Navigating the space between politics and administration
Through interviews with 25 school board trustees in Ontario, this article contributes to the growing literature that explores the politics‐administration dichotomy at the local government level in Canada. While existing literature is oriented from the perspective of the local government administrator, we examine the relations between local government politicians and administrators from the orientation of the former to determine how they navigate …
Classifying responsible investors
Little empirical research has explored Canadian investors' interest in responsible investing. A variety of demographic and attitudinal characteristics can contribute to who makes ethical investments. Using a survey of 1,834 residents of Ontario, Canada three groups of investors are identified: those interested in responsible investments who actively avoid investing in some sectors, those interested in responsible investments who do not actively a…
Stealth democracy and the school board trustee
The value of elected school board trustees has been a topic of debate. Several provinces in Canada have already eliminated them, with Manitoba currently considering abolishing them as well. Whether this is supported—or opposed—by the public is somewhat unknown. This research note reports the results of a survey of Ontario residents. We find that while two‐thirds of respondents support retaining trustees, there are factors that pull people more to…

The current ethos of most nonprofit boards of directors focuses on role clarity between board directors and the executive director. The board’s role is to collectively set strategic direction and provide oversight while leaving day-to-day operations to staff. Yet, many individual directors join a board to make an impact on the organization by addressing very specific operational concerns and/or to represent a stakeholder group, and this creates t…
Connecting social disorganization to broken windows and routine activities
Routine Activity Theory, Broken Windows Theory, and Social Disorganization Theory each attempt to explain the spatial distribution of neighbourhood crime. This paper explores how these theories relate to neighbourhood crime. A concept map integrating key concepts from the theories comprehensively describes the causes of neighbourhood crime. In particular, the map highlights the concept of Ecological (Dis)advantage as a key link between Routine Ac…
Fear of crime and participation in associational life
Fear of crime is studied extensively as a potential contributor to the decline of a community. People who fear crime are expected to stay indoors and seek shelter, which then encourages more crime, setting in motion a vicious cycle that ultimately bodes ill for community engagement. However, there is little research that examines directly the relationship between fear of crime and participation. We explore such a relationship with Canadian survey…
