Assailants or Saints
A large literature indicates that Black males are overrepresented as criminals in traditional newspapers and broadcast news. However, little scholarly attention has been paid to online-only city newspapers. The authors conducted a content analysis of a social media based city news website in a Southeastern state. Multiple coders assessed 8,142 stories that ran over the course of three years and found that, in line with previous research, Black ma…
Grounding International Service-Learning in Sociology
The authors lead U.S. students on a study abroad trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. We designed a sociology service-learning course titled Urban Social Problems in the U.S. and Russia. Our primary substantive topic was homelessness, and social issues related to homelessness. We utilized ethnographic studies of homelessness, statistical data, sociological theories and concepts, class discussions, videos clips, guest speakers, personal journal reflect…
Substance Use in a Rural High School
Adolescent substance use in U.S. rural communities is now equal to or greater than urban use for many substances (Shears, Edwards, & Stanley, 2006). Despite this fact, a great deal of research and preventative strategies focuses on urban and suburban populations. To provide a better understanding of alcohol and drug use among adolescents in rural contexts, we conducted an analysis of 636 Georgia students at a rural high school. We also analyzed d…
Incorporating Sociology into Community Service Classes
Sociologists and instructors who teach about community service share an affinity for understanding and addressing social problems. While many studies have demonstrated the benefits of incorporating community service into sociology courses, we examine the benefits of incorporating sociological content into community service classes. The authors supplemented a community service course at a large public university with sociological theories, concept…
Cul-de-sac kids
Previous research indicates that adults who live on cul-de-sac streets are more likely to have positive experiences with neighbors than residents of other street types (Brown and Werner, 1985; Hochschild Jr, 2011; Mayo Jr, 1979; Willmott, 1963). The present research ascertains whether street design has an impact on children's neighborhood experiences. The author interviewed 73 adults who live on cul-de-sacs and 37 adults who live on through-stree…
About Face
This research assesses the extent to which facial appearance is related to occupational status attainment. Through the use of Internet technology, a diverse random sample of research participants viewed Navy boot camp photographs and rated sailors across nine dimensions. Sailors who were rated highly attractive were also thought to be intelligent and to possess leadership qualities. And, consistent with social expectancy theory and status general…
Our Club
This research examines the process by which vying social groups negotiate collective belongingness within contested space. At an American Legion veterans' post, two factions-the Skeet Club and the New Regime-developed strong emotional attachments to the location. The Skeet Club consisted of ineligible townspeople who had illegally gained access to the post through the help of several legitimate members. For Skeet Club members, the post was a belo…
