Artificial Intelligence and Illicit Drugs: A World of Possibilities
Research Methods for Rural Criminologists
Conducting rural criminological research exposes researchers to concerns such as absence or inadequate official data about crime and superficial rural-urban comparisons, rural isolation and distance from the researchers' office to the study site, and lack of services or access to justice. This distinct cultural context means that studying rural crime requires creatively adapting existing research methods. Conducting research about or in rural set…
Locating crime in context and place: Perspectives on regional, rural and remote Australia
crime in context and place: perspectives on regional, and remote Australia, edited by A. Harkness, B. Harris and D. Barker, Sydney, The Federation Press, 2016, 223 pp., $31.43 (paperback), ISBN 978-1760020477In many ways, Australia is a living laboratory for the study of crime. Physically, the country is enormous, but, as the book's introduction notes ... 90.5 per cent of the population resides on 0.22 percent of Australia's land area (p. 6). As …
Drug production in the rural context
Rural areas serve as points of illicit drug production, in particular methamphetamine and marijuana. The National Institute on Drug Abuse defines methamphetamine as a central nervous system stimulant that produces an intense euphoric sense among the people who use it by blocking the release and reuptake of dopamine in the their brains. Perhaps drugs such as methamphetamine and marijuana are particularly problematic among rural residents in part b…
Domestic marijuana growers: Mainstreaming deviance∗
Since the early 1980s, domestic marijuana cultivation has provided an increasing proportion of the marijuana consumed in the United States. Some estimate that as much as 50 percent of the marijuana consumed in the U.S. is now domestically grown. Despite the impact of domestic cultivation on the marijuana market, little is known about people who grow marijuana for profit. Compared with many other business opportunities in the drug world, marijuana…
When mothers kill their children
Of 460 female homicide offenders admitted to a state prison for women in 1940–1983, 39 were institutionalized for killing their children. Among these offenders, several interesting changes over time were noted. First, women in the earlier time periods were more likely to be married at the time of the offense. Second, the racial mix of offenders changed from predominantly white to predominantly black. Third, offenders in the 1940–1966 period were …
Self-Generated Identification Codes for Anonymous Collection of Longitudinal Questionnaire Data
Self-Generated Identification Codes for Anonymous Collection of Longitudinal Questionnaire Data
The success of a self-generated identification code for linking longitudinal questionnaire data was examined. The matching procedure developed for linking questionnaires, including a simple technique to compensate for nonidentical codes, yielded a high success rate (92% linkage of cases over a one-month interval and 78% over a one-year interval) and very few incorrectly linked cases. The procedure worked equally well with elementary and high scho…
