  • Tectonic, hydrogeologic, and climatic controls on Late Holocene dune formation, China Lake basin, Indian Wells Valley, California, USA

    Open AccessNicholas Lancaster, Steven N Bacon et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2022

    Analysis of patterns of faulting and hydrogeology, stratigraphic and sedimentologic studies, and luminescence dating of aeolian deposits in China Lake basin provide new perspectives on the origins and development of Late Holocene dunes and sand ramps in the seismically active Indian Wells Valley of eastern California. Aeolian dune and sand sheet deposits were sourced from alluvial material derived from granitic rocks of the south-eastern Sierra N…

    Open AccessDavid Shichor, Robert M O’brien et al.ARTICLECriminology1983Cited by: 2References: 4

    Journals in criminology and criminal justice have been ranked using subjective techniques to assess journal presitige as well as objective measures intended to assess journal eminence. Two recent studies have resulted in somewhat similar rankings of professional journals although each used distinct methods of data analysis and asked different research questions. This finding suggests that there is a consensus among professionals in the field conc…

  • An Empirical Comparison of the Validity of UCR and NCS Crime Rates

    Open AccessRobert M O''Brien, Robert M O’brien et al.ARTICLESociological Quarterly1980Cited by: 8References: 14

    A large volume of criminological research uses either the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) or the National Crime Surveys (NCS) as a source for data on crime rates. The validity of both these measures, however, has been criticized. In this paper we assess the validity of these two indicators of the crime rate for six different types of crimes by examining their “convergent” and “nomological” validity. We find a moderate to high degree of convergent val…

  • Population Density and Criminal Victimization Some Unexpected Findings in Central Cities

    Open AccessDavid Shichor, David L Decker et al.ARTICLECriminology1979Cited by: 17References: 13

    Criminal behavior and criminal victimization have been associated with population density in the criminological literature. and this has led re‐ searchers to argue that there is a positive zero‐order relationship between population density and crime rates. However, using National Crime Survey victimization data we found that there is no simple relationship between population density and crime rates in 26 large American cities. Property crimes nit…
