Lack of Confidence in Police Creates a “Blue Ceiling” for Sex Workers' Safety
Confidence in the police is fundamental to citizens' willingness to report unlawful behaviour, share intelligence about crime, seek help when victimized, and generally comply with the law. Marginalized groups overwhelmingly report a lack of confidence that police will apply the law fairly. Although sex work research reports a wide range of negative experiences with the police, it is not known how common these experiences are because most research…
The Lost Creek Fire
This paper examines some of the social processes associated with disaster conditions. Utilising an asset-based perspective of community capacity, it focuses on four types of normative systems to interpret the ability of communities to manage disasters through market-, bureaucratic-, associative-, and communal-based norms. Drawing on experience of a wildfire in the Crowsnest Pass region of southwest Alberta, Canada, in 2003, the tensions and compa…
Scientific Knowledge and Rural Policy
This article examines the extent to which social science evidence is considered by community leaders in small towns and rural areas. It uses secondary analysis of 18 transcriptions from interviews in rural regions within two Canadian provinces to examine what types of support (if any) are used by respondents to justify their claims and assess the extent to which they depend on systematically collected and analysed evidence. The results indicate t…
The Informal Economy in Non-Metropolitan Canada
L'auteur de cet article examine la relation existant entre les économies formelle et informelle, avec des apergus provenant de la recherche sur le Canada rural. L'économie informelle comprend la production, la distribution et la consommation de biens et services ayant une valeur économique, mais qui ne sont ni protégés par un code de loi formel ni enregistrés par des organismes de réglementation endossés par le gouvernement. Plusieurs allégations…
Re‐thinking local autonomy
Led by larger urban municipalities, the current municipal reform agenda in Canada places considerable emphasis on the issue of local autonomy. This article looks at how this agenda might affect smaller rural municipalities, since the assumption seems to be that one can simply re‐size and re‐shape policy prescriptions from urban and suburban contexts to fit rural areas. Drawing on the lessons learned from an eight‐year project titled “Understandin…
Social Capital as Social Relations
This paper presents a framework for social capital that highlights the normative structures through which it is manifested. The primary focus is on the ways that norms structure the relationships in which social capital is embedded. To this end, we introduce four types of normative structures which condition social capital: market, bureaucratic, associative, and communal. A field site in Japan is used to illustrate how different aspects of social…
Modernisation, rapports de production et division sexuelle du travail à la ferme, comité de Montmagny, 1951-1981
En étudiant la division du travail sur la ferme, il faudra tenir compte du degré de modernisation de l'entreprise et de celui de sa dépendance des rapports de production capitalistes. L'analyse indique qu'il se combine pour influer sur les rôles sexuels, mais pas d'une façon simple : chez les hommes, les activités ménagères et agricoles et le travail hors ferme sont davantage influencés par la modification des rapports de production, alors que l'…
Social Exclusion in a Comparative Context
This paper outlines a framework for understanding social exclusion that is multidimensional, dynamic, multi-leveled, and relational. Inspired by Polanyi's classification of the modes of economic inclusion, we propose that social inclusion and exclusion processes are rooted in four types of social relations: market (exchange and barter), bureaucratic (rational-legal), associative (common interest), and communal (complex reciprocity and shared iden…
A Sample Frame for Rural Canada
This paper discusses the design, implementation and evaluation of a national sample frame for research and education in rural Canada. The sample is the basis for a multidisciplinary research project using macro-level and fieldwork in 32 systematically selected rural sites. The sites were chosen to provide comparisons on five dimensions of importance to researchers, policy makers and rural citizens. Information collected since the establishment of…

Farm Mechanization
Sources of farm labour in contemporary Quebec
La présente étude porte principalement sur des données concernant les diverses sources et activités du travail agricole dans une petite paroisse du Québec. On y démontre l'importance du travail non‐rémunéré de la famille au niveau de la production agricole, l'étendue de l'utilisation de travailleurs marginaux comme source de travail rémunéré, ainsi que l'importante contribution des membres du foyer a la reproduction de cette unite par leur travai…
Participation Rates in New Religious and Para-Religious Movements
This article analyzes participation rates in new religious and para-religious movements, as indicated by surveys administered in Montreal in 1975 and 1980. When these movements are broadly defined to include various charismatic and semi-religious therapy and martial arts groups, then the survey data indicate both a comparative high rate of participation but also a remarkably high rate for dropping out of these movements. The average participant a…
