Defended neighborhoods, vulnerable routines
We describe hypotheses about how features of urban settings—including location types, sociodemographic composition, and the extent of collective efficacy (CE)—are differentially related to Black and White individuals’ risks of experiencing discrimination while conducting routine activities. These hypotheses are then tested with data from a large, representative sample of caregivers in the Adolescent Health and Development in Context study (2014–2…
The code of cohesion
Paradoxical to numerous theories and policies, adolescents attending schools high in student cohesion do not reliably exhibit less involvement in offending. Coleman’s arguments about status and norms and the broader literature on adolescent networks suggest that this paradox is partially attributable to high-status males having more leeway to offend when attending schools high in student cohesion, which over time reinforces their engagement in of…
Mobility Network-based Measurement of Local Collective Efficacy and its Consequences for the Spatial Patterning of Violent Crime
Geographic isolation, compelled mobility, and adolescent risk behavior
We explore alternative hypotheses regarding the association between activity space racial composition, and risk behavior among Black-identifying urban youth. Racial isolation perspectives argue that exposure to Black-segregated neighborhoods limits access to mainstream institutions and influence, increasing participation in risk behavior (violence, delinquency, and substance/alcohol use). An alternative compelled mobility perspective argues that …
A Paradox of School Social Organization
Schools are often encouraged to foster a positive climate to reduce adolescent violence, but evidence on the effectiveness of this approach varies significantly. This study investigates the roots of this variation by testing alternative hypotheses about how positive school-level climate and school-level student friendship network density interact to shape adolescent violence perpetration. Research on informal social control and network closure su…
Leveraging Experience Sampling/Ecological Momentary Assessment for Sociological Investigations of Everyday Life
Experience sampling (ES)-also referred to as ecological momentary assessment (EMA)-is a data collection method that involves asking study participants to report on their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, activities, and environments in (or near) real time. ES/EMA is typically administered using an intensive longitudinal design (repeated assessments within and across days). Although use of ES/EMA is widespread in psychology and health sciences, uptak…
Paws on the Street
The formative work of Jane Jacobs underscores the combination of “eyes on the street” and trust between residents in deterring crime. Nevertheless, little research has assessed the effects of residential street monitoring on crime due partly to a lack of data measuring this process. We argue that neighborhood-level rates of households with dogs captures part of the residential street monitoring process core to Jacobs’ hypotheses and test whether …
The Sociology of Bullying
Consistency of Health Insurance Coverage and Women’s Reproductive Healthcare Access During Early Adulthood
Racial Inequalities in Adolescents' Exposure to Racial and Socioeconomic Segregation, Collective Efficacy, and Violence
In the United States, Black youth tend to grow up in remarkably less resourced neighborhoods than White youth. This study investigates whether and to what extent Black youth are moreover exposed to less resourced activity spaces beyond the home. We draw on GPS data from a large sample of urban youth in the Columbus, Ohio–based Adolescent Health and Development in Context study (2014–2016) to examine to what extent Black youth experience nontrivia…
Neighborhoods, Schools, and Adolescent Violence
Geographic Isolation, Compelled Mobility, and Everyday Exposure to Neighborhood Racial Composition among Urban Youth
Foundational urban social theories view heterogeneity of exposure to spatial contexts as essential aspects of the urban experience. In contrast, contemporary neighborhood research emphasizes the isolation of city dwellers—particularly racially segregated youth. Using geospatial data on a sample of youth from the 2014–16 Adolescent Health and Development in Context study, this article explores variation in the residential racial composition of eve…
Human Mobility and Crime
This review outlines approaches to explanations of crime that incorporate the concept of human mobility—or the patterns of movement throughout space of individuals or populations in the context of everyday routines—with a focus on novel strategies for the collection of geographically referenced data on mobility patterns. We identify three approaches to understanding mobility–crime linkages: ( a) Place and neighborhood approaches characterize loca…
Activity locations, residential segregation and the significance of residential neighbourhood boundary perceptions
The inadequacies of residential census geography in capturing urban residents’ routine exposures have motivated efforts to more directly measure residents’ activity spaces. In turn, insights regarding urban activity patterns have been used to motivate alternative residential neighbourhood measurement strategies incorporating dimensions of activity space in the form of egocentric neighbourhoods – measurement approaches that place individuals at th…

Mobility Network-based Measurement of Local Collective Efficacy and its Consequences for the Spatial Patterning of Violent Crime
