Local deprivation and the labour market integration of new migrants to England
Using data on new migrants to England from the Quarterly Labour Force Survey, we show how a key component of migrant integration - labour market progress in terms of wages and unemployment rates - is broadly positive in the early years after arrival across a range of migrant groups and across gender. However the precise level of labour market success achieved varies considerably across groups reflecting both the initial entry level and labour mar…

The Determinants of Lateness
Using a sample of male and female workers from the 1992 Employment in Britain survey, we estimate a generalised grouped zero‐inflated Poisson regression model of employees' self‐reported lateness. Lateness is higher for males, private sector workers and in service industries. Reflecting theoretical predictions from both psychology and economics, we model lateness as a function of incentives, the monitoring of, and sanctions for, lateness within t…
What Does the World Spend on Policing
Social indicators vary in their breadth and coverage. One popular indicator of the priority that society gives to specific areas of life is a measure of monetary expenditure. Do we spend more or less on X or on Y? Is the balance correct? A necessary precursor to such comparisons is measurement. This paper presents a method for estimating annual global expenditure on policing. Data from the fifth sweep of the United Nations Survey of Crime Trends …
Lateralization of the ‘negative priming’ effect
An investigation is reported of a divided visual field version of a negative priming task of selective attention, performance on which has previously been shown to be related to schizotypal personality traits. In lateralized form the task produced a significant interaction between schizotypy and visual field, and an influence of gender. Among males high schizotypes showed an absence of negative priming after primes presented to the left visual fi…
