African Americans' Attitudes Toward the Local Police
sociological literature has focused considerable attention on how well people like their local police. As part of their focus, scholars have studied topics such as police-community relations (Gabor & Low, 1973; Johnson & Gregory, 1971; Trojanowicz, 1972; Trojanowicz & Moore, 1988; Wilson & Kelling, 1985), citizens' perceptions of the police (Albrecht & Green, 1977; Harris, 1981; McDowell, 1984; Peek, Lowe, & Alston, 1981; The Plague, 1981), and p…
Life satisfaction, self-esteem, and personal happiness among Mexican and African Americans
This study, using data from the Mexican Origin People in the United States: The 7 979 Chicano Survey and the National Survey of Black Americans, examines variation in religious participation and subjective quality of life across age and racial/ethnic groups. Results from multiple regression analyses demonstrate that Mexican and African Americans differ with respect to self‐esteem, happiness, and life satisfaction, even after controls for sociodem…
Criminal Victimization Among Black Americans
For decades, criminal victimization has been an important subject of investigation for social and behavioral scientists. This importance is the result, in part, of the uneven distribution of actual victimization (Karmen, 1984, p. 50). Studies of criminal victimization show that males were victimized more than women, except for cases of rape and purse snatching; young persons, especially teenagers and adults in their early twenties, were the targe…
Fear of crime
This study examines the relationship between fear of crime and victimization, gender, age, and selected social factors. Data for the study were obtained from a random sample (n = 1,835) of respondents 15 years of age and over. Separate multiple regression techniques were utilized to assess the effects of predictor variables on fear of crime. The findings revealed that victimization was the most powerful predictor of fear of crime for the total sa…
Self-Evaluation of Black and White College Students
A major issue in the social psychology of race relations has been the axiom that blacks tend to manifest lower self-esteem than whites. Much of the empirical support for this hypothesis came from studies demonstrating that blacks are stigmatized and subjected to a variety of unpleasant and derogatory experiences. However, these studies are limited in two respects: first, by their use of small, nonrepresentative samples (primarily nursery school a…
