Climate Change and Civil Unrest: The Impact of Rapid-onset Disasters
This article examines the destabilizing impact of rapid-onset, climate-related disasters. It uses a sample of storms and floods in conjunction with two intensity measures of civil unrest to examine two perspectives on human reactions to disasters (conflictual, cooperative). It also uses insights from the contentious politics literature to understand how emotions posited by the conflictual perspective are transformed into destabilizing acts. While…
A Progressive Supervised-learning Approach to Generating Rich Civil Strife Data
Big data” in the form of unstructured text pose challenges and opportunities to social scientists committed to advancing research frontiers. Because machine-based and human-centric approaches to content analysis have different strengths for extracting information from unstructured text, the authors argue for a collaborative, hybrid approach that combines their comparative advantages. The notion of a progressive supervised-learning approach that c…
Conceptualizing and Measuring Rule of Law Constructs, 1850–2010
This article outlines an effort to gauge cross-national and intertemporal differences in law-based orders for 165 nations from 1850 to 2010. Despite the increasing importance attributed to “the rule of law,” there have been few efforts to develop objective measures of it. The conceptual foundations for this effort rest on a review of centuries of scholarship concerning the societal utility of law. Data are drawn from a variety of sources to creat…

Handicapping the 2004 Presidential Election: A Normal Vote Approach
Conventional wisdom about the 2004 presidential election holds that it will be an exceptionally tight race. This wisdom is grounded in the results of the 2000 presidential election, current polls, and a general sense that electoral competition at the presidential level has tightened over the past decade. While there is ample justification for these beliefs, an examination of long-term voting trends (i.e., normal voting patterns) paints a differen…
Candidate Appearances in Presidential Elections, 1972-2000
Although many recent studies have examined presidential campaigns, most have concentrated on television advertising or news media coverage as the key variables of interest. Few empirical analyses have focused on the pattern of candidate appearances, and almost none have considered changes in these patterns over time. This gap is intriguing because some places should tend to receive more attention than others, and yet we know very little about the…
Voter Turnout in U.S. Presidential Elections: An Historical View and Some Speculation
An examination of presidential voting patterns between 1828 and 1992 for all counties and most large cities in the continental U.S. (approximately 135,000 cases altogether) confirms that there has been a decline in turnout rates since 1960, as most commentators have suggested. For the nation as a whole, turnout in presidential elections dropped 20% from 64% in 1960 to 51% in 1988. Turnout rebounded slightly in 1992 to 55%, due perhaps in large pa…
The Concept of a Critical Realignment, Electoral Behavior, and Political Change
The realignment perspective has exerted an enormous amount of influence on thinking about American politics, but recently it has fallen into disfavor. As a theory of political change, this dissatisfaction is warranted. However, in rejecting the realignment perspective, scholars risk losing a valuable concept, the notion of a critical realignment. My thesis is that, properly defined, the concept of a critical realignment can be a powerful tool in …

The Craft of Justice: Politics and Work in Criminal Court Communities
The final volume of a trilogy (begun with The Contours of Justice and The Tenor of Justice ) based on a large-scale, complex study of nine criminal courts. Explains how criminal court policies reflect tensions or harmony among judges on the bench, and identifies and illustrates patterns of dominance and conflict within courthouse communities.
The Timing of Justice in Felony Trial Courts
Criminal court delay raises serious political and policy concerns. Analysis of the problem, however, is hobbled by the absence of theory and a lack of comparative, multivariate research that includes both micro‐level and contextual factors. This article draws on data from nine circuit‐level courts to develop an empirical model combining these factors. The results raise new questions about future research designs in this area and about the need to…

Unraveling the Complexities of Decision Making in Face-to-Face Groups: A Contextual Analysis of Plea-Bargained Sentences
This article uses a variety of multilevel data collected from a nine-county study of felony courts to examine the joint effects of contextual and individual level (sociopolitical characteristics of decision workers) upon decisions made in face-to-face groups. The research finds that although the sociopolitical characteristics of decision makers (attitudes toward punishment, Machiavellianism, and operating styles) made a difference in the outcome …
The Delivery of Police Services: An Experiment in Team Policing
This article considers team policing as a method of deploying police manpower and examines the impact of an experiment in one neighborhood in a medium‐sized American city. The first section reviews team policing in light of earlier police reforms and sets forth the basic tenets and expectations of team policing as a deployment strategy. Next the design of the quasi‐experiment is discussed. The program is evaluated in terms of its impact upon a nu…
