Socioeconomic status, perceived need, and the mobilization of officials
Research on the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and the mobilization of officials has produced conflicting results. A number of conceptual and methodological problems may have contributed to such results. In this study, we examine the effects of SES on contacting officials in a way that avoids many of these problems. Focusing on the mobilization of officials in response to various neighborhood problems and restricting the analysis…
Choosing Crime
Mobilizing Law in Response to Collective Problems
Donald Black's theory of law states that the quantity of law can be explained in terms of stratification, morphology, culture, organization, and social control. Empirical tests of this theory have produced disparate findings. For the most part, previous tests have focused on criminal law and on the use of law to deal with personal problems. In the present study, survey data are used to test the effect of stratification, morphology, culture, organ…
Structural Position and Violence
Research assessing the capacity of a cultural explanation to account for the relationship between certain structural positions and high rates of criminal violence has ignored a significant intervening variable. That variable is disputatiousness—the likelihood of being offended by a negative outcome and seeking reparation through protest. This article develops a cultural model of disputatiousness and aggressiveness. It hypothesizes that individual…
Orientations and Membership
Unionization and professionalization can be seen as alternative modes of group occupational mobility (Haug and Sussman, 1971). Each mode implies a distinct ideology. But empirical evidence from a case study of an occupation attempting professionalization shows that ideology is not correlated with actual membership. It is suggested that in a newly formed professional association, network ties are more important than ideology in determining who joi…
Beyond Durkheim
Reconsiderant les arguments de Durkheim sur le lien entre religion et suicide, les AA. ne les trouvent ni consistants ni convaincants. Durkheim etait etonnamment mal informe et fallacieux a l'egard des traits les plus simples de la religion de l'Europe du XIX s. En se basant sur les donnees statistiques officielles des USA, ils testent ses principales affirmations. Ils constatent une forte influence religieuse mais pas de differences tenant aux d…
Religion and Delinquency
Confusion has developed in the literature over whether religious commitment decreases delinquent behavior. In this paper we show that conflicting findings stem from variations in the religious ecology of the communities studied. In communities where religious commitment is the norm, the more religious an individual, the less likely he or she will be delinquent. However, in highly secu larized communities, even the most devout teenagers are no les…
Cults of America
This paper examines the geographic distribution of American cults based on 501 independent groups listed in the Encyclopedia of American Religions, Vol. 2 (Melton, 1978). A third of the nation's cults are in California. However, when population is taken into account, Nevada and New Mexico exceed California in terms of cults per million residents. Regionally, the Pacific states have the highest cult rate (6.9 per million) and the Southern region h…
