The Community in Rural America
This revised edition of The Community in Rural America, by Kenneth P. Wilkinson presents Wilkinson's ground-breaking work in its original form and contains a new foreword aimed at clarifying several key concepts in interactional theory.--Provided by publisher.
The Community in Rural America
Suicide and rurality in Alabama communities
Past Activeness, Solidarity, and Local Development Efforts1
Actions by local groups and leaders constitute an essential but poorly understood element of many rural development strategies. Previous studies suggest that local development efforts can influence community change, but questions remain about why localities differ in mobilization to achieve development goals. Drawing upon community field theory and human ecology, this study uses data for rural school districts in Pennsylvania to examine the argum…
Growth Promotion Activities in Rural Areas
Can leaders in small towns and surrounding areas actually influence local economic and demographic growth? Competing views but few studies of this issue characterize recent debates about the effects of 'growth machines' in local areas. This paper uses alternative indicators of growth during the 1980s for a sample of local areas in rural Pennsylvania to examine the effects of development efforts, controlling ecological and structural characteristi…

The Community in Rural America
Severe Child Maltreatment in Ecological Perspective
Social workers and other human service professionals who practice in the energy-development "boomtowns' of the western United States report dramatic increases in the abuse and neglect of children. The comparative research to-date however has given little attention to the ecological processes that precede these increases. This study uses a pooled cross-sectional time-series design to estimate the effects of various aspects of energy development on…
Social Policy and the Rural Setting
Violent Crime in the Western Energy-Development Region
Case studies of “boom towns” in the western United States and the theory of social disorganization predict positive effects of recent growth and energy development on the violent crime rate in small towns and rural areas. Regression results, with controls for local characteristics prior to the energy boom of the 1970s, give little evidence of additive effects of recent growth and energy development on the violent crime rate in nonmetropolitan cou…
A Research Note on Homicide and Rurality
Use of county data from Vital Statistics permits a more adequate test of the effect of rurality on the homicide rate than found in previous literature. With controls for other correlates of homicide, regression findings show a strong positive effect of rurality in counties of the northeastern United States. A suggested interpretation is that rurality reduces the probability of community integration in a modern society
Divorce and Recent Net Migration into the Old West
Kenneth P. Wilkinson, Robert R. Reynolds, Jr., James G. Thompson, Lawrence M. Ostresh, Divorce and Recent Net Migration into the Old West, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 45, No. 2 (May, 1983), pp. 437-445
Local Social Disruption and Western Energy Development
The assumption that energy development causes social disruption in western communities is based on undocumented assertions, questionable interpretations of evidence, and superficial analyses. Theory used implicitly in research on western communities that are affected by energy development is inconsistent with the history of the region and with recent developments in community research. The literature provides suggestions for research, but improve…
Local Social Disruption and Western Energy Development
Evaluation of the Mississippi AFDC Experiment
Three innovative program concepts-work experience with incentive income, special welfare services other than financial assistance, and increased financial assistance-were introduced in a demonstration program involving AFDC clients in two predominantly rural Mississippi counties over a one-year period. Before-and-after interviews of 181 adult female clients randomly assigned to program groups and a control group revealed changes in economic statu…
Sociological Perspectives of Domestic Development
Problems in Research on Community Violence
The Community as A Social Field
A field concept of social organization is proposed as an alternative to systems theory with special reference to the case of the community. Field notions in physics, biology, and psychology are shown to reflect a view of reality as emergent and dynamic. The concept of the field is distinguished from the method of field analysis. The assumptions of interactional theory are taken as a frame of reference for delineating characteristics of the social…
