Persistence and Potential Lethality in Intimate Partner Violence
This study seeks to determine the concurrent and predictive validity of a dual risk assessment protocol. It combines the risk of persistence in intimate partner violence (IPV) measured via the Domestic Violence Screening Instrument-Revised (DVSI-R) with supplemental items from the Danger Risk Assessment (DRA) bearing on the risk of potential lethality. We further test whether this assessment protocol reproduces disparities by race and ethnicity f…
Businesses, Places, and Homicide
This paper empirically examines the relations between homicide rates by age (adults 18 to 24 and adults 25 or older), the tattoo shop density, on-site and off-site alcohol outlets, and disadvantage. It offers an additional explanation for the relation between alcohol outlets and homicide besides alcohol availability and consumption being facilitators of such lethal violence, suggesting that these businesses are a proxy for attracting those most p…
A Pilot Randomized Trial of Community‐Based Parent Training for Immigrant Latina Mothers
This paper reports on the development and piloting of the Madres a Madres (Mothers to Mothers) program, a new, community‐based parent training program designed for immigrant Latina mothers and their children. Promotoras , or female community health workers of Latina background, delivered the program in a home visitation format. A total of 194 mothers and 194 focal children (87 male, 107 female) ages 7–12 were randomized to the intervention (113 m…
Understanding Bullying and Victimization During Childhood and Adolescence
In the present study, quantitative and qualitative data are presented to examine individual and contextual predictors of bullying and victimization and how they vary by age and gender. Two waves of survey data were collected from 2,678 elementary, middle, and high school youth attending 59 schools. In addition, 14 focus groups were conducted with 115 youth who did not participate in the survey. Changes in both bullying and victimization were pred…
Preventing Children's Aggression in Immigrant Latino Families
The effectiveness of the evidence based program, Families and Schools Together (FAST), was examined in two inter‐related studies with immigrant Latino (Mexican) families in the U.S. In Study 1, we reported findings from pre‐test, 3‐month post‐test, and 12‐month follow‐up surveys of parents and children participating in the FAST program. Families were selected from communities that were randomly assigned to either intervention or control groups. A…
The Jamaica Youth Survey
IntroductionTHERE IS GLOBAL INTEREST in promoting healthy youth development and preventing antisocial and problem behaviour during adolescence.1 Not only is positive development an important goal in its own right, linked to academic achievement and socioeconomic success,2 but many social and emotional competencies also decrease risk for antisocial behaviours that compromise individual health and development and exact costs for society.3 Among ado…

