Physical Dating Violence, Sexual Violence, and Unwanted Pursuit Victimization: A Comparison of Incidence Rates Among Sexual-Minority and Heterosexual College Students
The purpose of this study was to estimate the 6-month incidence rates of sexual assault, physical dating violence (DV), and unwanted pursuit (e.g., stalking) victimization among sexual-minority (i.e., individuals with any same-sex sexual experiences) college students with comparison data from non-sexual-minority (i.e., individuals with only heterosexual sexual experiences) college students. Participants ( N = 6,030) were primarily Caucasian (92.7…
Disclosure and Service Use on a College Campus After an Unwanted Sexual Experience
In order to continue to facilitate the disclosure of sexual assault to professional support services, the current study examined the extent to which survivors report using campus services and whether friends who had disclosed to participants used the services. We also compared knowledge of a campus sexual assault center and likelihood of using the center among college men and women. Surveys were completed by 1,230 students, including victims of u…
Unwanted Sexual Contact on Campus: A Comparison of Women’s and Men’s Experiences
While sexual victimization continues to be a problem on college campuses, recent attention has been drawn to understanding gender differences in victimization rates and consequences. To date, these studies remain relatively few in number. The current study surveyed 651 male and female undergraduate students about unwanted sexual experiences during 1 academic year. Comparison of men and women revealed expected differences in incidence rates, with …
Work and Welfare Strategies among Single Mothers in Rural New England: The Role of Social Networks and Social Support
This paper examines how community, social, and interpersonal networks are associated with reliance on work or welfare among rural single mothers. Based on telephone interviews with single mothers in rural northern New England, the data were used to measure the effects of demographic characteristics, community context, informal and formal social networks, and perceived social support on employment, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), a…
Revisiting Unwanted Sexual Experiences on Campus: A 12-Year Follow-Up
The current study examines patterns of stability and change in reports of unwanted sexual experiences in one campus community in two similar cohorts of undergraduates studied 12 years apart. A sample of 417 women completed a questionnaire in 2000, and this sample is compared to a sample of 524 women who completed the same questionnaire in 1988. Results indicate a reported decrease in unwanted sexual contact but indicate stability in reported rate…
On Shifting Ground: Changing Formulations of Place in Anthropology
This article explores the ways in which anthropologists have formulated ‘place’. In recent years, place and its companion concept ‘home’ have become themes conceived in terms of fluidity, unboundedness and multiplicity. These formulations are most apparent in that body of literature concerned with people who move between geographical and cultural worlds. The nature of recent conceptions I argue, is a necessary adaptation if anthropologists are to…
The Gendering of Adolescents' Childbearing and Educational Plans: Reciprocal Effects and the Influence of Social Context
Trends in the Location of Corporate Headquarters, 1969-1989
In this research note, the author examines the regional distribution and suburbanization of corporate headquarters in the United States in 1969, 1979, and 1989. The results confirm a continued concentration of headquarters in a small number of metropolitan areas and a continued concentration in the Northeast and Midwest, despite some growth in locations in the South and West. Significant variations are seen by type of corporation. The suburbaniza…
The Rationality of Sexual Offending: Testing a Deterrence/Rational Choice Conception of Sexual Assault
Using a combination of hypothetical scenarios and survey-type questions, this study investigates the effect of the context of the offense, formal sanctions, informal sanctions, and moral beliefs on self-reported projections to commit sexual assault. Male college students read and responded to five scenarios each describing a hypothetical sexual assault by a male. Respondents were asked to estimate the certainty of formal and informal punishment f…

A Spatial Autocorrelation Model of the Effects of Population Density on Fertility
The relationship between fertility and population density that has been demonstrated with aggregate data is discussed and reexamined here. We argue that models which exclude considerations of spatial processes are incomplete and that therefore parameter estimates for such models are misleading. We then develop a model which incorporates spatial autocorrelation and reanalyze data from one well-known study of the effects of density on fertility usi…
Spatial Autocorrelation Models for Galton's Problem
The effects of Galton's problem are discussed within a framework provided by the linear regression model. We examine five illustrative diffusion models and evaluate alternative estimation procedures (es pecially Naroll's linked pairs test and Wirsing's second order partial correlation). While no one procedure is adequate for all models, the specification of a diffusion model provides guidance in the selection of an appropriate estimation procedur…
Ratio Variables in Aggregate Data Analysis: Their Uses, Problems, and Alternatives
This article discusses three different uses of ratio variables in aggregate data analysis: (1) as measures of theoretical concepts, (2) as a means to control an extraneous factor, and (3) as a correction for heteroscedasticity. In the use of ratios as indices of concepts, a problem can arise if it is regressed on other indices or variables that contain a common component. For example, the relationship between two per capita measures may be confou…
