Measuring Delinquency
Victims of Personal Crime: An Empirical Foundation for a Theory of Personal Victimization
"Reply to "On the Use of Self-Report Data to Determine the Class Distribution of Criminal and Delinquent Behavior
Measuring delinquency
Variations in Sex-Race-Age-Specific Incidence Rates of Offending
Incidence rates--rates of offending in personal crimes (rape, robbery, assault, and personal larceny)--are studied using data from the National Crime Survey (NCS) for 1973-1977, conducted by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. The NCS data reveal that victims' reports of offenders' sex, race, and age are strongly related to incidence rates of offending. The highest incidence rate in personal crimes is for male, black, 18 to 20 year olds. Arrest data …
Sociological Aspects of Criminal Victimization
Trite But True
A Study of the Behavior of Law
In The Behavior of Law, Black (1976) sets forth a theory of law that he argues explains variations in law across societies and among individuals within societies. Black argues that law can be conceived of as a quantitative variable, measured by the number and scope of prohibitions, obligations and other standards to which people are subject. Law varies, according to Black, with other aspects of social life, including stratification, morphology, c…
Correlates of Delinquency: The Illusion of Discrepancy between Self-Report and Official Measures
This paper reviews the research literature concerning the extent to which studies of delinquency that use official records produce results compatible with studies of delinquency that use self-reports of adolescents. Particular attention is given to sex, race, and social class as correlates of delinquency. The notion that official and self-report methods produce discrepant results with respect to sex, race, and class is largely illusory. In reachi…

Sex Differences in Criminal Activity
National victimization survey data for the years 1972 to 1976 are examined in order to investigate the extent to which they are in accord with Uniform Crime Report arrest data regarding the offender's sex. The results for common-law crimes–both the personal crimes of rape, robbery, assault, and personal larceny, as well as the household crimes of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft–parallel arrest data in showing that male involvement in t…
Criminal Victimization in Eight American Cities: A Descriptive Analysis of Common Theft and Assault
Reply to Ronald L. Simons
Race and Involvement in Common Law Personal Crimes
Most contemporary sociological theories of crime predict that blacks will be overrepresented among arrestees in common law personal crimes. These theories differ, however, in the extent to which this overrepresentation is attributed to disproportionate involvement in criminal offenses vs. criminal justice system selection biases. Studies that have relied upon official data have generally supported the differential involvement hypothesis, whereas …
Intelligence and Delinquency: A Revisionist Review
Recent research on intelligence and delinquency suggests that (1) the relation is at least as strong as the relation of either class or race to official delinquency; (2) the relation is stronger than the relation of either class or race to self-reported delinquency. In an analysis of the history of the research on the IQ-delinquency relation, we trace the developments leading to the current textbook position that IQ is not an important factor in …

Decisions of Shoplifting Victims to Invoke the Criminal Justice Process
Relatively little research has addressed issues related to factors affecting the decisions of victims of crimes to report offenses to the police. Since these decisions have important consequences for offenders, and since official police and court statistics are often relied upon to make inferences about characteristics of offenders and offenses, it is crucial to examine the effects of selective mechanisms such as victim behavior. To this end reco…

Causes of Delinquency: A Partial Replication and Extension
Focusing primarily on urban males, Hirschi (1969) presents research findings which are generally consistent with the propositions of his control theory. In an effort to examine the extent to which Hirschi's basic research results can be replicated, groups of rural male and female students in grades six through 12 of one school were asked to respond to a self-report delinquency questionnaire and a series of items which Hirschi used to test proposi…

Age, Sex, and the Versatility of Delinquent Involvements
An analysis of the self-reported delinquent involvements of 763 male and female adolescents revealed that although the males generally had engaged in the 24 activities with a greater frequency than the females, the patterns of involvement were quite similar for both sexes. An intercorrelational analysis of the activities indicated that participation in the activities was more a generalized than a specialized phenomenon; the behaviors showed a ten…

The Commitment of Delinquents to Their Misdeeds: Do Delinquents Drift
In the field of delinquency many sociologisits have subscribed to the subcultural notion that delinquents share values that are in opposition to the dominant culture; Matza (1964) has alternatively suggested that delinquents and non-delinquents share similar moral prohibitions, but that episodic release from moral constraint (“drift”) allows the delinquents to engage in delinquent behavior. Sixty-nine Ss were asked to report on their involvment i…