Predictors of bullying and victimization in childhood and adolescence
Research on the predictors of 3 bully status groups (bullies, victims, and bully victims) for school-age children and adolescents was synthesized using meta-analytic procedures. The primary purpose was to determine the relative strength of individual and contextual predictors to identify targets for prevention and intervention. Age and how bullying was measured were also considered as moderators. From an original pool of 1,622 studies conducted s…
Prevalence and Predictors of Internet Bullying
Intimacy and Homicide
The Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR) of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program remains the most accessible and widely used database on lethal violence in the United States. However, researchers using this database must address the problem of missing data, which typically is the result of the failure to file, inconsistent filing of reports to the FBI by local police agencies, or incomplete records about the characteristics of specific incide…
Social Bonding and the Cessation of Partner Violence Across Generations
This study examines the connection between violent family heritage and violence or nonviolence in adult intimate relationships using the social bonding theory approach. Data were obtained from Williams and Straus National Panel Survey of Deterrence Processes (NPS) a follow-up to the National Family Violence Resurvey. The NPS interviewed married and cohabiting respondents over the age of 18 years by telephone in 1986 and 1987. Measure of exposure …
Gender, Intimacy, and Lethal Violence
Only a few studies have disaggregated homicide rates by relationship type or gender, with little investigation of homicide trends in adult marital and other intimate relationships. The current study documents patterns of homicide between opposite gender relational partners for the twelve years of 1976 through 1987 based on Supplementary Homicide Report Data, comparing rates between couples in marital and nonmarital relationships. Analyses reveal …
Social Sources of Marital Violence and Deterrence
The Meaning of Arrest for Wife Assault
The social meaning of wife assault has changed in recent years for both citizens and formal social control agents. Research on deterrence has been partly responsible for modifying police responses to domestic violence. Police are increasingly adopting pro‐arrest policies for wife assault, but little is known about perceptions held by assaulters concerning the consequences of arrest for their life circumstances. Using national survey data from sam…
Exploring the Effect of Resource Availability and the Likelihood of Female-Perpetrated Homicides
The research presented here examines the effect of legal and extralegal resources on the likelihood of female-perpetrated homicides. It looks at the relationship between gender-specific rates of partner homicide in the United States for 1976-79 and 1980-84, and the availability of legal and extralegal resources for abused women, using states as the unit of analysis. Results indicate that the availability of such resources is associated with a dec…
Controlling Male Aggression in Intimate Relationships
Legal control of aggressive acts within the family must be assessed against a background of other familial controls. This study identifies factors that control male aggression against female partners in intimate relationships. Hirschi's (1969) theory of the social bond, applied almost exclusively to delinquency, is used to test the importance of attachments, commitments, involvement, and beliefs in controlling husband-to-wife assault. By looking …
The Social Production of Criminal Homicide
The growing research on comparative studies of homicide in the United States reveals significant methodological advances but inconsistent findings. A major goal is to identify sources of inconsistency and accumulate more valid and reliable results. This analysis empirically examines a major problem with most previous comparative studies-the failure to disaggregate the overall homicide rate into more refined and conceptually meaningful categories …
Family, Acquaintance, and Stranger Homicide
This paper describes the extent of missing data within the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR), collected as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program of the FBI. The yearly SHR provides coded information on the victim, the offender, and the circumstances of all reported homicides in the United States. Thus, the data allow the computation of specific kinds of homicide rates, such as those involving family members, acquaintances, and strangers. …
Perceptual Research on General Deterrence
Recent perceptual studies of general deterrence have been guided by an unnecessarily narrow conception of general deterrence, despite the methodological advances in this type of research. These studies, moreover, have failed to recognize the complexity of the perceptual processes that intervene between the threat or experience of legal sanctions and behavioral outcomes. Consequently, the conclusions drawn from the findings about the process of ge…
Dependence, Political Exclusion, and Government Repression
We examine the hypotheses, derived from the dependencylworld-system literature, that the degree of penetration of peripheral countries by foreign capital contributes to the formal exclusion of nonelite political participation and to the greater frequency with which governments actively repress opposition. Analysis of cross-national data from the 1960s and 1970s provides only weak support for the first hypothesis. Further, no direct effects of dep…
Economic Sources of Homicide
A tradition of research has consistently found that poverty is a major economic source of homicide. Two studies have recently presented findings that call this research tradition into question. The studies are reviewed, and it is argued that these contradictory findings are the result of an incorrect specification of the relationship between poverty and the homicide rate. Revised estimates of the effect of poverty are reported which show that it …

Deterrence and Knowledge of Statutory Penalties
This study examines deterrence theory in light of three questions. First, is there an inverse relation between crime rates and maximum statutory penalties? Second, is there an inverse relation between crime rates and maximum penalties as perceived by potential offenders? Third, what is the accuracy of those perceptions? Classical versions of deterrence theory seemingly assume that the perceptions of potential offenders are substantially accurate,…
Potential for crime and knowledge of legal sanctions
The importance of knowledge of legal sanctions for deterrence is debatable, but the debate can be resolved only through exploratory research on the subject Using survey data, this research compares individuals in terms of the degree to which they accurately perceive statutory maximum prison sentences for 19 types of crimes. Contrary to expectations, evidence that high‐potential offenders perceived statutory maximums significantly more accurately …
Public Knowledge of Statutory Penalties
Statutory penalties may deter potential offenders from criminal activity, but any argument along that line entails assumptions about the public's knowledge of those penalties. Using survey data obtained from 2400 adults residents of Tucson, Arizona, this research examines perceptions of the applicability and the maximums of five types of penalties for nineteen types of crimes. Respondents do associate types of penalties (e.g., imprisonment) with …

Social Structure, Crime and Criminalization
Using available data from a variety of secondary sources, this research examines the empirical validity of arguments maintained by conflict theorists about the interrelations among economic inequality, the incidence of crime, and the official crinrinalization of people through arrest. The reported findings, although not definitive, suggest that official criminalization may be a function of the structure of dominant/subordinate relations within po…

The Protestant Ethic Thesis
It is no exaggeration to say that subsequent evidence in support of Weber' thesis has been historical and “institutional.” Conversely, almost all research claiming to negate the thesis has involved social-psychological variables. A review of this latter research, however, reveals no instance where the relationship between a Protestant Ethic attitude and a capitalistic spirit attitude is investigated. Instead, the former is inferred from one' chur…
