Organizational Crime
Police Organization in the Twentieth Century
Despite some continuity with past forms and functions, police organization in the twentieth century has evolved in response to changes in technology, social organization, and political governance at all levels of society. Major developments in police organization have occurred in the areas of command organization and mobilization of patrol officers, the organization and work of patrol officers, and the access and use of information systems by all…
Co-Offending and Criminal Careers
Understanding co-offending is central to understanding the etiology of crime and the effects of intervention strategies. The ratio of individual to co-offenders varies among crimes. Solo offending criminal careers are less common than those of exclusively co-offending but the typical criminal career is a mix of offenses committed alone and with others. Co-offending is more characteristic of juvenile than of adult criminality. Distinctions must be…
Why Are Communities Important in Understanding Crime
Continuities in the Study of Ecological Succession
This paper concerns the problem of how residential succession affects the character of one set of local organizations: small businesses in racially changing neighborhoods. A key issue examined is the extent to which the causes and consequences of residential succession account also for the succession of small-busines organizations. Only one type of succession is examined in this paper: the movement of blacks into areas previously occupied by whit…

Putting Sociology into Policy
Anyone discoursing on putting sociology to work in the development and implementation of social policy risks saying what is obvious to its defenders and its detractors. Nonetheless, in these days when sociology quite often is politicized, it may be useful to remind ourselves of some rather obvious matters about the state of sociological knowledge that affects our role as men of policy. I do not propose to do anything more than recite a few things…
Command, Control, and Charisma
This paper examines several features of American police systems that account for some variation and change in command structures and the personal charisma of the chief. Ways that the bureaucratization of the police have served to commit officers to an occupational organization, to an occupational community, and to norms of subordination and service in such a way that these commitments take precedence over extra-occupational ones are also examined…
Occupational Segregation in a Metropolitan School System
The relationship between socioeconomic levels of close friends, the extent to which this relationship may be a consequence of socioeconomic segregation of schools, and the extent to which school segregation is a consequence of residential segregation in the larger community are examined for the Nashville, Tennessee, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area male population in grades 7-12. The fact than boys tend to choose their best friends from the…

Rural-Urban and Status Differences in Interpersonal Contacts
In a pilot study to test differences in types of personal contacts among urban, rural-non-farm, and rural-farm residents of high and low status, the time-budget was used as a means of gathering data. There are no significant differences of status in types of interpersonal contact or time spent in contact which are independent of residential settings. Among the residential groups, classified by contacts, significant differences in exposure to mass…

Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency. II. An Appraisal of the Research Methods
There are no adequate theoretical or methodological criteria for evaluating the findings of the recent research work of the Gluecks. Nevertheless, it must be noted in judging their work that the delinquents and non delinquents are poorly matched on neighborhood environmental factors and that the role of primary group relationship and controls and of secondary institutions in structuring personality and enforcing behavior in conformity with a set …

The Accuracy, Efficiency, and Validity of a Prediction Instrument
Prognostic instruments were developed to predict the recidivism of white male juvenile delinquent probationers, and predictions were made for a follow-up sample of cases. The results suggest that an accurate and efficient prediction instrument calls for a small number of stable items from efficient factors having a relatively high association with the criterion. These items are then used to predict an event in a population homegeneous with respec…
Formal Devices for Making Selection Decisions
One form of device for accepting or rejecting applicants who are potential successes or failures is to assign a score to each applicant on the basis of which, according to a rule, his acceptance or rejection will be determined. A variety of decision rules may be stated within a cost-utility framework, the choice among them being determined by selection policy. The construction of formal devices for making selection decisions promises to be a valu…
