The Dirichlet-Gamma-Poisson Model of Repeated Events
A new multivariate statistical model of repeated events, the Dirichlet-gamma-Poisson model, is shown to account accurately for the multivariate distribution of four types of victimizations reported in city samples of the National Crime Survey. The lifestyle theory of victimization is used to interpret the compounding that defines the model. Parameter estimation, interpretation, and the prediction of future events based on past events are discusse…
Modeling individual and aggregate victimization rates
Multiple Victimization in American Cities
Poisson and negative binomial models are applied to the number of multiple victimizations reported in the National Crime Surveys. The negative binomial but not the Poisson models is shown to be compatible with the data. The negative binomial model is consistent with the hypothesis that the probability of being victimized is constant over time and does not depend upon the number of prior victimizations, but that not all persons, businesses, and ho…

An Ecological Analysis of Urban Growth Between 1900 and 1940
A study of 157 cities suggests that specialization theories, central to an ecological model of urban growth, require qualification. Contrary to expectations, specialization plays a limited role in urban growth, which appears to be most closely related to a city's intermural transportation system
A Causal Model of Secondary Deviance
The causal structure of a theory of secondary deviance is fitted to data from a sample of 148 male homosexuals. The model suggests that if one perceives others reacting to him on the basis of the homosexual stereotype, his self definition may incorporate the stereotype. These responses, and the accompanied feelings of stigma, are likely to produce stress. As an adaptation, the individual may shift his reference associations to homosexual groups. …
