Cooperative Accounts: Avoiding Conflict and Repairing Social Relations
The analytical concept of accounts has long presented sociologists with an excellent tool for the study of talk. Nonetheless, studies of accounts often neglect the fact that cooperation is common when an account for untoward behavior is constructed. Many studies tend to flatten the process of how accounts are created by routinely describing them as being 'offered' by offenders and then 'evaluated' by reproachers. We assume that accounts are often…
The Effects of Local Immigration Enforcement on Crime and Disorder: A Case Study of Prince William County, Virginia
Overview of: “The Effects of Local Immigration Enforcement on Crime and Disorder: A Case Study of Prince William County, Virginia”
Research Summary This study evaluates a local immigration enforcement policy implemented in Prince William County, Virginia, in 2008. In addition to joining the federal 287(g) program, the County adopted a policy that initially required officers to check the immigration status of people they detained, but the policy was later amended to require immigration checks only for arrestees. Using a pre–post, quasi‐experimental design, we examined the pol…
Police Use of Discretion: A Participant Observation Study of Game Wardens
This study extends inquiry on police discretion by examining the situational and organizational factors influencing game wardens' arrest/summons decisions. Data were collected by participant observation and interviews. Situational and organizational factors seldom, if at all, evident from previous studies were discovered to influence wardens discretion, example, officers' demeanor, professional courtesy, judges, plea bargains, regional directives…
Bringing White-Collar Crime Back In: An Examination of Crimes and Torts
Criminologists have paid little attention to the study of civil law, a subject closely related to the conceptualization of white-collar crime. Because white-collar violations are generally treated as civil wrongs it has been erroneously assumed that they are not criminal acts. But often there is no difference between criminal and civil law in the way liability is determined, the moral judgments made of violations, the purposes of sanctions, the o…

The New Myth of Class and Crime
On the basis of a reanalysis of the empirical evidence. Tittle et al. (1978) concluded that the presumed inverse relationship between class and crime is a myth. We discuss six problems in their evaluation: paucity of evidence; lack of specification of theoretical relationships; faulty specification and measures of class; inadequate operational definitions of “crime”; faulty analysis of evidence; and failure to examine all evidence. We conclude th…
Juvenile Court Dispositions: A Comparison of Status and Nonstatus Offenders
The research question precipitated by the concern for “just sanctions” and effective treatment for future juvenile programs is: What have been the criterion used by juvenile court decision makers in disposition sentencing. Disposition is analyzed for both nonstatus and status offense groups. The method of analysis is a stepwise discriminant function. The findings indicate the importance of legalistic variables and a social class bias in the dispo…
A Neo-Marxian Critique, Formulation and Test of Juvenile Dispositions as a Function of Social Class
First, this research challenges the methodological adequacy of previous juvenile disposition studies, particularly their conceptualization and measure of social class. Second, a neo-Marxian theory of juvenile court dispositions is presented. This theory distinguishes between two offense patterns (traditional crimes against person and property and crimes against the moral order, status and victimless offenses) in terms of their relative impact on …
Social Integration, Victimization, and Anomia
Durkheim argues that anomie occurs as a result of some temporary or longterm crisis that disturbs the collective order. Yet, at the individual level an event or events must be perceived as affecting immediate social relationships before anomia occurs. Previous victimization research reports suggest that crimes may cause interaction problems for the victims. This passibility was analyzed using two notional samples collected by the Notional Opinion…
