Teaching the Idea of Contextual Effects
A major insight of sociology that individuals with similar characteristics act and think differently when exposed to different situations. An important part of sociological inquiry to ask what situations encourage people to behave, think, or feel in particular ways-perhaps even in ways that might seem peculiar if only individual traits are considered. In the technical literature, this insight called effects. The idea has a long scholarly traditio…

Collective Violence and the Problem of Group Size in Aggregate-Level Studies
The size of an aggrieved group is of central importance in explaining the nature and scope of its collective protests. Even though some theorists have claimed to be uninterested in the impacts of “size,” all realize that its effects must be controlled for in the assessment of other factors thought to underlie rebellion, e.g., inequality, political responsiveness, and the coercive power of authorities. There are a variety of means to measure and c…
Black Attitudes and the 1960s Black Riots: An Aggregate-Level Analysis of the Kerner Commission's '15 Cities' Data
Nearly all aggregate-level studies of political violence use objective indicators to assess an aggrieved group's dissatisfactions and deprivations. Critics of this research often note that there are no necessary connections between perceived grievances and their objective counterparts. Moreover, even if such correlations do exist, detractors contend there is no inherent relation between felt grievances and participation in—or support of—collectiv…
The Pitfalls of Post-Factum Sociological Interpretation: A Classroom Demonstration
Hindsight is perfect." In our discipline the implications of this adage can be found in discussions of the pitfalls of post-factum sociological interpretation. The essence of such discussions is that theories always can be molded to fit the patterns we find in our data. My intent in this paper is to present a classroom technique for demonstrating the post-factum interpretation problem
Introduction to Sociology
Local Police Force Size and the Severity of the 1960s Black Rioting
The repressive power of a government to quell rebellious activity is a central variable in all social science theories of rebellion. Several previous studies of the 1960s black riots have tried to incorporate the repressive-power construct into city-level explanations of riot activity. This article continues in this tradition and focuses on the relationship between relative police force size and the severity of black rioting that cities incurred …
In the Narrows of the 1960s U.S. Black Rioting
This article develops the hypothesis that the underlying processes generating the 1960s black rioting differed by time frame. More specifically, the idea is developed that local situations of blacks mattered least during the rioting explosion immediately following the assassination of Martin Luther King. To test this hypothesis, two subpopulations of cities were defined: those experiencing black rioting during April 1968 (N = 130), and those that…
The 1960s Black Riots Revisited: City Level Explanations of Their Severity
This paper involves a city-level investigation of the 1964-1971 black rioting. It attempts to explain inter-city variations in the severity of the rioting with inter-city variations in black population size, political structure, black-white income inequality, and regional location. The research charts two new areas of inquiry: (1) It is the first study to use data on the entire rioting period (1964-71). (2) Most previous investigators have concen…
