  • Unintended Consequences of Punishment

    Joan MccordCHAPTERCorporal Punishment of Children…2017

    Because punishments are intended to control children9s behavior, many people assume that the major—and perhaps the sole—consequence of punishment is teaching children to behave as they ought. Yet the use of punishment is (I will argue) counterproductive. Furthermore, the use of punishment has additional unintended consequences. I will attempt to demonstrate how children perceive punishments and what those unanticipated consequences are. These ill…

  • Beyond Empiricism: Institutions and Intentions in the Study of Crime

    Joan MccordBOOKBeyond Empiricism2017

    Beyond Empiricism expands the discourse on theories of criminal behavior. It considers institutional, social, and individual issues related to criminal behavior, while individually each raises questions about the adequacy of current theoretical claims. The topics have significant implications both for policy and research in criminology. Per-Olof Wikstrom introduces a cross-level action theory of crime. He suggests that better understanding of cau…

  • Facts, Frameworks, and Forecasts: Advances In Criminological Theory

    Joan Mccord, McCord JoanBOOKFacts, Frameworks, and Forecasts2017

    Facts, Frameworks, and Forecasts calls for rethinking the development of criminological theory. In her introduction, Joan McCord argues that the field is ready for new approaches and that its progress depends on a sound factual base. Examining the discipline's research design, methodology, and quantitative analysis efforts, the contributors identify significant advances in criminological theory. This empirical orientation results in a balanced bl…

  • Violent Crime: Assessing Race and Ethnic Differences

    Open AccessJames F Short, Harold M Rose et al.BOOKViolent Crime2003

    Analysts have long noted that some societies have much higher rates of criminal violence than others. They have also observed that the risk of being a victim or a perpetrator of violent crime varies considerably from one individual to another. In societies with ethnically and racially diverse populations, some ethnic and racial groups have been reported to have higher rates of violent offending and victimization than other groups. This exceptiona…

  • A longitudinal examination of the relation between co‐offending with violent accomplices and violent crime

    Open AccessKevin P Conway, Joan MccordARTICLEAggressive Behavior2002Cited by: 19References: 45

    Although the idea that youthful offenders are affected by the company they keep is widely accepted, evidence in support of this idea is based primarily on reports provided by offenders and their peers. As an alternative to relying on reports of criminal behavior, a method that may overestimate the role that peers play in criminal behavior, the current research on co‐offending uses court records to identify and track over time individuals who are …

    Thomas J Dishion, Joan Mccord et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist1999Cited by: 242References: 4

    This article explored developmental and intervention evidence relevant to iatrogenic effects in peer-group interventions. Longitudinal research revealed that deviancy training within adolescent friendships predicts increases in delinquency, substance use, violence, and adult maladjustment. Moreover, findings from 2 experimentally controlled intervention studies suggested that peer-group interventions increase adolescent problem behavior and negat…

    The ten chapters that make up this volume not only cover a broad range of key substantive issues in adolescent research (e.g., ego, development, identity formation, self-esteem, pubertal development, cognitive development, deviant behavior, religiosity, and academic achievement), but as a whole they illustrate some of the key theoretical and methodological trends occuring in parent-adolescent research

  • Family Relationships, Juvenile Delinquency, and Adult Criminality

    Open AccessJoan MccordARTICLECriminology1991Cited by: 31References: 44

    Home observations during childhood and criminal records 30 years later are used to address questions of relative impact among features of child rearing influencing male criminal outcomes. The results suggest two mechanisms: Maternal behavior appears to influence juvenile delinquency and, through those effects, adult criminality. Paternal interaction with the family, however, appears to have a more direct influence on the probability of adult crim…

    Open AccessJoan MccordARTICLECriminology1981Cited by: 3References: 4

    This article addresses the possibility of prospectively identfying chronic criminal offenders using identifiers available to the criminal justice system. Data were collected as part of a longitudinal study of the lives of men who were in a delinquency prevention program in the early 1940s. For the half who were randomly assigned to the treatment group, a discriminant function correctly identified 67% of the men as recidivists or nonrecidivists. W…
