Social Learning Theory and the Explanation of Crime
Social Organization
This classic text has set a standard for American sociol-ogy. Cooley provides analysis without empiricism, applying psychological insight to his study of the individual and collective self. First published in 1909, this work attempts to motivate man and society to be more responsible to each other.""The style of his book is clear and attractive, the text abounding in happy quotation.""--Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Scien…

Institutional anomie and societal variations in crime
Messner and Rosenfeld have proposed an institutional anomie theory of crime, incorporating the proposition that societal investments in programs to buffer citizens from capricious market forces (decommodification) are inversely related to rates of lethal violence among societies. They support this argument through an analysis of variations in homicide rates among nations. However, the research relevant to their theory is quite limited with numero…
Typologizing violence
Although typologies of violence have become more common, relatively little attention has been given to Donald Black's (1983) distinction between moralistic and predatory violence. Moralistic violence is rooted in conflict; predatory violence is rooted in exploitation. We elaborate Black's typology and show how it is similar to, but distinct from, other typologies of violence. We also address the criteria by which typologies of any kind might be j…
Women in the Law
Research on the entry of women into occupational settings confirms the importance of the structural composition of the workplace insofar as women are treated as tokens. This study examines women lawyers in terms of three consequences of tokenism: visibility, polarization, and stereotyping. The results from a survey of lawyers in southern Arizona (N = 112) indicate support for the theory of tokenism. Women are more likely than men to report hearin…

Sex Differences in Delinquency
This paper explores a much neglected issue in delinquency research—the relationship between sexual status and self‐reported delinquent action. Utilizing questionnaire data from a large sample of black and white adolescents, females were found to report less delinquent activity than males. However, sexual status explained very little variance in delinquent action and when controls for “intervening” sociological variables were implemented the impac…
