Recent Nonmetropolitan Population Change in Fifty-Year Perspective
Post-1970 nonmetropolitan population shifts are examined by dividing nonmetropolitan counties into ten cohorts based on the duration and direction of consistent population change since 1920. Analysis indicates that the post-1970 gains reported by Beale are pervasive in nonmetropolitan America, occurring even in a majority of the counties that lost population consistently from 1920 to 1970.Growth was greatest in counties adjacent to metropolitan a…

Hidden Deviance and the Labelling Approach
In this study we attempt to explain the over-representation of certain social categories—such as blacks or lower-class males—in official conviction statistics for drinking-driving. Two alternative perspectives are examined. The first, or “impartial” model, suggests that the probability of conviction is determined primarily by the degree and/or frequency of deviance. According to the second, or “labelling” model, this probability is at least partl…

Territorial Differentiation and Societal Change in the United States and Canada
A theory based on four stages of social and cultural changes for large territorial units is presented and three hypotheses are deduced linking territorial differentiation to societal change. The stages are measured by die degree to which the territorial units of a society display similar characteristics, and whether the units are diverging or converging from one another. Hypothesis I asserts that the form of societal change among territorial unit…
