Measuring Crime Seriousness
This paper considers strategies for studying crime seriousness, reviews the requirements for using magnitude estimation, reports a method study, and identifies problems in the US National Survey of Crime Severity (NSCS). Among those problems are: (1) most NSCS sub-group differences in crime perceptions are not interpretable because of the variant of magnitude estimation used in the NSCS; (2) their cross-modality laboratory studies are irrelevant …
Citizen Crime Stereotypes—normative Consensus Revisited
This paper examines the extent of agreement about complex perceptions of crime—crime stereotypes. The literature addresses crime seriousness. Crime perception is a complex phenomenon including much more than judged seriousness. Crime stereotypes are shown to be coherently organized around a few basic perceptions such as level of violence, amount of property harm, level of sex relatedness, and perhaps a few others. While the data affirm that there…
The Ecological Context of Urban Crime
This article tests further a relationship between suburbanization and central-city crime rates shown in papers by Gibbs and Erickson (1976) and by Skogan (1977). We show that although Gibbs and Erickson fail to introduce an important control (metropolitan population), the relationship persists after such a control is introduced. We also show that the relationship holds for a much wider range of cities than the 32 large cities studied by Skogan. D…
