Violence, Gun Violence, and Mental Illness in a National Sample of Incarcerated Adults
The validity of a link between gun violence and mental illness has been the subject of ongoing research and policy debates. This study compares the burden of mental illness among adults incarcerated for violent versus property offenses as well as for firearm versus non-firearm violence, including lethal and non-lethal acts. The study utilizes the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI) data. Results show that respondents convicted of violent crimes a…
The Research Utility of the National Violent Death Reporting System for Understanding Homicide Trends
Homicide trend research has relied heavily on the same two data systems for decades. The current article highlights the research utility of a newer database—the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)—for examining the contours of homicide change. First, we describe the history, design, and availability of the NVDRS, and review past homicide and longitudinal studies using these data. Second, we discuss two features of the data system that…
Recreating Human Mobility Patterns Through the Lens of Social Media: Using Twitter to Model the Social Ecology of Crime
Studies of neighborhood crime are often limited in their ability to account for the dynamic nature of human mobility, a central tenet of prominent theoretical perspectives on the spatial distribution of crime. Yet, recent work indicates the utility of social media data for estimating the size and composition of such ambient population. In the present study, we assess whether four Twitter-derived measures are associated with crime counts across 2,…
Urban greenspace and neighborhood crime
Urban greenspace (UGS) has been recently linked to public safety. Criminologists, however, have been largely absent from the discussion about this association, despite having important theoretical tools and empirical findings to contribute. In the current study, we review the prominent criminological perspectives that may be used to explain the association between UGS and crime. Furthermore, we draw from prior work to extend beyond the question o…
Examining the relationship between tree canopy coverage and crime: An examination of within-neighborhood change
A bourgeoning area of research suggests that tree canopy coverage can reduce crime in neighborhoods. However, nearly all prior studies have analyzed the effects of tree canopy coverage on crime across neighborhoods at a single timepoint. Thus, it is necessary to examine change within neighborhoods of the relationship between tree canopy coverage and aggregate crime outcomes. For the present study, we conduct a longitudinal block group analysis of…
When men fight with women (versus other men): Limited offending during disputes
What transpires in a dispute, even a violent dispute, is affected by the tendency for adversaries to engage in “limited offending.” We focus on one restraint: the tendency of men to limit their aggression in their disputes with women. Analyses are based on an incident‐level survey about interpersonal disputes administered to 503 men who are incarcerated and 220 men who had never been incarcerated. Using multinomial and logistic regression models,…
Incarceration exposure and epigenetic aging in neighborhood context
Push and pushback: Control behavior as a precipitant of verbal and violent disputes
We examine to what extent control behavior precipitates disputes involving adversaries in different social relationships. We hypothesize that disputes between intimate partners and illegal business partners are more likely than other disputes to involve control because they involve a higher level of interdependence between the participants. A sample of male inmates ( n = 479) and nonoffenders ( n = 206) were asked whether control behaviors (e.g.,…
Predicting the probability of violence in actor–target relational dyads: Self-control and interpersonal provocations as mutual properties
If disputes are ever-present in human interaction, all relational dyads contain potential offenders and targets. We theorize that each dyad partner’s self-control independently influences the likelihood of violence and that low self-control will express itself in provocative behaviour. Using two waves from the Interpersonal and Conflict Resolution survey, with measures collected from each member of 443 couples, we create dyads and analyse the ind…
Losing Years Doing Time: Incarceration Exposure and Accelerated Biological Aging among African American Adults
Research suggests that incarceration exposure increases the prevalence of morbidity and premature mortality. This work is only beginning to examine whether the stressors of the incarceration experience become biologically embedded in ways that affect physiological deterioration. Using data from a longitudinal sample of 410 African American adults in the Family and Community Health Study and an epigenetic index of aging, this study tests the exten…
The interpersonal context of depression and violent behavior: A social psychological interpretation
Depression is a particularly prevalent form of psychopathology affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It is associated with a variety of adverse social and behavioral outcomes. Numerous observational studies have found that depressed individuals have significantly elevated rates of interpersonal violence. As of now, the social mechanisms that explain the association between depression and violence remain understudied and not well understood…
Taking sides: Gender and third‐party partisanship in disputes
We examine the role of a norm protecting women in understanding third‐party partisanship in verbal and violent disputes. Our analyses are based on reports provided by male inmates and men they know who have never been arrested. The results show that third parties are more likely to support female adversaries than male adversaries. The gender effect is stronger when we control for the relational distance between adversaries, which indicates that a…
Lessons of an Honour Code: A Consideration of Conflict-related Processes and Interpersonal Violence
Criminological research has long suggested that attitudes concerned with honour and aggression, such as the ‘street code’, are related to violent offending and victimization. Comparatively, little information is known, however, about the mechanisms through which these attitudes increase violence. Drawing from interactionist perspectives of aggression and subcultural theories, we examine the mediating role of two conflict-related tendencies: dispu…
The Mobilization of Criminal Law
Perhaps few decisions have more of an impact on the operational functioning of the criminal justice system than the decision by victims of crime to notify the police. Researchers in the United States and abroad have found that victims often choose not to mobilize the criminal law in the aftermath of a victimization event. A large percentage of property and violent crimes never appear in official crime data estimates. Most remain hidden in the dar…
Research on social disorganization theory and crime in rural communities
Social disorganization is one logical place to begin this exploration given its dominance in structural criminology. Research on social disorganization and crime in rural areas faces important measurement and methodological challenges. Some scholars suggest social disorganization theory may explain the differences in urban and rural crime rates because the latter are routinely characterized as having greater levels of cohesion, shared values and …
