  • Impact of increased police presence in a non-criminogenic area

    Emmanuel P Barthe, B Grant StittARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2011

    Police experiments typically study saturation patrols and crackdown initiatives in high crime areas. Similarly, some evaluation efforts focus on the efficacy of problem-solving techniques to reduce offending rates in crime hot spots. However, little academic attention has been paid to the impact of these types of approaches on affluent neighborhoods because these types of crime control initiative are not routinely carried out in intact neighborho…

This study looks at the city’s various crime hotspots and compares them according to crime type and spatial–temp…

The results indicate that 24.2% of underage Memphis r…

  • Per Capita Alcohol Consumption and Crime

    David Giacopassi, David J Giacopassi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…1991References: 7

    On a global basis, alcohol has been recognized to be associated with all forms of human problems. A thorough review of the literature on crime and alcohol-related problems reveals a paucity of empirical studies of the relationship of alcohol consumption to crime rates. This study examines that relationship and suggests what might be additional analytical refinements which should be made to further specify the relationship of alcohol consumption t…

  • Siblings and Delinquent Behavior

    Open AccessKaren Wilkinson, B Grant Stitt et al.ARTICLECriminology1982Cited by: 4References: 15

    This exploratory article examines the relation between sibling structure (sex of siblings and birth order) and self‐reported delinquency. The processes of contrast and imitation, conceptual notions derived from research on sibling structure and sex roles, are used to guide this exploration. Considerable variation in delinquency by sibling status was identified. There are indications that an interaction effect exists between birth order and sex of…

  • The Dynamics of 'Corrective' Groups

    Paul V Crosbie, Frank A Petroni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1972Cited by: 1

    Noting the limited understanding of group dynamics among health researchers using corrective groups, this paper proposes that a number of principles already established in the field of small groups might be used to facilitate the processes of conformity and social control in corrective groups. An exploratory experiment designed to test the eflects of several group characteristics was conducted with smoking cessation groups. The experiment, with s…
