career building roles. The earlier these roles and responsibilities are undertaken the less likely are alternatives to be taken and the greater is the expected quantity and pace of subsequent childbearing. Consequently this paper explores the social determinants o…

Education and Fertility
The interplay between education and fertility has a significant influence on the roles women occupy, when in their life cycle they occupy these roles, and the length of time spent in these roles. The overall inverse relationship between education and fertility is well known; but little is known about the theoretical and empirical basis of this relationship. This paper explores the theoretical linkages between education and fertility and examines …

Race differences in age at first birth and the pace of subsequent fertility
We examine race differences in the effects of age at first birth on the pace of subsequent fertility. If race differences in the pace of fertility persist net of age at first birth and socioeconomic variables, they will be taken as new support for the minority group status hypothesis. Data from the 1973 National Survey of Family Growth are analyzed with the finding that race differences in the pace of fertility are real, giving support to the hyp…
