Animal Cruelty, Domestic Violence, and Social Disorganization in a Suburban Setting
Breaking away from a focus on the influence of individual characteristics on animal cruelty and guided by social disorganization theory, we investigated animal cruelty violations in block groups in a city in coastal Virginia. We discovered that block groups with higher levels of social disorganization, measured by economic disadvantage, ethnic heterogeneity, residential mobility, and family disruption, had higher levels of animal cruelty violatio…
Churches as Neighborhood Organizations and Their Relationship to Street and Domestic Violent Crime
Recent developments in both theory and research on neighborhood crime have focused attention on the role of organizations. The current research builds on the existing literature to examine the relationship of churches to neighborhood "street" and domestic violence. The findings suggest that churches are fairly stable neighborhood organizations and not importantly heterogeneous, and neither factor appears to be related to neighborhood crime. Alter…
Home Ownership and Well-Being
Through three cross-sectional surveys conducted in 1981, 1983, and 1989 we investigate a model of the articulation between home ownership and cognitive well-being. Data were collected from participants in an experimental home ownership program designed for working class families. Our model anticipates that home ownership will increase feelings of overall well-being by increasing satisfaction with the residential environment and increasing interac…
Media and violence
Recently much research has linked media violence with actual violence. The most serious violence, suicides, and homicides have been connected to events portrayed in the mass media. In this study I examine the effect of NFL football playoff games on the relative incidence of homicides between standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs) with and without participating teams. Results show that homicides may be related to participation. Specifical…
Participation in Voluntary Organizations Among Moderate Income Home Owners and Renters
Owning one’s home has long been a part of the “good life” in the United States. Although realized by most of today’s adult population, It may become increasingly difficult to achieve in the future, especially for families with moderate and low economic resources. Given the importance and popularity of the status of home ownership among most Americans, it is surprising that so little is known about its subsequent social effects.This paper explores…
Social Status and the Application of Sanctions to Hypothetical Criminal Offenders
Responses to hypothetical episodes of criminal acts from 523 adult respondents were used to test the proposition that persons react to criminal offenders and victims partially on the basis of class identification. Specifically, we hypothesized that persons would tend to recommend greater degrees of punishment to offenders who occupied class positions different from themselves and to offenders whose victims were similar to themselves. The data did…
