Demanding Reduction: A County-level Analysis Examining Structural Determinants of Human Trafficking Arrests in Florida
Academic literature has placed increased focus on understanding the complexities of human trafficking cases, but a gap in literature persists on assessing structural determinants that may impact the number of identified human trafficking arrests. As such, using administrative data on human trafficking arrests from 2013 to 2017, in the present study we examine the influence that macro-level social disorganization indicators, physical characteristi…
The devil's in the details: Measuring mass violence
Research Summary Mass violence refers to victimization, resulting in multiple deaths and/or injuries. Thus, the measurement of mass violence cannot rest on a single definition or dataset. The purpose of this paper is to decompose mass violence into its various sub‐types, discuss measurement issues related to the sub‐types, evaluate potential datasets for future studies, and offer practical policy implications. Policy Implication Imposing a standa…
Florida’s task force approach to combat human trafficking: An analysis of county-level data
Since emerging in the USA during the 1990s, the multi-agency task force has become the preferred organizational structure for enforcing human trafficking laws and providing assistance to victims. These task forces often work across county lines and typically include law enforcement agencies, as well as social service and non-governmental organizations. The effect of collaborations with other types of agencies on law enforcement’s human traffickin…

Your Shelter or Mine? Romantic Relationships Among the Homeless
The topic of sex and love is notable by its absence within the research literature on homelessness. If these topics are discussed, they are generally approached from a negative standpoint with a focus on topics such as HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual victimization, or sexual abuse. With growing bodies of literature on homelessness and the many benefits of committed relationships, it is surprising that there is a lack of studies on thes…

Rethinking lynching: Extralegal executions in postbellum Louisiana
Contemporary research on the lynching of African Americans in the postbellum South has emphasized its role in maintaining the racial supremacy of Whites over African Americans. We contend that, by itself, this racial domination model of lynching is inadequate to explain variation among lynchings or temporal changes in the characteristics of extralegal executions that occurred during the lynching era, circa 1880–1930. Analyzing a recently compiled…
The Currents of Lethal Violence: An Integrated Model of Suicide and Homicide
The Violent West Reexamined: A Research Note on Regional Homicide Rates
Studies by O'Carroll and Mercy and by Kowalski and Petee challenge the long‐held view that the South leads the nation in homicide rates. Specifically, O'Carroll and Mercy find that when killings by state are disaggregated by race, the West has the highest levels of homicide for whites, blacks, and other races. Kowalski and Petee conclude that homicide rates in the South and the West have converged. We extend their research by examining the effect…
Modernization, age structure, and regional context: A cross-national study of crime
Cross‐national research has yielded limited support for the Durkheimian‐modernization hypothesis that economic modernization increases the rate of crime. However, tests of the hypothesis have been flawed because (1) most research has assessed the criminogenic consequences of different levels of economic development rather than changes in development and (2) most studies have failed to control for the confounding effects of changes in the age stru…

The Tenant Labor Market and Lynching in the South: A Test of Split Labor Market Theory
Split labor market theory was originally advanced as a general approach explaining ethnic antagonism as the result of class-based interests. In this investigation, the threat to 'high-priced' (white) labor from 'cheap' (black) labor within the farm tenancy system of the postbellum South is examined as an underlying cause of the lynching of blacks by whites. Supporting this interpretation, the ratio of black to white tenants in southern counties, …

Black Concentration and Lynchings in the South: Testing Blalock's Power-Threat Hypothesis
A review of past tests of Blalock's (c) propositions predicting relationships between minority percentage and discrimination shows significant gaps. Few studies have attempted separate tests of the competition and power-threat hypotheses, and there is substantial, but generally overlooked, evidence that the effect of percent black on discrimination is limited to the South. Employing lynching rates of blacks in southern counties between 1889 and 1…
The occupational orientations of jazz musicians: Some recent findings and a reexamination of the evidence
In contrast to earlier studies which stressed the deviant status of jazz players and their hostility toward conventional society, research appearing in the 1960s reported these musicians accepting middle‐class values and aspirations and expressing concern about the public image of their profession. This paper reports the findings of ethnographic research on jazz practitioners undertaken in St. Louis and New Orleans during the 1970s. Two contrasti…

Can Labeling Theory Be Saved?*,1
Despite numerous criticisms during the last decade, labeling theory has maintained pre-eminence among theories of deviance. The critiques of the positivists, neo-Marxists, and phenomenologists are reviewed along with their respective prescriptions for the development of a more satisfactory theory of deviance. While the changes advocated by the first two groups are rejected on logical and empirical grounds, some of the suggestions of the phenomeno…

Techniques in Teaching Deviance
in the sociology of deviance. The first throws into sharp relief many of the assumptions of a liberal or humanistic ideology and encourages students to view the relativity of their own beliefs. The second exposes everyday strategies for deciding who belongs to deviant groups, who does not, and why. Both ethnomethods have been employed by the authors in a variety of classroom settings. The methods are reorientations of customary lecture material v…
