Childhood Trauma, Criminogenic Social Schemas, and Violent Crime
Utilizing a sample of 400 homeless street youth, the study draws on the social schematic theory of crime to examine if childhood trauma (physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse) is linked to the development of a criminogenic knowledge structure (CKS) that mediates its relationship with violence. Results indicate childhood trauma is directly associated with the CKS. They also show that it is indirectly related through…
Racial Differences in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Vulnerability Following Hurricane Katrina Among a Sample of Adult Cigarette Smokers from New Orleans
Race differences in depression vulnerability following Hurricane Katrina
The racial disparity in postdisaster depression seems to be confounded by sociodemographic characteristics, preexisting vulnerabilities, social support, and trauma-specific factors. Nonetheless, even after adjusting for these factors, there was a nonsignificant trend effect for race, which could suggest race played an important role in depression outcomes following Hurricane Katrina. Future studies should examine these associations prospectively,…
The Role of Cultural Values in Plagiarism in Higher Education
Using Writing Assignment Designs to Mitigate Plagiarism
Growth in large courses, particularly in public higher education institutions, poses a number of critical challenges within the context of dramatic increases in Internet use in the larger society. Now students find it easy to copy others’ work without citation, extension, or application of critical thinking skills. If not appropriately addressed, such plagiarism threatens the very authenticity of the educational experience, with such concerns as …
Demographic and childhood environmental predictors of resilience in a community sample
Self-control, risky lifestyles, and situation: The role of opportunity and context in the general theory
Approval of Violence by Males in Western Canada
Violent and defensive attitudes were surveyed in a sample of 1,010 males in western Canada
The childhood trauma questionnaire in a community sample: Psychometric properties and normative data
Interpretation of research on the prevalence and sequelae of childhood trauma has been hindered by the use of assessment instruments with unknown psychometric properties. Thus, we examined the psychometric properties of a new childhood trauma measure, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). The CTQ has demonstrated strong psychometric properties in clinical samples; limited information exists on its psychometric properties in community samples.…
When Push Comes to Shove: A Routine Conflict Approach to Violence
Broken windows, crumpled fenders, and crime
Rates of Traffic Fatalities and Homicides
Using data for 50 states (1980–1996), regression analyses with control for population size showed homicide rates predicted traffic fatality rates and traffic fatalities predicted homicide rates. Population size was inversely correlated with traffic fatality rates and directly with homicide rates, supporting prior work of Lester and of Spivak and suggesting further work on incivilities is desirable
Risky lifestyles, routine activities, and the General Theory of Crime
Gottfredson and Hirschi's A General Theory of Crime proposes that low self-control is a cause of criminal behavior. Several recent studies, showing mixed support, test this theory for understanding crime and imprudent behavior. In this paper we reassess the general theory of crime and highlight the importance of proximate causes, including routine conflict, in explaining the propensity toward violence. Drawing from the insights provided by routin…

Sourcebooks and Research Issues: Keeping Students Critical and Aware
This article describes how to use a review of the literature on crime and criminality to teach about research problems in an undergraduate sociology course. Students examined a subset of the original articles summarized in a review to evaluate the authors' research. A focus on the ways in which to study crime showed how measurement issues influenced the conclusions drawn about criminal behavior. We encouraged students to identify and interpret th…
Routine Activities and Crime: An Analysis of Victimization in Canada
Miethe et al. (1987) have suggested that there are strong interaction effects between demographic characteristics of victims and certain routine activities that occur at night and away from home, but only for victims of property crime. This same pattern does not appear for victims of violent crime, they maintain, because unlike property crime, violent crime often involves interpersonal conflict and disagreement and is therefore spontaneous. Using…
Overall Model Fit in Logistic Regression
The social sciences have seen a marked increase in the use of logistic regression for the analysis of dichotomous dependent variables. Walsh (1987) provides a very good non-technical introduction to the use and interpretation of logit models, but he has incorrectly reported on the method for calculating a pseudo R-squared which is an important statistic for evaluating an overall model fit. An example is provided below, using SPSSx logistic regres…

En 1978, la ville de Winnipeg a développé une typologie du changement urbain au niveau du quarter en se fondant sur un modèle du processus de développement urbain qui distingue trois stades: croissance, stabilité et déclin. Depuis lors, une ré‐aggrégation au niveau du quarter des données du recensement est devenue disponible.
