The Historical Violence Database: A Collaborative Research Project on the History of Violent Crime, Violent Death, and Collective Violence
The Historical Violence Database (HVD) is a collaborative research project to gather data on the history of violent crime, violent death, and collective violence. The database will serve as a repository for historical research (research notes, handwritten worksheets, spreadsheets, scans and photographs of original documents, etc.) and will integrate that research into a single information system based on standard worksheets and spreadsheets. The …
Teaching Scholarship During The 1990s: A Study of Authorship in Teaching Sociology
While the scholarship of teaching has risen in prominence in the past few decades, little is presently known about the structure of knowledge creation and dissemination in that area of scholarship. Such basic facts as the characteristics of programs that perform and publish the research (e.g., B.A., M.A., or Ph.D.), or the identities of specific schools that are leaders in teaching scholarship remain undocumented. This article explores the topic …

Stalking the Elusive Homicide: A Capture-Recapture Approach to the Estimation of Post-Reconstruction South Carolina Killings
Anyone who hopes to trace quantitative historical changes in populations faces the problem of incomplete and biased records. This is at least as much a problem for statistics of crime as for other kinds of statistics, and it plagues historical homicide research. As with other historical trends, those of homicide are derived from actual counts from some set of sources, including coroners’ records, indictments, arrests, and newspaper accounts. But …
The Greening of Protestant Thought
The Greening of Protestant Thought traces the increasing influence of environmentalism on American Protestantism since the first Earth Day, which took place in 1970. Robert Booth Fowler explores the extent to which ecological concerns permeate Protestant thought and examines contemporary controversies within and between mainline and fundamentalist Protestantism over the Bible's teachings about the environment. Fowler explores the historical roots…

Estimates of Early Twentieth-Century U.S. Homicide Rates: An Econometric Forecasting Approach
Bureau of the Census death registration records, as reported in Mortality Statistics, are a primary source for early twentieth-century U.S. homicide statistics. Those data appear to show a massive rise in homicide during the first decade of the century, with a continuing increase through 1933. This increase is quite at variance with the trend away from violence in other industrialized societies. During the first one-third of the century, however,…
Abortion Politics in the United States and Canada: Studies in Public Opinion
Social influences on belief in creationism
This study uses correlation and regression analysis to examine two approaches to understanding belief in creationism and, by extension, an array of socially conservative attitudes: long‐term socialization and present community membership. Long‐term socialization gains clear support. There are independent effects of size of childhood hometown and having had a mother who played a traditional homemaker role (creationists tend to have come from small…

Bureaucratic Legitimation: Marihuana and the Drug Enforcement Administration
This paper considers how organizations use mixtures of “fact” and “value” statements in order to legitimate policy and policy changes. We argue that this does not require intellectual or moral candor or accuracy, but rather consistency. Utilizing the dramatic change in stance toward marihuana policy by agencies of the federal government between 1977 and 1980, we examine the ways in which members of one organization, the Drug Enforcement Administr…
