Emotions about crime and attitudes to punishment
Various polls and surveys seem to indicate that a substantial proportion of the Canadian public desires harsher penalties for crime. While various explanations have been offered for this punitiveness, emotional reactions to crime have been under-researched. The present research draws on a Canadian data set to test the hypothesis that the emotions of fear and particularly anger about crime are significant predictors of punitive attitudes once crim…

Street Youth and Criminal Violence
This research examines the roles of various subcultural, economic, and victimization factors in the violent behavior of 200 homeless male street youths. Findings reveal that factors associated with the street subculture, including long-term homelessness and criminal peers, increase the respondent's risk for violence on the street and provide rules concerning honor, protection, and retribution. However, the heavy use of drugs and alcohol on the st…
Labour‐Market Problems and Crime in the Transition from School to Work
Le passage du monde des études au monde du travail constitue une étape importante dans la vie des jeunes adultes. Les problèmes liés au marché du travail tels que le chômage et la précarité de l'emploi, qui surgissent au cours de cette phase transitoire, peuvent favoriser des comportements criminels, en particulier chez ceux et celles qui ont certaines attentes et convictions vis‐à‐vis du marche du travail. Les théories sur le contrôle social et …
Fractured Transitions from School to Work
This is the first Canadian study to investigate the cause and consequences of the drop-out problem from the perspectives of the participants themselves
Attributions, Affect, and Crime
This research examines the role familial, school, labor market, and street factors play in the criminality of 200 homeless male street youths. Of particular interest is the way these youths interpret their labor market experiences and how together these experiences and interpretations influence criminal behavior. Findings reveal that familial and school factors have minimal influence on current criminal behavior. Instead, criminal behavior is inf…

Changing Religious Attitudes and Participation among Catholics in the Post Vatican II Church
In recent years much has been written about changes in the beliefs, attitudes, and practices of American Catholics. Some researchers have concluded that there has been an evident decline, while others have argued that little of substance has changed. Less attention has been paid to similar issues among Canadian Catholics. This article discusses the findings of two surveys (1973 and 1982) of Catholics in a western Canadian diocese, using an approa…

Explanations of Unemployment in Canada
A random sample survey of residents of Edmonton, Canada reveals structural and individualistic explanations of unemployment to be equally prominent. Various indicators of social standing have little impact on these beliefs, and the unemployed differ from the employed only when the beliefs directly blame deficient work values of the unemployed. Since other studies elsewhere have found more pronounced differences by position in the stratification s…
Critique and Explanation
Modernization , Gender Role Convergence and Female Crime
The convergence hypothesis suggests that as gender roles become more similar, female crime should increase toward the level of male crime. Cross-nationally, modernization has been conceptualized as resulting in increased female crime, in part through its supposed effect on gender role convergence. Previous research has offered only weak support for this model but the present paper attempts a methodologically improved test. However, the results ag…

Income Inequality and Homicide Rates
Previous studies have identified but failed to explain satisfactorily the positive relationship between income inequality and homicide rates. This paper proposes an explanation based on the concept of relative deprivation, but also reviews the criminological literature in a search for other theoretically relevant variables. After assessing problems of sampling and measurement, and using a considerably larger sample than used in previous studies, …

Modernization, Female Social Roles, and Female Crime
This paper examines the relationship between modernization and female crime rates and tests a model which incorporates female participation in various social roles as an intervening variable. Modernization is predicted to have positive, direct effects on female property crime, as well as positive, indirect effects through female role participation. Data from approximately forty countries were analyzed using correlational and regression techniques…
Female Prisoners and the Inmate Code
Models of the prisonization process are presented and the literature concerned with subscription to the inmate code, particularly among female prisoners, is reviewed. Using data collected from female prisoners in two Canadian institutions, multiple regression and path analytic techniques are employed to test the deprivation and importation models. Neither model receives unqualified support, but the importation model fares slightly better. The imp…
Subculture of Violence
The subculture of violence hypothesis and its present empirical status are reviewed. A path model of the subcultural hypothesis is developed and tested with survey data collected from adolescents. The predictions of the subcultural model receive only partial support; only a moderate amount of variation in violent behavior is explained. There is some evidence of interaction between sex and the carrying of a weapon. The use of survey data to test t…
Changing Social Roles and Female Crime in Canada
Les données des séries chronologiques sur le taux de condamnation des femmes au Canada sont étudiées par l'analyse de régression multiple pour évaluer l'hypothèse selon laquelle le taux de criminalité des femmes varie inversement par rapport à l'activité des femmes dans le rôle familial et directement avec leur participation dans des rôles en dehors de la famille. En général, les résultats sont tels que prévus, en particulier le taux de condamnat…

The Impact of Machiavellianism and the Trustfulness of the Victim on Laboratory Theft
Eight-four male subjects, participating in a simulated work situation, had the opportunity to make money honestly or to steal from a second subject serving as a supervisor. In half the cases the supervisor doubted the subject's honesty and made frequent inspections of his work in the first half of the experiment. The remainder of the subjects were exposed to a trusting supervisor who regarded the subjects as honest and did not exercise opportunit…

Father Absence and Self Conception among Lower Class White and Negro Boys
The effects of fatherlessness and race on the self conceptions of lower-class adolescent males is explored using the orientation of symbolic interactionism and the semantic differential for measurement. A distinction is made between actual and normative self and the categories of white and black, father-absent and father-present boys are examined. All categories exhibited significant differences between actual and normative self, but the magnitud…

Measuring the Significance of Others
Data on self-concept and significant others using the semantic differential technique are examined for the presence of multicollinearity. It is concluded that the presence of a number of fairly high first-order correlations among the presumed independent variables invalidates the use of partial correlations as measures of the concept "significant others."
