  • Modeling Educational Success of First Nations Students in Canada: Community Level Perspectives

    Nicholas D Spence, Nicholas Spence et al.ARTICLECanadian ethnic studies2007References: 8

    Au Canada, les évaluations portant sur l'éducation des Premières Nations et des autochtones manquent de véritable modélisation concernant les raisons sous-jacentes à des schémas particuliers d'acquisition. C'est ce manque que nous voudrions adresser. Dans cet article nous examinons l'acquisition en éducation dans les communautés des Premières Nations à partir de données provenant du recensement de 1996 ainsi que du sondage sur l'éducation tenu pa…

  • Residential Segregation and Socio-economic Integration of Visible minorities in Canada

    Open AccessT R Balakrishnan, Paul Maxim et al.ARTICLEMIGRATION LETTERS2006

    Using the 2001 Census of Canada, this paper examines whether spatial residential patterns relate to an ethnic group’s socioeconomic achievement within urban Canada. Most literature suggests that ethnic clustering is primarily a consequence of systematic discrimination or poor socioeconomic resources. Our basic question is whether the relationship between residential segregation and social integration is weakening, thus making the spatial assimila…

    Cet article pose trois questions: 1) Pourquoi étudier les inégalités entre les autochtones? 2) Quel est l'écart entre les salaires et les revenus de la population canadienne en général et ceux des différents peuples autochtones? et 3) Jusqu'à quel point existe‐t‐il des inégalités entre les peuples autochtones ainsi qu'entre la population autochtone et la population non autochtone? Cet article montre une tendance générale de l'augmentation des dis…

  • Drinking and Driving, Self-Control, and Gender: Testing a General Theory of Crime

    Open AccessCarl Keane, Paul Maxim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Crime and…1993

    Recently, Gottfredson and Hirschi proposed a general theory of crime. Central to the theory is the assumption that most criminal behavior is impulsive and reflects a lack of self-control. Thus criminals are seen as risk takers who are less restrained than noncriminals from illegal activities. In a secondary analysis of data from a roadside traffic survey, this study attempts to test Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory by examining the relationship b…

    Cette communication traite des rapports entre l'âge, le sexe et les quatre principales causes de décès violent, soit l'homicide, le suicide, les accidents de la route et les ‘autres’ accidents. D'aucuns ont soutenu que ces quatre causes de décès violents sont l'expression d'une prédilection pour les comportements excessivement risqués. Par ailleurs, les partisans de la théorie de la convergence postulent que les écarts entre hommes et femmes en c…

  • Immigrants, visible minorities, and self-employment

    Open AccessPaul Maxim, Paul S MaximARTICLEDemography1992Cited by: 12References: 17

    Historically, self-employment was perceived as a mechanism whereby immigrants could circumvent discriminatory practices in wage labor. More recent research by Borjas in the United States, however, suggests that this view is incorrect. Immigrants, particularly members of visible minorities, are disadvantaged in both the wage labor and the self-employed markets. This pattern has not been replicated in Canada, however; after controlling for several …

  • An Ecological Analysis of Crime in Early Victorian England

    Open AccessPaul Maxim, Paul S MaximARTICLEThe Howard Journal of Criminal…1989

    The two decades from 1830 to 1850 saw major growth in the collection and analysis of official crime statistics in England and Wales. Much of that data was collected in an attempt to understand the growing social problems engendered by a burgeoning industrial society. Unfortunately, many of the theoretical problems and policy issues the early Victorians attempted to address could not be answered due to the lack of appropriate statistical tools. Th…

    Selon Richard Easterlin, le taux de fertilite d'une cohorte est inversement proportionnel a sa taille relative. C'est principalement aux Etats‐Unis qu'on a trouve des donnees peut‐itre pas a ce pays. En general, il semble qu'au Canada les taux de fertilite relatifs de grosses cohortes sont plus Pleves que ceux de cohortes plus petites, et ceci malgre le fait que les taux de fertilite ont diminue pour toutes les cohortes au cours des dernieres ann…

  • Cohort Size and Juvenile Delinquency: A Test of the Easterlin Hypothesis

    Paul Maxim, Paul S MaximARTICLESocial Forces1985Cited by: 10

    A number of researchers have argued that crude rates of crime and delinquency are a function of a population's age pyramid. That is, given constant age-specific rates, the overall or crude rate will fluctuate in concert with the proportion of individuals in age groups with differing age-specific rates. Richard Easterlin, however, has suggested that it is unreasonable to expect age-specific rates to remain constant in the face of fluctuating popul…

    Paul Maxim, Paul S Maxim et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…1980Cited by: 1References: 11

    Canada, along with most other Western, industrialized countries, has experienced a dramatic increase in both the overall volume and the rate of official crime, as well as significant increases in the amount of female crime since the mid-1950's. Several authors have suggested that much of this increase in official crime is related to major demographic fluctuations, such as the post-war “baby-boom.” Specifically, in this paper it is maintained that…
